* MadnessMantra: Over-the-top screamo with disturbing yet repetitive lyrics. Also a rival band to SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, releasing more often, but generally considered of lower quality.
* MagicPoweredPseudoscience: Similar in style to the {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s, but with HeavyMithril type lyrics.
* MagnificentBastard: A PowerMetal group that manages to win platinum sales through a combination of charisma, underhanded tactics, intellect, and style; even when they don't go platinum, they accept defeat with dignity.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl:
** Punkish indie-rock band who play hyperactive, annoyingly catchy songs. Their lead singer is a cute PerkyGoth girl who writes {{Cloudcuckoolander}} lyrics full of TalkativeLoon non-sequiteurs. Somehow she manages to come across as cute rather than extremely annoying.
** Alternately, Creator/ZooeyDeschanel's next project, consisting chiefly of self-parody.
* MarshmallowDream: Kiddie pop.
* MarshmallowHell: Girl group that uses Bubblegum pop-like melodies with varying levels of LyricalDissonance. The lead singer is rather well-endowed, the others might be just faking it.

* MasterOfTheLevitatingBlades: Intense slash metal.
* MaximumFunChamber: 900+ BPM speedcore/happy hardcore fusion. Became the center of [[MoralGuardian great controversy]] when it was revealed that several synth fills in their songs, when converted into Morse code, translated into "LSD".

* MegaNeko: Formed by a former SailorEarth drummer and themed after ''Manga/TokyoMewMew''. The band members dress as the Mew Mew while their dancers dress as the aliens from the manga. The dancer who dresses as Quiche/Dren is believed to be Creator/AndrewRannells in disguise.

Fans recommend "Girlfriend for a Day" (their loving tribute to [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Samus Aran]]) and "H Is for Pervert" (all you ever wanted to know about Hentai but were afraid to ask).
* MindControlEyes: Trance music that's so hypnotic that the band-members have to keep a close eye on each other, as it can even get to them. Their music videos are filled with spirals and other hypnotic imagery.
* TheMinneapolisSound: 80s jazz/swing music.
* MindScrew: Noisy techno band, describes themselves as a cross between Aphex Twin and Merzbow.
* MindRape: Their songs are SensoryAbuse to the point of NightmareFuel, and can cause nausea if listened to for more than a few minutes at a time. That is, of course, their whole gimmick. Currently on hiatus after they were sued by a man who nearly died from listening to one of their songs in full.

* The {{Mood Swinger}}s: Insanely neurotic, with many tone changes in just one song. Their "SongOfManyEmotions" is a six-minute ballad that somehow switches tones with every verse.
* {{Moonburn}}: A GlamRock band with various soft melodies to evoke romance, interrupted with various HardRock intervals evocative of Music/TwistedSister.
* MoralEventHorizon: Death/doom band out of Nova Scotia originally known as RapeTheDog. Although popularly rumored to have changed their name so Walmart would carry their first album, ''NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast'', they actually changed it after discovering a Denver grunge band was already using the name.

* MostWritersAreHuman: AffectionateParody of avant-garde music acts.
* MotorMouth: A small RapRock group known for the eponymous rapper, who writes more lyrics in the first verse than most power ballads. They don't bother with prompters because gibberish is more fun while performing live and nobody needs to call them out if they don't know the words either.

* MugshotMontage: A BoyBand with a Prison-theme, their first album featured multiple mugshot pictures of each band member.
* MultipleChoiceFuture: A French House duo ''that totally isn't Music/DaftPunk'' that squeezes in droning beats and ambiance to create a "cosmic peace" when listening to them. People hear them and think that the minor differences in their songs as they listen to them is somehow a part of the Mandala Effect.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: Strongly Emo-tinged hardcore, in the style of Alesana and Chiodos, with From First to Last -esque angsting and vocal style.
* MurderersAreRapists: Straight-up deathcore a'la As Blood Runs Black or Suicide Silence. Their longest song is about eight minutes long and has no less than fifteen breakdowns.
* MuseAbuse: DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible covers of Music/{{Muse}} songs.
* MushroomSamba: Latin dance band with somewhat psychedelic touch.
* MusicToInvadePolandTo: Disco polo outfit from, well, Poland. Most of their music is a lampooning of the Nazis, and they wear authentic Nazi uniforms and wave Nazi flags on stage. Not for the easily offended.

