our band name

it all started with Generation-X, where Nicholas Tse made centre-parted long hair and schoolboy fistfights look cool.

then we moved into Generation-Y, which categorised people like me and whom i rmb the govt quoted to be the new breed of 'thinking' people, who will drive the nation into a new era with our burning curiosity and fearless demand for a constant betterment of our society at large.

then came the Millenium age, which saw the boom of dragon babies and fresh new ideals being introduced. coincidentally, it was also the age when Wang lee hom aptly sang 'long de chuan ren'

then the world finally recognised the importance of me.
Triumph dedicated a range of lingerie to my name - the Maximisers.
Starhub named their broadband internet service after me - MaxOnline.
i was popular for awhile.

then came the age of the rockstars, better known as the I-generation, thanks to Apple's clever marketing brain, who had ingeniously singled out the one important identifying characteristic of that age - the need of people to feel unique and important.
and because of Apple's success in it's i-pdt branding, it also became jaded when too many companies tried to imitate them by coming up with names that are too corny to even mention.
the good thing is, Apple never lost its place as the creator of the i-generation.

then OSIM decided to take on a new approach, after tapping on Apple's i-pdt branding success with their own i-symphony and i-gallop etc., they launched their first U-Zap.
like wow.
what next?
we-grind?

but recently, Singapore Post finally broke the copycat trend and took on a new angle in creative pdt branding - characterisation.
they named their new loan scheme: James.
i groaned.
why not Max?
but nevertheless, applause must be given to their innovative idea and interesting ads.

from the look of things, pdt branding is spiralling uncontrollably towards personalisation.

so, i propose that we give our band a name that is creative with a healthy dose of individuality: 8-inches.

what do you guys think?
