you should *pop* a bullet in your brain friendo

but why

Theyre a gimmick, they even said themselves that they only care about the money.

Grow the fuck up and listen to actual music.

what is actual music?
> inb4 ed sheeran

Metal that isnt a marketing gimmick targeting 12 year olds

Taylor Swift
You gotta shake it off

care to post some examples?

Like what?

Ed Sheeran is a God fuck off

they aren't targeting 12 year olds they're targeting 40 year old men

Do you seriously want someone to spoonfeed you music that isnt babymetal trash?

LOL goddamn.

i mean if babymetal is so terrible, yeah, id love to hear music that isnt terrible

>I'm afraid to reveal my taste

if this was reddit id give you an upvote

yo though
selena is bae and not metal

Ive spent the last 20 years accumulating knowledge in the genre, Im not interested in holding children's hands and spoonfeeding them music when they're online defending gimmicks.

Besides, now that Ive trashed your most prized "band", anything I post will be met with "AHURRR AHURR THATS GAY KEK LEL :^)". You fags arent serious about the genre, which is why you listen to babymetal.

Babymetal is pop, but it's good, not as safe and boring as regular pop.
It's better than other good pop music too, because the members are qt Japanese girls.

I don't even like them that much, I like a handful of songs.
Everything you say sounds like "I'm afraid of being made fun of"
>y-you're just a pleb, you wouldn't understand
>you don't deserve my epic taste in music
>music is serious business

then please, share your 20 years music. I love metal as well, and I sincerely doubt I will argue against any band you recommend.

>that much,
>I like a handful of songs.
Youre not supposed to like them at all.

what is this fucking Sup Forums?

Nobody cares about your feelings. I feel like people like you should be hung, but here you are.

>Sup Forums
Those fags have shit taste as well.

>not supposed to
What are you my fucking mom?

>accumulating knowledge
M'lady

This is 9gag now

Well, you listen to babymetal, so I'm assuming youre 12.

Lemme guess, youre also a hardcore metalocalypse fan too, huh?

never seen an episode in my life
>12
You really don't understand the target group for cute girls.

Anything sung by these 3 is an audio version of kiddie porn unless it's a video too in which case I MUST have it.

>never seen an episode in my life
Dont lie, thats exactly what a fan of the show would say if he were avoiding more embarrassment for consuming babymetal as a legitimate band

Muh nigguh

Just remember Babymetal are created and marketed by the same type of people that got Justin Bieber to where he is now. It's manufactured music, and any true metal heads will realise this.

Also, for the guy saying Ed Sheehan isn't real music, look at what he does. He's conquered the charts with an acoustic guitar and a loop pedal ffs and he's not changed to suit tastes. The bloke deserves his place.

my argument is as a metalhead. a friend interested in metal recommended them to me, however, the more i listen, the more i feel as if they are a pop band that plays guitar in the background, and just wanted to see if Sup Forums came to that realization

Grasp at straws more fag, and keep avoiding the original question.
How about this, you post your favorite band, I'll post my favorite band, we'll both make fun of eachother and it will be fine.

>Grasp at straws more fag
Not grasping for anything, I hit the nail on the head.
>you post your favorite band, I'll post my favorite band
You already let us all know full well that babymetal is your favorite, but go ahead and post not-babymetal

Inb4 Ghost

Yeah pretty much. Thing is, a lot of rock is just pop played with guitars. It's not a bad thing at all, but when it's created with the sole intention of tapping into a market where usually the fans see through the bullshit, it kinda stings to hear metal heads now defending the shit they've fought so vehemently before.

It's one of the things that drew me to guitar based music. You could tell an artist was doing it for love because the money wasn't really worth it, but now that same community welcome Babmetal with open arms. Makes me ask 'what the fuck?!'

I already said they weren't fuckboi.
The Mars Volta (rip) is my favorite band.
Post yours.

I didn't know this was a cringe thread

Thing is, Babymetal is fucking original with their concept and their approach of metal music. More oriented power metal (with melodic guitar and vocals)
Some songs are less interesting than others (obviously), but overall, they are creating original songs and some new things. Their second album show that pretty well (Meta Taro is fucking unique)
And the two guitarist are just monsters, just listen to the melody

yeah but their lyrics are straight pop, only their instruments are metal

>The Mars Volta
Ypu outted yourself as a kid with babymetal, but now you outted yourself as homosex with The Mars Volta...

Smh tbqh famalam

At least I'm not insecure in my opinions.