* NecroNonSequitur: Blackened death metal. Well known for their WordSaladLyrics.
* NeonCity: Mallsoft.
* The NervousTics: Never got off the ground, because it's rare that they can finish recording a song without having an anxiety attack.
* NeverGetsFat: The band members are all physically fit, and they snack constantly during performances. MoralGuardians accuse them of glorifying eating disorders, even though [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch none of their songs are about that]].
* NewGamePlus: The "Franchise/FinalFantasy" half of ExtendedGameplay. Hate both Nightmare Fuel and later Nightmare Fuel, but not early Nightmare Fuel, despite the fact that all are freaky and disturbing.
* NewNeoCity: NuMetal group with a love for RaygunGothic art and cinema.
* NewWeird: A GothRock[=/=]PostPunk who churn out {{Concept Album}}s about an ArtifactCollectionAgency and the many {{Ancient Artifact}}s, {{Eldritch Location}}s, {{Cult}}s and world-ending threats they encounter.
* NightmareFetishist: Pornogrind supergroup containing former members of Nightmare Fuel and Fetish Fuel.
* NightmareFuel: Some kind of metal-punk hybrid. Who may choose to always play the chord progressions of the 1989 PBS ident, before playing a power chord, where the last of the ident's chords would be, that leads into or begins their song.
** The remaining members of Nightmare Fuel after dumping their dead-weight lead singer. Their first album was recorded before they found a new one, so it's mostly instrumentals, and the few songs with lyrics, are either sung by a different band member each time or, in one case, shuttles between members. One of those instrumentals is their creepy metal cover of the 1989 PBS ident alone. Their second album was all covers; by that time, they'd picked up a lead singer with a really weird falsetto. Became NightmareFuel when the remaining members begin experimenting with Throbbing-Gristle-esque industrial and noise. With another cover of the 1989 PBS ident to boot. Do not listen to after the sun is down if you enjoy being able to sleep.
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: Hardcore goth, with plenty of {{Narm}}-filled lyrics. They occasionally "sample" the falsetto from the band above.
* NinetiesAntiHero: 90's {{Grunge}} band. They are very stereotypical, with as much angst as you can get, and all the members are jerks. They broke up in 1998 and have remained in obscurity until the bassist and rhythm guitarist joined CrisisCrossover.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A punk band whose lyrics would contain a lot of humor in the form of semi-obscure geek subculture references.
** Alternatively, an experimental band that fuses (sometimes contradictary) genres seemingly at random, and yet is still increadibly awesome in spite of (or maybe because of) this fact. Ninja, Pirate, Zombie, and Robot costumes are optional.
* NippleAndDimed: All-female rock band who perform topless. On tour with ThongOfShielding.
* NoMusicAllowed: Just vocals. Absolutely ''no'' backing tracks.
* NoNameGiven: A band who does covers of songs that were written anonymously. All the members wear blank name tags.
* NobodyPoops: A mix of techno and orchestral, going for epic sci-fi so hard they fall into the bizarrely awesome domain: [[LyricalDissonance but the lyrics]] are about [[MostWritersAreHuman humanity's failures of imagination]].
* NoExportForYou: An all-male trio who had a J-Pop/Electronica style and ended up being a huge hit in Japan. However, their label decided not to release their music anywhere else, deciding the music would not do well in other countries. The band tried to protest to get their music in other regions, but were quickly shunted off their label and replaced by [[BadExportForYou a new band who plays off-key covers of their songs.]] The company decided to take the band's idea and sell the music in other countries, however the new band did not perform quite as well.
* NonEntityGeneral: A [[MildlyMilitary quasi-military]] hard rock band making use of brass instruments. Notable for their lead singer, "[[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname Lieutenant-General]]", never appearing in public, with his identity a complete mystery surrounded by many EpilepticTrees.
* NoSuchThingAsSpaceJesus: Synthpop/techno fusion. The frontman used to head a Christian rock band (and, despite the name, is still a devout Christian, hence all the religious references in their music).
* NoodleIncident: An obscure indie rock band with a heavy progressive influence.
* Not Christian Rock (now defunct): Satirical anti-religious band. They got their current name when people mistook their songs for legitimate ChristianRock. [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor Currently on hiatus after the lead singer was arrested for the murder of a pastor]].

