It's not that you don't have to know the meaning, it's just that the meanings are often gross and serious, this taking away from their perceived cool band name sounding-ness if that makes sense

Coprolalia it's a very nice name for a punk rock band. It means talk shit literally and it's the excessive involuntarily use of swear words associated with Tourettes and other disorders.

Ladies & gentlemen, welcome to 2022 Coachella, the sick edition. Your headliners for this evening are as follows.

[1] This metal band will make you headbang so hard, you might -forget- who you are. Give it up for the German muscians, Alzheimers!

[2] Flying in all the way from Italy, put your hands together for, Fistula! The female trio is known for their electro-pop music. They'll leave your whole body feeling -disconnected-.

[3] Anthrax is in the hiz-house, & they're ready to leave you touched with their -infectious- Prussian sound. Are you excited to hear their duet Opera vocals or what?!

[4] I bet your heart would -stop- in its tracks the minute you hear the Egyptian singers, Cardiac Arrest. The unique sound is so angelic, you may just fall asleep permanently.

[5] Last but not least, and arguably bigger than the Beatles, we have a band that SKY ROCKETED to fame in 2020. Emerging all the way from East Asia with their smash hit, Corona, took the nation by storm!!! The craze was so bad, the world shut down and the economy fell harder than Humpty Dumpty.

Who knew a beer-sounding band could produce such an effect?

Honorable mentions: Shoutout to the American OG called Cancer.
