>hear some baby metal
>expect it to be terrible but it actually sounds okay
>cant buy into any of it

It's metal but it's just not very metal

It's more dumb idol shit than actual metal.

>instrumentals aren't actual babies

Pic related is the only good metal.

Though babymetal is unironically better than the edge gargling shit faggots call "music".

Triple J playing them on high rotation unironicaly.

We really are post-irony aren't we?

maybe not in japan, but elsewhere i would say yes. it's one of those "oh my god japan is so quirky" kind of stuff.

>taking metal more serious than a broadway show
clearly none of you understand the genre

and babymetal is manufactured to be a cash cow, still their shit is catchy and doing its job well.

I, by default, cant like any band who makes the people with the instruments take a backseat to the vocalists


At least pop music is mostly all synthesized and producers never expect to get too much publicity, but holy shit in they videos they dont even show the guitarist or drummer.

I dont think they have set people playing. And I'm pretty sure their live shit is pre recorded. They just hire out random good players and dress them in spook gook suits.

Apparently they now do have a touring band that play live. But yes originally the whole thing was staged.

I was exposed to it for the first time a few days ago

I like babymetal, much better than actual metal which is usually horrible
