Yes.
I don't hate Babymetal because they're fake or commercial, and I absolutely do not hate them for their gender or nationality. I hate them because they sound insanely loving annoying.

I view them the same as the saccharine eurovisionesque power metal bands from Scandinavian countries that are just pop groups repackaged to appeal to people who aren't nerdy enough to hear about the esoteric indie bands but still want something slightly aggressive or heavy sounding, which is with apathy and silent derision as to not call more attention to them.

hey hope everyone has fun at MDF, I have quite a few friends attending. I would go but not that interested in this year's lineup. Plenty of great bands but most I've already seen or will get a chance to see in the near future without having to pay for a flight and a hotel.

Hell's Headbash should be tight, tho.

Yup. I'll probably be at Rams Head most of the night. Wearing a purple and white Windhand baseball tee, so I should be pretty easy to spot.

I have a guitar pick from Sam Totman from a DF show. They also had cup holders for their Coronas with straws in them on their mic stands.

That is my Dragonforce story.

Drummer from Skeletonwitch on Instagram posted a band called "Drude" who sounded amazing but I can't find gently caress all out there.

E: Hmm... Facebook says "Burn the Army"? I guess that was their old name.

If I really dig Huntress for the lyrics and vocal style, what are some other bands that may appeal?

Just discovered them and Eight of Swords is my loving jam right now.

Just buy one song and you have their entire catalog, because every track sounds exactly the same.

It's a good track, just no variety whatsoever. :v:

BabyMetal is way better than your favorite "lofi is still relevant" canadian oldies war metal band.

Also lol @ them being bad because they're "prepackaged". That doesn't mean anything. It's fine to dislike them but come on let's not be silly.

I disagree. There's a big difference between a band, as generic as it might be, made out of people who wanted to make music, and three interchangeable kids chosen by producers and pr people to sing songs written for them, while dancing a choreography made for them.

Edit. I don't have a problem with people enjoying the music, but calling it "metal" is ridiculous.
Additionally, the point was that dismissing criticism as racist or misogynist is ridiculous, when there are plenty of reasons to dislike them.