* NothingNiceAboutSugarAndSpice: Female duo who sing about how they're expected to be feminine, and how they want to challenge traditional gender roles.

* NotWearingTights: Comedy duo or trio who sing about pop culture.
* [[TurnOfTheMillennium The Noughties]]: A UK-based spin-off band of TurnOfTheMillennium. While Turn of the Millennium mainly focus on celebrating predominately American culture of the 2000s, the Noughties celebrate UK culture of the 2000s. They mostly do covers of songs by artists who were huge in the UK during the 2000s (e.g. Music/{{Coldplay}}, Music/{{Sugababes}}, Music/GirlsAloud, Music/ArcticMonkeys, Music/{{McFly}} and Music/JamesBlunt). Their live performances include iconic imagery from 2000s British TV shows and media events being projected behind them on a big screen for certain songs, trivia contests and handing out iconic 2000s British snacks at concessions.
* TheNthDoctor: A comedic ''Series/DoctorWho'' tribute band. Each member dresses as the Doctor and/or Companion of their choice. The leader singer is the Tenth Doctor, the guitarist is the Ninth Doctor, the keyboardist is Martha, the bassist is Captain Jack, and the drummer is Sarah Jane; sometimes they like to switch it up, though. Got some attention when the lead singer dressed up in the Twelth Doctor's official outfit well before it was known to the general public.
* NubileSavage: Bongos, vocals, and occasionally some horns. They are all sexy, especially the singer.
* ObliviousToLove: A band which does pop songs and sings about their non-understanding of why their girlfriends love them. The band is made up of 3 people, all of whom are male.
* ObsessedWithFood: All their songs are restaurant menus sung in a swing style. Often has OdeToFood appear as a guest artist.
* ObsessivelyNormal: A {{Doowop}} group that tries to be as harmless, wholesome and inoffensive to their parents as possibly. Ironically, they become very popular to the {{Hipster}} crowd, various critics believing their songs to possess incredibly risque messages in the lyrics.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Indie band from Indiana. They met while interning at the BMV in Indianapolis one summer; when they found themselves all working at West Lafayette City Hall upon returning to Purdue that fall, they decided to form a band. They dress in businesswear (the two guys in shirt-and-tie getups, the women in conservative dresses). Their signature song, "Application Denied", consists of the lead singer fantasizing about rejecting a hated ex-girlfriend's driver's license renewal.
* ObviouslyNotFine: Alternative rock. Comes a little too close to {{Wangst}}.
* OdeToFood: Grand musical numbers about how versatile favorite food is. From [[ThroughHisStomach winning over your crushes]], [[PostStressOvereating placating your stress]], [[ComfortFood providing comfort when you're sad]], and [[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting providing an escape from boring conversations]], it [[EatingSolvesEverything solves everything]]! Partners with ObsessedWithFood.
* OminousTelevision: A GarageBand somewhere between HardcorePunk and PostGrunge. The band is just one guy [=DJing=] all of the vocals and instruments [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]]-style and displaying them on various televisions (both box and flatscreen). For extra hipster-points, it is all done on VHS tapes, a performative aspect of the show being that they exchange the tapes for others mid-song for a subtle shift between songs.
* OmnicidalManiac: Doom metal. All of their songs chronicle the different means for all life on Earth to go extinct, usually from the point of view of the one causing the extinction. Currently on hiatus as all the members are in jail after it was discovered the band was secretly promoting a incredibly dangerous doomsday cult.

Only beaten by Music/TheBeatles in sheer popularity. There was once a a kid with cancer who, as his Make-A-Wish, asked if he could play a few riffs with this band.

