Music by Genre
Band, artist and album names for 35 genres, from black metal and K-pop to bluegrass and film scores.
Every genre names itself differently. Black metal reaches for winter and old tongues, K-pop for short, bright words, country for real-sounding names and dirt roads, lo-fi for soft lowercase. Each generator here is built from how acts in that genre actually name themselves, with at least 200 names for every choice and no real bands or artists.
Start with the Metal Band Name Generator, the K-pop Name Generator or the Country Singer Name Generator. Writing for picture? Try the Score Title Generator and the Composer Name Generator. For a name that works across every style, the Band Name Generator is still the place to begin.
