Bands can earn their rep by playing really good music, putting on an amazing live performance, or they can scam their way into the spotlight with a gimmick.
Now, that’s not to say that all gimmicky bands are bad, or that all bands with offensive names lack talent, but there's something special about a band that manages to offend and delight at the same time.
Diffuser has put together a list of 27 Of The Most Offensive Band Names Ever, a list that includes great bands like the Butthole Surfers, Dead Kennedys and The Jesus Lizard, and a bunch of bands with extremely NSFW names.
But don't worry- the names are all edited, so your mind can remained unsullied, although the same cannot be said if you decide to listen to any of these bands!
