Acronyms! Who doesn't love acronyms?!
So, what does BBFOB stand for? Bands Born From Other Bands!
Perhaps one of the more famous examples is in 1980, with the untimely passing of Ian Curtis - the remaining members of Joy Division were determined to carry on. But rather than just continuing on as Joy Division, they relaunched as New Order and went on to international stardom.
Other times, bands break up for lesser reasons: lack of mainstream success, interpersonal conflicts, drug abuse, or the most frequently cited "creative differences".
When Zack de la Rocha was no longer in alignment with the rest of Rage Against the Machine, the other 3 guys chose to stay together, get a lead singer from another hugely popular act in Chris Cornell and form Audioslave.
Plus, there are a couple of guys who co-founded not just one, but two of the legendary bands in the punk/hardcore scenes. Pretty cool stuff.
Disclaimer - the first 20 minutes or so is about my experience with the terribly tragic wildfires in Maui and how they hit too close to home, despite being thousands of miles away.
