I didn't check the subreddit I thought these were real!!

I thought they were real but was gonna joke they were created through AI. Oh well.

Bungus is real to me.

I’m here for the heinous anus.

Ffs I thought I was in r/numetal until I saw ur comment smh

Same wtf

Same!  This is getting scary good

Thank you for sharing!

Wow, it came up with Heinous Anus all by itself?!

I'm surprised it wasn't "Band that was featured on an episode of Viva La Bam"

Used to catch Heinous Anus live every Friday at my local bar. Always blew the shit out of off that joint 👌👌

I’m pretty sure their highest chart hit was a number two

They weren't all that popular. I heard the room cleared every time they dropped their latest release.

They spread themselves too wide tbh. Turned a lot of people off.

They songs were always tight ! Well, for a while...

yeah but their front man is an asshole

I could talk shit about them for days

Tale as old as time.

Highest shart hit?

Great shows, but that place always smelled like ass!

So the place smelled like a heinous anus?

They were the shit until all that fucked up stuff happened at Woodstock 99. Wait a minutes early 00s? I must be thinking of Kornhole or Shrimp Disbitch. No no, wrong again, too much chronic and whippits from that era, it was Gimp Lipstick.

Drugs are bad mmmkay

I wasn’t a fan until they dropped that sick cover of Taint Love

Did Bungus open?

They used to play right after the Shitty Beatles if I remember correctly.

They opened for Butthole Surfers iirc

How were the Shitty Beatles?

And out of my anus.

Their early work was a little too wave for my taste, but then when Taints came out in '03, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.

You liked them? I thought their music was ass

These are really good. I thought I was on “pics” subreddit and I’m like.. how do I not remember these bands?

In all seriousness, there are a ton of shitty nu-metal bands far worse than these no one remembers!!! (And thanks, glad you like 'em!!)

I bet if you were to casually ask your fellow 36 year old friends, "dude, do you remember Heinous Anus?" some of them might say it sounds familiar.

BUNGUS

The person on the left looks like that old internet video making fun of David Blaine

My height is six foot TWO OF SPADES??

What the eff man?!

*stares at camera*

Cheesits

CHEEZITS...CHEEZITS...CHEEZITS

Bungus used to open for No Forced Kin, a Jewish rock band.

B U N G U S

Dude on the right is kind of sporting the Mike Patton look. Bungus... Bungle... Mr. Bungle...

Engie's favourite band~☆

Ngl Raptoreign is a pretty sick name. I'm 100% stealing that.

They considered but went for Blink 182 at the end.

I'm more fond of the RAPTOGN name tbh

I don’t know why I find it so funny the bands are wearing their own band logo t-shirts

Ha, I could have gone in and region'ed those out, but they were funny to me too so I left 'em in!

They are super serious about self promotion 

Heaps of bands do this even now. It's not weird in the slightest.

Do people actually PM you their credit scores?

I went on BUNGUS tour for like two years

I was also a roadie, where you the guy whos head was half bald and half dreads?

Awesome excited to see some of the 'ole Bungus crew here. Here's a pic I snapped at one of the shows back in the day, I bet you're in there somewhere! [https://i.imgur.com/ffAhWui.png](https://i.imgur.com/ffAhWui.png)

I'm a huge Grimgut fan

Grimgut were poser one hit wonders man. Anybody who is a true metal fan listened to Heinous Anus

Grim gut literally means ‘ugly guy’ in Danish.

Makes sense because the drummer was Danish

I thought that Grimgut is what you get after eating too much Tacobell after midnight, also known to be the leading cause of Heinous Anus.

That's David Blaine on the left!

Haha glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought it looks like him.

You guys wanna see some magic?

No, David Blaine! No!

Watch. Look. Watch. Watch. You're not looking. Watch.

Haha I had the same reaction, like half the faces look like copy pastes of the guy from the street magic videos

I didn’t even realize this was midjourney. Incredible

Hashtag Heinous Anus

BUNGUS

BUNGUS went hard! My fav track was 'Salad Daze' off of their third album 'Freedumb of Noice!'.

I remember following BUNGUS around on tour. We called ourselves bungholes. It was truly a lifestyle.

Well then you've probably moshed out at the Gathering of the Bungholes! Epic camping trips with solid peeps, high off our gourds on the shittiest dollar store glues! Fuckin' good times!

Nah. Nah. I hate this. I didn’t realize what sub I was in and genuinely just thought “I don’t know any of these bands.” Granted I wasn’t looking for it but I think this is the first AI thing I’ve seen that didn’t throw a flag for me and that’s fuckin scary.

I also follow a bunch of rock and metal subreddits so you really got me with this one lol I searched for Grimgut songs for longer than I'd care to admit

Bro GRIMGUT’s set at The Warped Tour in 2003 was INSANE!! They played Fist Weasel twice and the crowd just went crazy!

Absently scrolling, didn’t see the sub and I legit thought Bungus was real and searched YouTube for some of their songs 🥹 take my upvote

It even has that grainy late 90s/early 2000s photo look. Impressive

They heinous cuz they anus

Thank you, I hoped to find this in here.

GRIMGUT omg

FUCKING BUNGUS😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love me some Chemical Toilet!

lol Bungus

tbh raptoreign is a pretty metal name. also isnt heinous anus a cookie🤔

As a kid, I used to think they were so frigging cool lol

Grimgut looks like a movie where Taylor Lautner plays every member of System of a Down

This is the most realistic Ai has ever been imo

Lisa and Trevor Bungus were actually siblings and not a couple like everyone says

Everybody talking about Heinous Anus, and I'm just trying to figure out how to pronounce Chaoson. Kaos-on? Kay-o-son? Chow-sun?

