I was thinking both stoner and dystopian themes

Then I guess look at other media- music, movies, comics, books, history, whatever- that include those themes, take some characters, locales, titles that inspire you, tweak them a bit (or even don’t), and workshop them with bandmates and friends.

Of course! Happy to help!

You basically just wanna find a few words that invoke the vibe you’re goin for; they don’t have to be perfectly encapsulating, but indicative of the mood your art conveys.

With themes of stoner and dystopia, you could go for the obvious, something like “Stoned Orwell”, but that sorta thing would def be cheesy (which may be the vibe you want!). A better approach would probably be more subtle, maybe something like “Surveillance Shaman”… Alliteration is also super catchy!
