No, The Hex Girls are not a real band. They are a fictional gothic rock band created for Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost. The band was first introduced in the 1999 movie as a suspect in the mystery happening in Oakhaven, Massachusetts.

The original members of the band were portrayed by Jennifer Hale (as Sally "Thorn" McKnight), Jane Wiedlin (as Dusk), and Kimberly Brooks (as Luna).

Because of how the girls were designed, they were quickly seen as power icons for queer and goth kids. The kids who thought of themselves as "weirdos" also felt a connection to the band.

So even though they were simply intended to be a red herring in the film, they became a fan favorite. This prompted the creators to include them whenever they could.
