The result of the proposal was CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) → Cansei de Ser Sexy — According to Wikipedia Naming Conventions on music, band and album names, it seems the page should be moved. Unfortunately, there's already a Cansei de Ser Sexy page redirecting to their album — Talk:CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy) — Rudá 18:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Cansei de Ser Sexy → CSS (band) — "CSS" is the band's actual name: it is referred to as such by their label's site
[1] and their own site
[2]. Their album, on the other hand, is actually called "Cansei de Ser Sexy".

Why hasn't this happened yet. Sdalmonte is completely right. I do not like changing these things because I fear I will screw something up big time. Otherwise their name is CSS. We don't go around calling KMFDM, "Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid" do we? We don't go around calling ABBA, "Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Anderson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad." do we? This could go on, for example REM, OAR, WASP, OMB, KLF, etc. I am positive their are at least thousands more examples like this since the creation of music and inception of acronyms. To further solidify my point, if you download their song from their website, it downloads as "CSS". In conlusion they are not just "better known as CSS." They are CSS, and should be changed. —Preceding

Given this article has already been through the WP:RM process I'm not willing to unilaterally move it, so I've listed this proposal at WP:RM. The proposal makes sense: the official site refers to them as CSS, the majority of the reviews I have seen (e.g. [3] [4] [5] also call the band CSS. Icalanise ( talk) 18:56, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
Isn't it "I tired..." or "I got tired..." rather than "I am tired..."? I'm pretty sure that would be "Estou Cansada de Ser Sexy" A Geek Tragedy 16:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
"Cansei de ser sexy" literally means "I got tired of being sexy". The frequently proposed translation of "Cansei de ser Sexy" as simply "tired of being sexy" is not bad but it's absolutelly not LITERAL. The LITERAL Portuguese version for "tired of being sexy" is either "cansado de ser sexy" (masculine speaker) or "cansada de ser sexy" (feminine speaker). "Cansei" is a conjugated verbal form in the past tense exclusively for the first person - singular only. In that language the verb itself carries the tense particle and the person in it, unlike the English verbs which need more contextualizing elements. So a word out of context like "eat" could be present ("I eat an apple"), past (I didn't eat the apple), singular, plural ("we eat the apples"), and refer to every person expect for he/she/it ("he eats"). So it's a very diffent grammatical context. However, the "tired of being sexy" translation is very good and could be kept if the "literally" remark was excluded.

Why does the cover to Cansei de Ser Sexy have a stylized C with fangs and something visually similar to Schutzstaffel runes? Difference between using one shock symbol a la Bowie or Manson, and imitating the SS. - MSTCrow 23:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Reading I bit too much into it there i think, regardless it is irrelevant as wikipedia has no control over the cover design Mbthegreat 23:01, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, it is similar to the runes, though SS's letters have flat edges, and CSS's are lightnings. But so what? There simply is no other similarity, and even more importantly, no background stupid nazi ideas in the lyrics.

"as I strongly doubt they know so much about Nazi germany and its symbols." Do you think people in Brazil don't have History lessons? Geez. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.68.2 ( talk) 12:45, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
I swear if i see this LGBT tag on another discussion page i will scream. WHat on earth do css have to do with lgbt issues i cant find any evidence they're lgbt and if they are then please mention it in the article.
LGBT wikiproject gives us gays a bad name, gives the impression we're trying to claim everything as our own placing our stupid tag on every other page lol. Aveit2007 09:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Put Albums and EPs in their own category or change the name to releases. You do it.
In the Trivia section it stated:
The song "Off The Hook" is a cover of a little-known song by former UK Big Brother contestant Maxwell Ward.
I think this statement is nonsense and couldnt find a source, if anyone can then put it back in.
Cansei de Ser Sexy (lit. "Got tired of being sexy" in Portuguese), also known as CSS, is an ultra-hyped Brazilian band from São Paulo. The bit in bold was added by an IP - is that vandalism etc? seven+one 22:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I removed the following trivia from this article:
The first two have been moved to the album pages, where I think they are more relevant as they have to do with songs. the last one is very, very trivial and of very little use and has no citation. If you think this information is necessary in this article, please assimilate them into the article text. The first two can be applied to the album pages (EP's, Singles) where the songs appear. Sorchah 04:58, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
we need some "single" articles written for these two. I fixed the links to these songs in this article to direct to the album for the meantime... -- travisthurston + 22:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I guess the Alcohol page was created not too long ago, I just created the one for Music Is My Hot Hot Sex the other day.

I removed the from the music genre box the genres Alternative Rock, Dance-Punk and Post-Punk revival. Just because they don't play these styles of music. Everyone knows that they are an Indie Rock/Electroclash/Synthpop/New Rave band! I don't know about there, but here in Brazil CSS is considered a New Rave band, too!
So, stop editting it, because there's no reason.
Like New Rave makes any sense. I know they're considered New Rave, but they just aren't. They sound so different from that genre. And, just so you know: Indie Rock is a subgenre of Alternative Rock, and how a band like this can't be Dance Punk I don't know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.65.136.117 ( talk) 10:51, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
