      That association is made after you've listened to those bands and gotten used to how they sound while knowing what their name is though, generally. Korn comes to mind. If you heard Korn and never knew their name and someone gave you a list of names with Korn mixed in there, you'd never guess that was their name, but after you've associated it with them, then it totally makes sense to your brain.

    From Wikipedia: The band's name came from a crayon drawing made after an incident between Linton's younger brothers, Jim and Ed Linton, who fought frequently. Jim usually won, but Ed sought revenge by drawing a picture of Jim shoving the Earth into his mouth; the picture bore the caption "Jimmy eat world" so not from Jim Adkins.

      It's ok, Finn doesn't actually care about facts. Like his explanation of the LimpBizkit name.... His story was ok, but that frathouse activity is supposedly known as "The Blue Waffle". He just says anything to get more views. He told everyone that with a smile, knowing people would just think he's joking. It works for him.

    The Devil Wears Prada is named after the book that the movie is based off of. In fact they formed in a year before the movie came out, but broke out shortly after.
    I do agree with it being confusing. kind of like how some people probably think the band Avatar based their name off the james cameron movie, or Avatar the last airbender, but they started in sweden in 2001 years before the show (2005) and movie (2009), but only became known in roughly 2012

      Agreed, I think XIII has both songs that still hold up pretty well and songs that don't, Sun Doesn't Rise being one of the worse ones. For anyone new to Mushroomhead I recommend starting with either the XX album which was their major label debut and basically a greatest hits album containing remastered versions of tracks off their 3 self produced albums, or just start with self produced albums like Superbuick or M3. The band today in my opinion is nowhere near as good as it was in the early days with all the lineup changes over the years
