Back in 1934 when oysters were first cultured, they would smash the pearls and mix it with moonshine and use it to paint china plates and other small decoratives.

It's also a slang reference to cum.

Pearl (cum being pearly white)
Jam (jelly, preserves, thick sticky shit)


I never made that connection until my dad actually used the term pearl jam in reference to cum.
I asked him if he listened to the band, and he said he never heard of them. Pearl jam was just a slang term for cum when he was a teen.

Yeah I thought that too, but it was a bit obvious, so I made up some bull**** instead

Hehe. Who knows.
But for a band to name themselves after a slang term for man juice, you'd think their music would sound much different than it does.

Look up some names of noise bands.
Enough said.
