Band Name 

Something that high school musicians seem to spend an eternity settling on, and often resorting to random phrases, in jokes, and in the case of death metal bands a word to do with disease, death or witchcraft

Drummer: Dude we should totally name the band 'Ninjas on fire.'

Bassist: No loser that's a terrible band name, no one will take us seriously we'll never make it with a name like that.

Guitarist: You guys realize we can't play any songs and all we did was make a MySpace right?

band name dropping 

Directly related to name dropping, the act of creating an overly large list of bands in an effort to appear more culturally secure rather than a true love of music. The "band name dropper" is trying to appear more cultured and music knowledgeable that they really are. Intelligent people are able to see through the facade and this is a negative habit.

"Oh Hey! I like Tool, The Stones, Metallica, Foo Fighters, blah blah blah, Styx, The Beatles, blah blah.. (usually by now you tune out again.)"

Anyone who has an online profile with more than 7-10 bands in the "music I like" section is a high candidate for band name dropping.

A name given while being a rookie in a band/marching band. Usually off of a characteristic or style. The name is demeaning on purpose. To build respect and humility for their leaders. ONLY BAND MEMBERS CAN CALL ANOTHER BAND MEMBER BY THEIR BAND NAME...

namebanding 

The inevitable replacement of one's former surname with the last word of the band in which a musician currently play in. Often enough, though, one may keep a maiden nameband from a previous band or project. Namebanding also exists with groupies and apprehensive friends of the band that "really wish they could play with them" who are also accepted into or by the band, but who's surnames are replaced with the last word of the food establishment, coffe house, bar autorepair shop or gardening center to which they are currently employed.

Ben Lingo:Yeah, we were all name banding back then... I was namebanded back in 1996, playing shows with Fred and Grahm Lingo in a little math rock trio that hot college sluts knew as: "Mute Lingo."

or

Evan Gardens: Hey what's up Ty Theft? Now that I've been involved in some namebanding, I can't wait to get out and see your show tonight. I'm going to be one of the first ones there after I finish up here at my hydroponic growing systems supply store called "Progressive Gardens."
