      I see “Acne Studs” which makes even less sense but is more funny.

      Edit: I searched “Acne stud” and it’s apparently a clothing brand named “Acne Studios”. Out of all names to choose… They’re from the same country as me too, Sweden, which is a funny coincidence.

        these kinds of companies drive me up the wall, like “Smeg” or the fucking food company unironically called “soylent”
        i’m sure it’s a marketing tactic but good lord i wouldn’t touch it even if i got it for free, i am NOT using a food processor with SMEG on it

          Nope, it means the same which is why I’m just as confused over the name as I was before learning where it’s from.

            Maybe the creator was making fun of their acne that they used to hide with a lot of clothing when they were younger?🤷🏿‍♂️

            Odd choice but to each their own.
