Maybe, but it would be hard to pivot at this point. There's other things that would be a way better use of dev time.

musician

Who?

We could retcon it as named after the koopaling.

As much as I love Motorhead, it's not a great name.

I have long contended there is no good band name. All are terrible.

I think the political culture is holding it back more than the name. People poke their heads in and see an environment that is far more left than they’re used to so they head back to Reddit. It can be a shock to see all the moe/loli and communist stuff when they aren’t used to it.

Yeah but Lemmy is dead. Also a lost oppurtunity for the metal community to not just go by Kilmister. could flipped it to be Mr. Kill