Out and proud, eh? Good for you.

Man, metalheads sure are faggots. Makes me feel embarrassed to like the genre. God forbid someone likes a band you don't. Dickbrain

dude fuck the other guy who wont provide his feelings, atleast you shared your favorite band

The vocals ?
It depends the song, sometimes she sings more metallish (road of resistance for example), sometimes more melodic (or pop if you want) like in karate, but the melody is still here.
Sure it's not 100% metal, but the concept itself is loli + metal, and in a ay, that's why it so popular I thnk. it brings two different world

If you're talking about the lyrics itself, there meanings etc...I don't care at all about it

You gonna call me an "elitist" next, kid?

Go ahead and let it all out

welp loli + metal is all i needed in a band. thanks :3

They're Pop Metal. They are to Metal as Avril Lavigne is to Rock.

>other guy who wont provide his feelings,
Ive been sharing them from the beginning, but kids cant handle the opinions of others so they cry about it

> This

But actually 12yo metalheads, nu-males and man-childs, are the ones that act like this.

I've met a lot of them that are actually pretty cool people to hang with, open-minded and so.

But every now and then you get one of this fine examples of CRAAAAAAWWWWWLIIIIIIING IN MYYYY SKIIIIIIIINNN.

tl;dr: he's an insecure fuck, not everyone.

Thanks user, I think he may have a mental disorder.

Thanks for the moral support, faggot.

I meant him, not you, but if your best is calling someone faggot.

Well shit. :p

Here's the thread so far
>who's your girlfriend?
>she goes to a different school, you wouldn't know her.

Not one person ITT can provide one example of metal that isnt babymetal.

This speaks volumes.

>in less than 2 months all of these girls will be 18

...

Only negative feelings, too scared to show praise.

I like the b standard tuning

...

I like megadeth and trans Siberian orchestra

Some bands I personally like, some more than others, some just one or two songs but whatever. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

While you were listening to babymetal, I was studying the origins of metal.

While you were jerking off to japanese music icons, I was accumulating knowledge of internet comebacks.

Now black sabbath is coming to town and you have the audacity to come and ask for my tickets??

Because you cant have a discussion about metal with someone if they site fucking babymetal as what they like. Thats being a Piper Cherokee pilot trying to have a discussion about speed with an SR-71 pilot, then the Piper Cherokee pilot getting upset when the SR-71 pilot tells them they don't know what speed is.

Pic related, its not even in the same ball park

that's quite the labored metaphor you concocted

Cute reply up until you mentioned Black Sabbath. Hate to break it to you son,but Black Sabbath werent metal. They were a blues influenced rock band that adopted the metal term later in their career.

Indeed, and its the truth.

He's appalling! Do you have any sense of self whatsoever, or do you live your life by committee?

I've got 40+ years 'accumulating' music knowledge. My main lesson has been 'don't be a music faggot and let people listen to whatever they want to'.


Let's hear what you like.

I've always just chalked it up to be a fusion of the two. Also, have some BASED Rob Zombie

20 years? lol that only goes back to the late 90s.

Metal was dead well before then.

INB4 'Muh Nu metal'

Are they still relevant? I thought they were just a fad that would quickly die out.

>let me try as hard as I can to one up him
Nigger please. Your main lesson is to gobble up wangs for sport.

Hipster works better

>Metal was dead well before then.
Sure, if all you ever listened to was mainstream MTV trash.

MTV wasn't around when I was growing up.

Fuckin' A Rob

Fuck, I can't even understand you American kids.

But its all you know

rekt by Rob Zombie for trashing Babymetal
lol

...

It's a fusion of metal and jpop.
And it's 1000x more appealing than most black metal vocals that sound like a chihuahua screaming through a distortion pedal.

Nope never seen it. we only had 3 tv channels in the 70s and 4 in the 80s.

I used to spend my days in record shops and at gigs.

>And it's 1000x more appealing
Good... good... Keep buying their albums...

If you keep buying their albums, you might get to fuck them in the future like you always dreamed about, masturbating to their records...

Blow this thread out, o' wise one.

pretty much anything is better than death metal, you have to be a real autist to think guttural sounds is in anyway appealing...

hehe

Sounds like Nickelback and Creed are right up your alley, and by alley, i mean poop chute.

A LOT of what people generally call metal is pop.

Babymetal are for anime pillow clutching Chris-chan-tier, visual novel consuming autismatrons who have never seen a vagina at arms length and wouldnt want to because they're rather terrifying

FACT.
