STOLEN BAND NAME! edit
They stole their name from a boston metal band from the 80s. Even their logo for a minute. Any quick google search will show you the real WARGASM 2601:192:8880:50A0:ECEE:9045:453:A013 (talk) 23:53, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Copied from their bandcamp page at [1]https://wargasmboston.bandcamp.com/
- WARGASM was a 3-piece Metal band, active from 1985 - 1995. The band released several demos, three albums, one E.P., one concert DVD, and toured Europe several times.
- Wargasm are considered a Thrash Metal band, and their debut album 'Why Play Around?' is widely viewed by as a classic of the genre.
- Wargasm are in the process of re-issuing their catalog for digital download and on CD & LP.
- They can also be found on Facebook at [2]https://www.facebook.com/WARGASMwpa 24.56.7.116 (talk) 03:29, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Two bands coming up with the same name is no proof of theft. This is just an empty accusation and so why should it be made part of the article? Nikolai508 (talk) 21:10, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- The earliest uses of the word in print I can find are referencing a practice by the Weather Underground organization in 1969. The word is not unique, and bands from different countries have the same name all the time.
- The only thing I could think would be relevant to this is that US releases of this Wargasm's work use the name Wargasm (UK). Might be worth a mention if someone has a good source to reference it. Radioswede (talk) 18:35, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

They're clearly a digital hardcore band, but this section just waffles on about all the genre's they don't quite fit. 82.15.221.92 (talk) 18:36, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- I agree they play digital hardcore but on Wikipedia we need WP:RELIABLESOURCES to backup the info. I've yet to find one which calls them it, and I've searched extensively. Issan Sumisu (talk) 19:45, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
