Animal Collective is an experimental indie pop band beloved for its intricate arrangements, ornate vocal harmonies, and abstract lyrics. Anal Cunt was was a grindcore band that lived up to its name by making aggressive, outrageous, and offensive music. The two groups couldn’t be more different, and yet right now Google is confusing one for the other.
As Twitter user jetskitosway was the first to point out, a search for “Animal Collective” on Google currently results in Anal Cunt’s name being displayed alongside photographs of Animal Collective. What’s more, Google is attributing Animal Collective’s numerous albums to Anal Cunt.
Beyond the two bands sharing the same initials, there’s no obvious answer for why Google is confusing the two bands. It’s nonetheless hilarious, so thanks for the laugh Google.
