I hope someone has posted that Rob Zombie quote calling out the pathetic people who will never even come close to being as metal as baby metal.

It's really lame when insecure losers treat music like a social status by trying to argue what's good and bad. The only not-loser way to interact with music outside of your own comfort zone is to try to enjoy it or politely disregard it if that's not possible. Why waste energy hating stuff?

I'm not explicitly against it or anything, but the substantial rise of "gimmick" metal in the 2010s just has me asking why?

When I first saw them, I had the typical ignorant metalhead reaction. Kept seeing them pop up on youtube. One day decided...ehhh...why not? and gave them some listens.

I now own all 3 albums, and kick myself every day for missing out seeing them live.

this isn't a question that needs significant time spent on it. because they wanted to make it. some people like it, some people don't. things can exist without having to be answered for. go on about your life if you don't like it.

This i have to hear. Elaborate please.
ACDC is the epitome of Dadrock. Outdated music with pop catchy beats and shit lyrics. They had a boy band aesthetic, between the glam and school uniforms, and played to the biggest audience they could find. People often question if the Beatles would be relevant if they started today, but they pushed the envelope enough that they would still be somewhat interesting, ACDC was white fucking bread. If Babymetal is cringe then ACDC is a full kick to the balls.

ok, maybe I misspoke. I'm man enough to admit that, but even so, point still stands outside of classification. One band does not a genre make. Baby Metal doesn't define all of Metal music, and its inclusion does not make all Metal bad. Same can be said with any band for any genre.

Also.... I would be hesitant to call Nightwish Power Metal, they are more Symphonic Metal than anything else.

Nightwish's early stuff has a very power metal sound to it, more so than other similar bands

but subgenre classification isn't just some absolute thing, there's overlap everywhere

Metal has been gimmicky since its inception

even progenitors like Black Sabbath, pentagram, etc the satanic stuff was explicitly a gimmick

Oh for sure, and I may have worded that post a tad poorly

I just see a lot of the new stuff turning it up to eleven and emulating bands like Gloryhammer/Nekrogoblikon/etc (again not saying they're bad) and shifting the focus more towards parodying the genre itself rather than a focus on the fundamentals

Metal, of course has been doing this from the very beginning, it just seems more prominent now
