The Offspring, The Beastie Boys, Van Halen w/DLR, and the B52s. Are there other bands that rock, but are often silly/goofy and funny? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There is a lot of hip hop that fits this idea of great music with wacky lyrics.

Megan thee stallion, cardi b, and the like sing some raunchy songs.

Bbno$, yung gravy, lil dicky, flynt flossy and the entire turquoise jeep records collection of artists are humor-forward

Then theres czarface which has made many albums all about comic book characters.

Since you’re going outside the Rock genre with hip-hop, I’ll double down.

Here’s The Gourds with a bluegrass take on Gin and Juice.

It’s a damn fine performance, but the funniest part was that back in the days of Napster & Limewire, everyone just assumed that it was Phish covering the song.

Okay, unironically have you heard of Gangstagrass? They did the theme for Justified, and I think they're based in Nashville, but they fuse bluegrass with hip-hop and goddamn does it sound amazing. It's like purely American I love it.

Ah, that’s a good call!

I’m a big fan of Justified & looked Ganstageass up back during the original run, but have failed to keep up with them. Will have to catch up!

There’s also “SlamGrass” out there as a genre. I’ve only had the chance to see O’ Death, but I really dig their tune, “Only Daughter”.

Gangstagrass is very underrated.
