where does the name depeche mode come from
Depeche Mode When explaining the choice for the new name, taken from French fashion magazine Dépêche mode,[17] Gore said, "It means hurried fashion or fashion dispatch. I like the sound of that."[18] However, the magazine's name (and hence the band's) is "Fashion News" or "Fashion Update"[19] (dépêche, "dispatch," from Old French despesche/despeche or "news report," and mode or "fashion").
Polka dot It is likely that the term originated in popularity of polka dance at the time the pattern became fashionable, just as many other products and fashions of the era also adopted the "polka" name.[1]
Arcade Fire When asked about the rumour that the band's name refers to a fire in an arcade, Win Butler replied: "It's not a rumour, it's based on a story that someone told me. It's not an actual event, but one that I took to be real. I would say that it's probably something that the kid made up, but at the time I believed him."[16]
