A wonderful alter-ego of Fight Club's narrator. Often misinterpereted by punks who have only seen the movie and didn't read the Palahniuk book.

Get the Durden, Tyler mug.
Absolutely amazing band. Of the indie rock persuasion. This band has created two albums, Wonderland, and more recently, an album generated to be musical-esque, Razia's Shadow. Their name came from the novel Fight Club and are from Seattle, Washington. The lead singer, and now only member of the band, Thomas Dutton, is a genius, using beautiful instruments, and guest singers such as Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco, Greta Salpeter from The Hush Sound, Casey Crescenzo from The Dear Hunter, Max Bemis from Say Anything, and many more.
"Oh hey, look at this completely genius, misunderstood band from Fueled by Ramen."

"Oh you must mean Forgive Durden."

"Why yes, I am."

Bro, I had an all out elbow war with my Tyler Durden on the plane!

The airline service was horrible, but I got a hot chick for my Tyler Durden so it worked out.

The name saved in a phone for someone who you do not want others know you are talking to. Maybe for the sake of protective parents. Maybe for the sake of secrets.

Originates from the character Tyler Durden from "Fight Club" who lived a life apart from his own.
