Hip-Hop-Lite-Pop-Metalists, I Got Your New Name
You know the way this works by now. Perusing Google News Headlines, I come up with seven names for musical acts each week. This week, I will suggest what sort of act/genre should take each name. But since genres are so specialized and drilled-down these days, I will be very specific.
Finding Ice Euro retro-technoConducting a Drill alt-emo-house-prog-rock
The Star Alliance supergay 80s hair-arena-metal revival
Shadow of a Smile male/female dark singer-songwriter duo on the verge of a breakup
The Angry Clerics christian-thrash-drug-metal
Vancouver Footwear emo-pop-neo-grungeExtra Solar Earth Thai rap-hip-hop-ska
Do you have any more, Jetpacks? Uh...yes. About 118 more.

Nice choice of the Weepies. Incidentally, I propose a slogan for that genre: "Every song is Sunday morning!"

I searched "male female singer songwriter" and they looked perfect.
No offense to the Weepies, whom I never heard of before that search.

We like them here. They are not, however, on the mp3 device's jogging playlist.
