Reading comments on anything related to Babymetal always bring a slime to my face

The frontwoman's sidekicks will probably be in college before the purists quit bellyaching about these kids, huh. I look at things this way: despite the successes of X, Aion, Loudness, etc., metal's still a commercially-fringe genre in Japan. By targeting the staple J-idol demographics of "otakus" (geeky male 20/30-somethings) and preteen girls, Babymetal are helping take metal to audiences who wouldn't otherwise be exposed to the genre. Granted, for most it'll be a novelty, but for some, it'll have them hooked for life. In the long term, these girls are going to be better for J-metal than Marty Friedman could ever dream of being.

Eh, they have an original sound and they pull it off rather well. Is it gimmicky? For certain, but they could have easily done a lot worse with the same gimmicks. Honestly I just like them because they're having simple fun. This isn't some "ending of metal as we know it" nor is it some "revolutionary band to change the way we view music". It's just a fun, quirky little act that everyone but theirselves blows over the edge on both sides of the coin. If they're going big, then good on them.

Written by PocketMetal on 13.04.2015 at 20:33 I'm not sure if it's as much teenagers as their target audience, as it is metal for man-children. Many of my non-metalhead weeabo friends seem to enjoy them. Yet, I have to admit "Gimme Chocolate" is catchy as fuck.

Written by Introspekrieg on 25.04.2015 at 01:44 agree. lumped it with Dragonforce "Through Fire And Flames" as a guilty occasional pleasure in a style i never listen to.
