>>74328229
I wish I could remember where I first read this, but the official pronounciation is "chk chk chk". I also see it written out like that by the store clerks when I come across one of their albums at most music shops I've been to.

>>74328447
She says it rhymes with "jerk"

This is true. I worked in a records store when their first album came out. Promotional literature instructed us to pronounce it as "Chk chk chk".

I don't understand the logic behind this. /mu/ stands for music. You don't say moosic, do you?
>>
>>74337299
I say it like that because reading the two letters MU comes naturally as moo, since my native language would pronounce them this way.
I know it's not correct.

Not really the name of an artist, but the name of their songs.

Amnesia Scanner name all their songs with AS in the beginning, like "AS Gardens Need Walls", "AS Chingy", etc.

Is it pronounced "ay-ess" or just "as" like in "fresh as fuck"?

Exactly.
Much like with the gif/jif debate.
It's obviously pronounced jif because it's a new word that has no eason to be pronounced according to the words it's made from.

Like with "Lol", which comes from "Laughing out loud" is never pronounced "lahl" just because it comes from a word that sounds like "aut".
