Band Name | Origin/Background | Significance |
---|---|---|
Sex Pistols | Managed by Malcolm McLaren, the name was supposedly suggested by a member/associate of the band; meant to be suggestive and attention-grabbing. Some say it referenced McLaren’s sex shop, ‘SEX’. | Symbolized the brash, confrontational attitude, and the overt sexuality that defined early punk. A truly disruptive force. |
The Ramones | All members adopted the surname “Ramone” as stage names, inspired by Paul McCartney’s occasional use of the alias “Paul Ramon” during The Beatles’ early days. | Simple, uniform, and stripped-down, reflecting their minimalist music and tight-knit image. Very influential for future groups. |
The Clash | Suggested by road manager Johnny Green after seeing a newspaper headline referencing clashes with youth gangs. | Evoked conflict and rebellion, aligning with their politically charged lyrics and anti-establishment stance. Very effective image. |
Dead Kennedys | Proposed by Jello Biafra and intentionally provocative, juxtaposing “Dead” with the iconic, recently assassinated President John F. Kennedy for satire. | Directly attacked American social and political issues and provoked major controversies. Highly memorable, whether you liked them or not. |
Black Flag | Named by Greg Ginn. Combined the name of an insecticide to suggest something dangerous, with a visual that hinted at anarchy (the flags). | A reference to Anarchy and Corporate Wasteland. More subtly a reference for the Vietnam War being “Cleared up” |
Buzzcocks | Suggested by Howard Devoto after seeing the headline “Buzzcock’s Coming!” related “buzz” with getting high from love, drugs everything basically being alive | Being alive could also be buzzing: getting something done at all |
