| Shitpost bands that transcended
Sometimes, bands that started out as a joke, became better at the thing they parodied than "serious" bands. Just listened to a friend's "joke" band this weekend that I gotta admit, I enjoy a whole lot more than his other bands, which gave me the idea for this list. Feel free to add examples. | | 1 |  | The KLF
The White Room
The KLF straight up perfected stadium trance/rave despite trying to mock it. A super example of how deconstruction can actually add a lot more to the whole. | | 2 |  | Stormtroopers of Death
Speak English or Die
SOD is the other side of the coin. It's not approaching the crossover thrash scene on an intellectual, but an instinctual level. Banged out over a couple of days by dudes from more successful bands, it feels a lot more fun and honest simply because there is no filter that thrash bands usually shoot themselves in the foot with. | | 3 |  | Laibach
Opus Dei
I'm not entirely convinced that Laibach could ever be called a "shitpost" band, but their stuff has a lot more humour to it than seems at first. They obviously have a lot of parody and irony in their work. | |

02.17.25 | I actually like The White Room. I don't think that makes me pissy.
I don't think I heard Stormtroopers of Death's album before, but I may give it a listen as I grew up with listening to death metal for 3 years.
I never thought Laibach would be considered to be a "shitpost" band, either. Opus Dei never clicked me. xP

Shitpost bands that transcended? I have no idea, but I'll name two albums from each band:
The Frozen Autumn - Emotional Screening Device (2002) (Darkwave and Synthpop)
Lords of Acid - Lust (1991) (Techno, New Beat or Rave with sex themes) | arthropod
02.17.25 | The first thing that crossed my mind is Bloodywood. Rakshak is a great record, but their early songs/MV's like Angry Santa or Tunak Tunak Tun give strong shitpost vibes. | Avagantamos
02.17.25 | cannabis corpse > cannibal ccorpse | Calc
02.17.25 | austrian death machine?
puig destroyer? | BMDrummer

i've done lots of different shitpost hardcore bands, but this is the best one lol. me on drumz and vocals and some doof on guitar, a couple of shots of jameson's later and here it is | BallsToTheWall
02.17.25 | 2 is essential. I’d jokingly wear a shirt but I don’t need any more heat on me. | botb
02.17.25 | Horse the band | brickhed
02.17.25 | SOD is honestly just great straight crossover thrash. Would say it's an essential listen for anyone getting into the genre. | Beardog
02.18.25 | That one slaves that worship the devil fourchan band | noahfor
02.18.25 | "Horse the band"
Not that they were ever really a joke, but they definitely got pegged as a gimmick, when they are so much more. | vult
02.18.25 | Bilmuri probably - started out as a very meme heavy fun project and has now exploded | botb
02.18.25 | I mean lyrically they were always a joke band | unclereich
02.18.25 | lil ugly mane | kkarron
03.19.25 | shit yeah, Lords Of Acid was great | IsisScript80
03.19.25 | Good call on KLF. |