** The remaining members of Nightmare Fuel after dumping their dead-weight lead singer. Their first album was recorded before they found a new one, so it's mostly instrumentals, and the few songs with lyrics, are either sung by a different band member each time or, in one case, shuttles between members. One of those instrumentals is their creepy metal cover of the 1989 PBS ident alone. Their second album was all covers; by that time, they'd picked up a lead singer with a really weird falsetto. Became NightmareFuel when the remaining members begin experimenting with Throbbing-Gristle-esque industrial and noise. With another cover of the 1989 PBS ident to boot.

* NoExportForYou: An all-male trio who had a J-Pop/Electronica style and ended up being a huge hit in Japan. However, their label decided not to release their music anywhere else, deciding the music would not do well in other countries.

* ObviouslyNotFine: Alternative rock. Comes a little too close to {{Wangst}}.
* OdeToFood: Grand musical numbers about how versatile favorite food is. From [[ThroughHisStomach winning over your crushes]], [[PostStressOvereating placating your stress]], [[ComfortFood providing comfort when you're sad]], and [[TheSnackIsMoreInteresting providing an escape from boring conversations]], it [[EatingSolvesEverything solves everything]]! Partners with ObsessedWithFood.
* OminousTelevision: A GarageBand somewhere between HardcorePunk and PostGrunge. The band is just one guy [=DJing=] all of the vocals and instruments [[Music/NineInchNails Trent Reznor]]-style and displaying them on various televisions (both box and flatscreen). For extra hipster-points, it is all done on VHS tapes, a performative aspect of the show being that they exchange the tapes for others mid-song for a subtle shift between songs.
* OmnicidalManiac: Doom metal. All of their songs chronicle the different means for all life on Earth to go extinct, usually from the point of view of the one causing the extinction. Currently on hiatus as all the members are in jail after it was discovered the band was secretly promoting a incredibly dangerous doomsday cult.
* OneHitWonder: GenreMashup band whose discography consists of one CoverAlbum after another. Said covers are originally by different one hit wonders. Are themselves a OneHitWonder with their only original song, the title track of their [[SelfTitledAlbum self-titled debut album]] (1984).

