I don't know how to even pronounce this. Why is there a period in the middle of their name?

You just take a pause. Like you do anytime you encounter a period while reading.

Periods don't just come after one word and then have a couple words after them. It's just like wtf why is it like this

Because. It is.

it's not supposed to be grammatically correct, it's just for effect.

it does come across as a stupid name because I have no idea about any context, if there is any at all.

I also remember them getting a lot of hype here back in the day but I never heard them until their latest two singles, where I realized they're just a pop band with light rock elements o_0

Right it's like some kind of inside joke that I don't get.

At least with Panic! At the Disco it kinda makes sense to yell PANIC! wheras with this you go ...PORTUGAL. FULL STOP.

The band's name is based on the idea of David Bowie's "bigger than life" fame. They wanted the band to have a bigger-than-life feel but did not want to name it after one of their members. "A country is a group of people," guitar player and vocalist John Gourley explains. "With Portugal, it just ended up being the first country that came to mind. The band's name is 'Portugal'. The period is stating that, and 'The Man' states that it's just one person." The name has more personal meaning as well: Portugal. The Man was going to be the name of a book that Gourley had planned to write about his father and his many adventures.

that's what triggers me, they used to be an experimental rock band and now they're just pop

still better than most of whats on the radio, and they kill it live, but their old stuff was so much better
