Where did the following bands get their names from?

So we all have a band that we love. Some of us even go on to form one ourselves. And of course choosing the right name is very important. But then every once in a while you gotta wonder where did these bands get that name. So I've put together a list of bands with peculiar names and I was wondering how they got that name. Those bands are

1. Evanescence
2. Pierce The Veil
3. Paramore
4. Blink 182
5. Sum 41
6. Fountains Of Wayne
7. Ocean Avenue
8. Husker Du
9. AC/DC
10. INXS

[AI Opinion]

I'll share some origins of these band names:

Evanescence chose their name for its meaning, "to disappear," which matched their ethereal sound. Pierce The Veil's name comes from a phrase in a book about traumatic experiences and overcoming them. Paramore's name was adapted from the maiden name of a member's mother. Blink-182 added "182" randomly to avoid a legal issue with a similarly named band. Sum 41 chose their name because they formed 41 days into the summer. Fountains Of Wayne was named after a lawn ornament store in New Jersey. Ocean Avenue is actually an album by Yellowcard, inspired by a street in Jacksonville, Florida. Hüsker Dü means "Do you remember?" in Danish, which hints at their nostalgic punk rock music. AC/DC saw the initials on a sewing machine, representing their electrifying music. INXS was inspired by the phrase "in excess," referring to their indulgent lifestyle. 🎸

Sorry I keep forgetting that Ocean Avenue's the name of a song by the band and not the name of the actual band

4 of them I never heard of before.
I'm pretty sure evanescence is an actual word. A dictionary would help here.
From what I recall, Husker Du was a board game about 50 years ago.
The last two are pretty obvious.
AC/DC = alternating current / direct current
INXS = In Excess
The other two I've heard of, your guess is as good as mine.

Use google to see if there’s been an interview about it

[WestfieldHyperdome]

Sure. If you wanna do it the lazy way

Motherfucker, asking randos on the internet instead of bothering to research it yourself IS the “lazy way” fuck off