* JustForFun/OneMarioLimit: Five Mario fans who play [[GenreRoulette any genre]] and have everybody sing at least one song on their album. The two guitarists are brothers with mustaches (and the older, who plays lead and sings most songs, is fatter and shorter than rhythm), the bassist is a blonde girl, the keyboardist is strong and has wild hair, the drummer is a midget and they dress up like their respective Mario counterparts in concert.
* OneOfTheGirls: A guy is the singer and the musicians are girls. Lyrics are about abolishing gender roles.
* OneSteveLimit: Punk band with at least two members who have the same name (even if Steve is a NonIndicativeName).
* OneWingedAngel: Symphonic gothic fully-orchestrated power metal from Japan.
* OnlySaneMan: A strange GenreBusting garage band where the lead singer dresses like someone from Music/TheHives while everyone else dresses trashy and over the top. While the band plays thrash metal the singer will have lyrical pieces and very clean-sounding speech (albeit with some cursing). Subject matter will probably involve how antagonistic the singer is to the rest of the band, [[AlterEgoActing even if they're all in on it]].
* OnlySoManyCanadianActors: An alternative rock band from Canada. The lead singer is a [[ShakespearianActors Shakespearian actor]] who has played various roles at the Stratford Festival, the lead guitarist did additional voices in ''WesternAnimation/ToadPatrol'' and ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'', the rhythm guitarist is a former child actor, the bassist was a stunt double on ''Series/TheXFiles'', the keyboardist had a walk-on role on ''Series/{{Degrassi}}'', and the drummer is a talent coordinator.
* OrionDrive: A fusion of power metal and heavy metal, sound kinda like Music/IronSavior [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] Music/JudasPriest, and some of the more dramatic songs are kinda Music/{{Nightwish|Band}}-ee or Music/MeatLoaf-ish. Their album is a RockOpera about a GenerationShip with a Nuclear Pulse Engine. According to a WordOfGod from both the bands, it's the Distant Future of the CastFromHitPoints-verse after [[TheMagicGoesAway the magic faded]].
* OurMonstersAreDifferent: Hard rock band. No monsters of any kind feature in their lyrics ''at all'', but do feature heavily in their album art and {{Animated Music Video}}s depicting the members as said monsters.
* OutSick: Their first album was delayed because every member had a serious flu.
* PaedoHunt: Comedy indie rock group, it's members take on on-stage personas of pedophiles on the run from the law. The band's lyrics mock both sides of the "should pedophiles be considered people too" argument, and their song "ConvictedByPublicOpinion" became an internet meme for a period. Regularly attract the wrath of the MoralGuardians.
* PainAndGain: Punk rock.
* DarthWiki/PaintTheHeroBlack: An alternative rock band that sings songs with lyrics that take the most heroic actions in history and try to vilify them. Famous for their hit single "Thirteenth Amendment Blues". While they pretend to be bitter enemies with WhatTheHellHero it's all scripted for laughs.
* ParanoiaGambit: Industrial Synthetic Rock, advertises through propaganda-style posters.
* ParentsAreWrong: Rock music. A group of adults who sing about all sorts of lies they were told as kids to make them behave better. People who like them often enjoy The AbusiveOffspring.
* ParodySue: An all female pop group/spy team/superhero squad that fights evil with the PowerOfLove and is irresistible to the opposite sex (though their tragic abuse at the hands of their adopted father has left them scarred for life). They are the perfect musicians whose voices rival [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]], and whose guitar riffs have been known to cure cancer. Universally loathed by the music community at large.
* PartyInMyPocket: Cock rock, all their songs are full of double-(and single-)entendres.
* PaperFanOfDoom: Japanese pop/rock. Everything you never wanted to know about the [[JumpingTheShark shark-jumpingest]] new show's premise, in words you don't understand.
* {{Paperworkaholic}}: MundaneMadeAwesome rock songs about filing paperwork.
* ThePastorsQueerKid: Satirical Christian rock that sings about LGBT rights.
* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Parody band that covers DeathMetal songs but replaces the lyrics with mundane whinging about dinner parties and office work.

At one point, they released a cover of {{Music/Genesis|Band}}' Music/LandOfConfusion. Their stage shows involve them bringing out political and historical figures and battling them.
* The PeelingPotatoes: Unpopular kids band.
* Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs: A ProgressiveRock group famous for their literal lyrics.
* PetBabyWildAnimal: The songs are sung from the perspective of someone who tries to be psycho but is too friendly and cute.
* ThePeterPrinciple: A four-piece indie rock group, [[NonindicativeName not one of whom is named Peter]]. Described as the private-sector equivalent of Obstructive Bureaucrat, in that they are Midwestern and play indie rock and tend to dress in businesswear, but met instead while at internship at General Motors headquarters in Detroit. Despite the name, not one of their songs has anything to do with the workplace more than generically (e.g. "In Love With the Boss").
* PhoneTraceRace: Techno-pop music. Fast-paced, with sounds mixed in of phones beeping and music videos set to high-stakes PoliceProcedural style scenes.
* ThePianoPlayer: One-man band that just plays generic royalty-free piano music.
* The {{Pious Monster}}s: Hardcore religious rock. The band members all wear white and gold uniforms, but their instruments are red and black.
* {{Planetville}}: A {{Zeerust}}-filled '60s pop band.
* The {{Plastic Bitch}}es: Meant as a parody of mainstream pop, but sometimes [[IndecisiveParody gets confused for the real deal]].
* PlayableEpilogue: The "VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}" half of ExtendedGameplay. Ever since ElvesVersusDwarves took them into a grudge match over the less-than-flattering ShoutOut in the Play Ep song ''OurOrcsAreDifferent'', the two groups have been bitter rivals.
* PlayboyHasADaughter: Band that puts on an incredibly family-unfriendly facade, but has songs explaining their HiddenDepths and that they [[IJustWantToBeLoved just want to be loved]].
* PlayedForLaughs: A band that only performs covers of other bands. And by perform we mean misplay and fill it with hilarious [[MondegreenGag mondegreens]]. Many bands stiuplate in their contracts not to let them use their songs as it [[HilariousInHindsight makes their songs hard to take seriously afterwards]].
* PokeThePoodle: Death metal, but the lyrics are about things like littering or illegal downloading.
* PoliceBrutality: A political punk band that sings from the persona of corrupt and abusive cops, [[JerkassWoobie while also singing about how tough being a cop is]] (but their songs about police brutality from the POV of the cops get them more gigs). Known for their breakout song "Right to Remain Violent". And to add SelfDeprecation into the band's ideology, every member, past and present, is a former or active-duty police officer.
* ThePoorlyChosenOne: A ProgressiveMetal group that starts off with the lights off and the fog-machine on, with the audio-clip "He has chosen… poorly" from ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' playing before the lights turn on the band immediately starts shredding. Their managers bet everything on them becoming a hit. They did not.
* PornStache: A coed 70s rock/disco/pop cover band: pure, sexy, and dirty fun!
* PovertyFood: Comedy band that ''tries'' to be FoodPorn, but describes the most disgusting-sound meals possible. Known for their albums ''ReducedToRatburgers'' (2013) and ''DogFoodDiet'' (2015). At the start of all their concerts, they have their fans shout out "IfItTastesBadItMustBeGoodForYou!"
* PowerBornOfMadness: A BlackMetal group known for their Lovecraft-inspired concept albums.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: TheNewTens electronic music, like Music/PorterRobinson. Heavy {{Musical Nod}}s to RobotBuddy songs connect the two, implying a deeper connection; fans theorize that RobotBuddy's protagonist has since been absorbed into their robot.