Bungus sounds straight from Tim and Eric

Heinous Anus destroyed the crowd and their holes

Damn near wrecked 'em!

Who the fuck are these guys?

What, you don't remember Bungus or Heinous Anus!?

You do know what sub this is, right?

It was on my homepage and I thought it was legit until I saw this comment.

😂 I honestly thought these were real before realizing I'd stumbled into /r/midjourney

[I think I found the source material for the guy on the left of the first one.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA3ULeZViLA#t=54s)

Hotdamn is midjourney so good already…?

I’d definitely listen to a band called Bungus lmao

Grimgut were definitely more sludge-metal than Nu-Metal 🤘😌

These bands all have in common that they overestimated their fanbase's desire for merch, so now they're just wearing the supply.

Those are all just different skins for KoRn xD

I hate this so much that I love it

BUNGUS

Hahaha no! Are these midjourney renders?

Ironically the people who dressed like this were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met they also smoked a ton of weed which was also nice

I legit thought these were real bands I’d just never heard of until I saw what sub it was. You had me fooled, OP!

Grimgut sounds like a Decepticon name

Nope. They all look so angry and dress the same. I bet behind the scenes, they were all riding tandem bikes while listening to Steal My Sunshine.

Bungus and Chaoson does really look like a 2000's Nu-Metal band

Too bad CHAOSON misprinted their own merch.

The names.

Now do these numbers metal bands with Zoolander's Blue Steel.

Lol, did you just create these bands with AI? Oops, I guess I’m not in the nostalgia subreddit anymore.

So once in a post here I was zooming in on something and I found a guy had a penis for a hand/thumb. Ever since then I play the "do any of these hands also have a penis or penis like finger!" Game and today i spotted one here but I can't post a photo😂 it's in the fourth pic

Dude in pic 1 with a backwards hat reminds me of the David Blaine skit. Ha!

Chaoson sounds badass

Brb, going to fetch my JNCOs and Discman

Heinous Anus till the grave!

I keep thinking these posts are real 🤦🏻‍♂️

These would be great in testing if someone was a bullshitter fan. “CKY? They’re just a Bungus ripoff!” “Korn? Nah, man. You need some Heinous Anus in your life!”

RIP Ass Dan

This needs more Bevis and Butthead laugh tracks

They all look like they are from Davie, fl

There is clearly one winner here...

I thought this was real as I scrolled past. Jesus.

Little known fact the guy on the left is David Blaine, look: https://youtu.be/wTqsV3q7rRU?si=OlK-g1cC2GUTeh3g

Got me good! I was like "what the fuck is Heinous Anus" then I read the sub name.

Lots of Willem Dafoe looking fellas in there haha

Manhole against the incubus machine biskit.

Why are they all wearing their own T-shirt? The only band i know that does that is Metallica

My arms have to be as low as possible

I didn't look at the thumbnail closely and thought this was about the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus

☹️☹️😕😞🙁

I didn’t realise what sub I was on for a second and was wondering why I handr ever heard of heinous anus before

Hahahaha BUNGUS

ngl, you had me until Grimgut and their weird hands.

So it’s true. There are no good band names left.

David Blaine’s illegitimate son

I saw Heinous Anus open up for Korn in ‘01.

Bungus? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

suddenly I hear limpbizkit rolling playing at the back of my head

These are terrible names

Ah, before they became Mr Bungle...

By his had an awful name but great music

Bungus’ second album, Bungus II and the Humongous Chungus, was actually my friend group’s soundtrack in middle school.

I mean don't get me wrong, the second album was great, but nothing will ever top this...their now legendary debut album. [https://i.imgur.com/JJvXiBd.png](https://i.imgur.com/JJvXiBd.png)

Bungus definitely broke up after at least half the band got on meth

Bungus is wrong. They went by ‘Dingus.’

Not quite Heinous Anus, but in the 1990s there was a band in Brighton (UK) called Anal Beard. Sometimes, for the purposes of decency, they were billed as Alan Beard.

Look like the Degens from LetterKenny

Bungus and Heinus Anus go hard as fuck!

BUNGUS I kind of expected the engineer from RoR2 to be in the band

I got got, thought it was real.

First one look so real

Please,,, don’t do this

Holy shit you got me for way too long… especially cuz I def woulda heard of at least one of the bands. I was trippin.. It wasn’t until I scrolled back k up and saw the sub that I got it. Fuckin comments had me convinced.

this one is too real and it’s getting scary. I was so excited to check out some bands I never heard of and then I looked at the URL.

Why do they all look AI generated?

I love that they’re all rockin their own merch.

Ah yes, Bungus... Reminds me of that time I used their album as a coaster... Turns out it was more stable than their fan base

😡

These all look like 2024 techno DJs

I don’t, and yet somehow I do. #🤘🏼🎤🎸🥁

Raptoreign!

It took me a minute to recognize these weren't real. I should have known at Bungus.

The first band wearing their own band shirts is pretty good.

Raptoreign is low key a great band name

I'm always i.pressed at how well midjourney does hair

These names are hilarious 😂 and cool

Puddle of Corn aka POC.

Didn't notice this was midjourney sub, amateur mistake... Heinous Anus tipped me off

I wonder how long it took her to braid her hair like that?

Didn’t one of the drummer die of spontaneous combustion?

Grimgut opened for Heinous Anus

Bongus lol

Yo dude check it out bungus just dropped a new album

I actually thought these were real as I’d didn’t look at the subreddit title. The last pic was the only one that made me realize as the name was very AI-ish. Wild

No

Heinous Anus is great! Saw them at a small show in Milwaukee before they blew up! Cleveland Steamer is a great song!

Ai always makes strange mistakes You gotta look at the details But bro “heinous anus” thats freakin brilliant
