| I luv all of their songs (megitsune is my favorite <3) I could go to some of their concerts but I don't have the money TwT but they're all amazing, Yui is my favorite but I luv all the girls <3
| I like some of their stuff
| babymetal exemplifiy everything wrong with the music industry and i despise them.

its a rather well known fact that girls themselves know comparatively little about metal as a whole and much of the music is written for them combine that with their highly marketable appearance and you basically have corporate jpop masquerading as metal
they then proceed to rake in shitloads of cash while legitimate metal musicians struggle to get the recognition they deserve
side note: i dont even like metal that much
| ^ this guy has a point
but
gimme chocolate is the best song of the universe anyway
| i love babymetal so much
yava is best song
| Im not a fan when it comes to this shit.
I like their costumes and things but their music is not good even if it is metal based.
This is coming from a person who listens too much metal.

My dude, what you described as the reasons for hating Babymetal is par for the course for the entire industry. The flashiest clothing/marketing/acting and only music that is designed to attract the most attention sit on top, regardless of the genre, while everyone else who can't afford any of these trappings gets shafted.
| That's entertainment for you. There's never been any fairness, and if "legitimate metal musicians" want to share in the pie, they either gotta change themselves and their work to be marketable, or just accept that they'll never be as popular as the flavor of the year.
| ...On rereading, I just realized that you started off by saying that they represent everything that's wrong with the music industry.
So, er, I guess... yeah, you're right, lol.