* ThePowerOfHate: An intense BlackMetal group that does everything it can to look brutal. Music/{{KISS}} make-up, screaming in the mic, "Hail Satan"s and all. WordOfGod says they're satirical.
* ThePowerOfLove: A cover band whose members dress like Huey Lewis circa 1985 and perform "The Power Of Love" exclusively.
* ThePowerOfRock: Loud rock, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin duh]]. One of the earliest "over-the-top" bands,and TropeCodifier for awesome. Inspired KillItWithFire and ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill.
** It's not a Rock 'n Roll band, it's ''the'' Rock 'n Roll band. All of their songs are about Rock, the influence it's had on the music industry, great rock and metal musicians of the past, and how Rock has changed the world. Only beaten by Music/TheBeatles in sheer popularity. There was once a a kid with cancer who, as his Make-A-Wish, asked if he could play a few riffs with this band. By the end of the first song, his cancer was cured and he had grown a beard. That's how awesome this band is.
* The PowerTrio: Glam-rock band with a singer/guitarist as the leader, a sarcastic, intellectual female pianist as the songwriter, and a drummer who just likes to hit things.

* PredatorsAreMean: The longer running EvilCounterpart to FurriesAreEasierToDraw. Death/ doom Metal, and wear SavageWolf costumes.
* PremiumCurrency: TheNewTwenties indie band that mocks the rise in {{freemium}} games. Tends to use lots of sparkle effects in their live shows. Their songs include "PlayEveryDay" and "BribingYourWayToVictory". A fan-favorite song of theirs is "MoneyDearBoy", which guest stars RealMoneyTrade.

* PullARabbitOutOfMyHat: A PowerMetal band that does the usual HighFantasy content associated with the genre, but the albums alternate between that and Jazzy, eccentric interludes, one concept album being about a magician’s rabbit accidentally being sent into a magical world due to a mishap. The following concept art has the Rabbit come back to the real world, transformed into a monster with the desire for revenge against the magician.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Incredibly heavy rock, with [[ChewingTheScenery extremely loud and emphasised singing.]]
* PuttingOnTheReich: Volk music. Accuse ThoseWackyNazis of selling out to the Jews with their heinous foreign "metal", introduced by communists to corrupt the patriotic music scene. However, off-stage the band-members are not interested in any politics and are anti-racism activists.
* PuttingThePalInPrincipal: A one-man band featuring the tap-dancing dean of a high school desperately trying to win the respect of his students.
