We take a look at some of the most inappropriate band names from the ’90s techno scene. From the sexually explicit to the just plain offensive, these are the bands that pushed the boundaries of taste.
The ’90s Techno Scene
The ’90s Techno scene was filled with a lot of great music. Unfortunately, it was also filled with a lot of bad band names. In this article, we will take a look at some of the worst band names from the ’90s Techno scene.
The birth of techno
The first Detroit techno tracks were produced in the mid-late 1980s by Juan Atkins, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson, who became known as the Belleville Three. By the early 1990s, techno had spread around the world to London, Berlin, The Hague, Rotterdam, Barcelona, Milan, Tokyo and many other cities. The music was also increasingly being referred to as “electronica”, a name suggested by British music journalist Simon Reynolds in a May 1992 issue of UK magazine Melody Maker.
The rise of the rave culture
By the early 1990s, the rave culture in England had begun to evolve from a predominantly white, middle-class youth movement into a more ethnically and socio-economically diverse scene. The music became more syncopated and techno bands began to sample and incorporate elements of other genres, including hip hop and house music. This new style of music was embraced by a wider audience, and the technoscene became one of the most popular subcultures in England.
However, not everyone was happy with the direction that the techno scene was taking. Some members of the original rave culture felt that the new style of music was too commercialized and watered down. They also disapproved of the increasingly diverse crowd that was attending techno events. In response to these changes, some members of the techno scene began to form their own subculture, which they called “the hardtechno scene.”
The hardtechno scene was characterized by its focus on underground parties and DIY ethic. Hardtechno DJs and producers often made their own music using simple equipment, such as drum machines and synthesizers. The hardtechno sound was darker and more industrial than mainstream techno, and it soon began to attract a small but devoted following.
However, the hardtechno scene was not without its controversies. Many hardtechno fans were accused of being elitist and exclusive, and some parties were shut down by authorities for being too rowdy. Nevertheless, the hardtechno scene continues to thrive in Europe and North America, attracting fans from all walks of life who share a love for dark, underground techno music.

The meaning behind the names
When it comes to naming their bands, 90s techno musicians were not messing around. Inappropriate band names were all the rage in the music scene, and many of these moniker’s sexual innuendos were lost on the average listener. But if you know what to look for, you can find some pretty raunchy references hidden in these band names.
Here are some of the most inappropriate band names from the 90s techno scene:
-The KLF: The KLF was a British electronic music duo who were known for their outrageous behavior as much as their music. Their name stands for ” Kopyright Liberation Front,” but it was also a play on the word “kinky.”
-2 Unlimited: This Eurodance group’s name was a pretty clear reference to anal sex.
-Prodigy: This name was chosen by Liam Howlett because it sounded “edgy.” But it’s also a type of vibrator, which might explain some of the group’s more raunchy lyrics.
-C+C Music Factory: This band’s name was a double entendre for both cocaine and oral sex. Classy!
-Digital Underground: This group took their name from a type of sex toy. Nuff said.
The controversy surrounding the names
Over the years, there have been many bands with names that some people find offensive. In the 1990s, a number of techno bands emerged with names that were considered to be highly inappropriate. This led to a lot of controversy surrounding the bands and their music.

-Date Rape
-PedoBear
These names caused a great deal of outrage among many people, who felt that they were highly inappropriate and offensive. As a result, many of these bands faced a lot of criticism and backlash.
