Some random person followed me on Twitter this afternoon. She has 12,000 followers, but when you look at their names, you can tell they're mostly bots, with names formed in a game of Twitter Mad Libs.
But, oddly, most sound like they could be band names for specific niches. Below, a partial list, followed by suggested genre:
criticize_lymph: Shoegaze.
vacuum_afterglo: New age.
ideal_corpuscl: Heavy metal cover band from Eastern Europe.
Indian_bamboozl: Fake world music.
liver_looter: Bar band.
reject_blouse: Riot grrrrl.
conclusion_clam: High school garage band.
breath_garbolog: EDM.
baby_coincident: Wiggles-esque kids' music
cream_plectrums: Prog.
sun_sidesaddles: '60s pop revivalists.
lung_lobbed: Pop-punk.
global_carousel: Wedding band.
promote_colds: Weekend band formed by pharmaceutical sales reps.
helpful_napalmi: Death metal.
chronic_pulveri: More death metal.
danger_airlifts: Barber shop quartet that performs death metal on Air Force bases.
No, I still have not resumed blogging. This is a figment of your imagination.

I could not have imagined this. It is too far outside my realm of possibilities. Also, global_carosel is totally a hipster band, ukelele and ironic lyrics available as a free download from Starbucks.
Liver Looter. That's one to love.
Unfortunately, the comments prove you still have a following. So get with it! Not all of us have our noses glued to Facebook and Twitter.
I like Vacuum Afterglo, but it should be "Afterglow." Sounds a bit like a band after Hawkwind and Van der Graaf Generator.
