Would you please stop naming yourselves with a word capitalized and vowels removed.

It may have been cool as fuck and cutting edge back when nobody else had thought of doing it but it's overdone now. It's the artist name equivalent of using the brutal electro patch. Just cos other people are doing it doesn't mean you have to!

If your succession of capital letters is an acronym, then please do not get confused, this plea is not directed at you.

Its the ones who just drop the vowels and capitalize that are doing my nut in. It's no longer original. In fact, it's fucking annoying. Please stop it.

For the record, Hudson Mohawke & Lunices latest project TNGHT was the final straw for me. Previous offenders include :

SBTRKT
BNJMN
DFRNT
SCB
MGMT
SWTBRDS
PVT
MSTRKRFT

There will be plenty more, and many lesser known offenders, some playing out your local area i'm sure. And that's not to mention the album names, club nights, and blogs using the same tired idea.

Just give it a rest guys.

Thanks in advance 8)
BNJMN's been around for a while. Plastic World was 3 years old before it came out. He was originally called BNJMIN but ended up removing the 'I' at someones request.

It's just overdone, like people swapping the first letters of things, e.g. Mord Fustang

Those ones are probably more annoying.

Jichael Mackson was the first I came across. Had a mild chuckle and didn't check his music out.

The latest : Com Truise.

Absolute shite.
