I am kind of in love with Baby Metal.
It's my first time hearing them, I will find out what they represent at a later date.
The fact that they can make a dance to that is amazing.
Heavy metal is really hard to dance to, lol.
(At least to me it is.)
Do they wear anything besides black and red?
Going for a typical lolita goth look?
C'mon, Japan, I know you can do better than this.
xD
The clapping hair is definitely a "Wtf" in my book.
xDD
Wth is that an advertisement for?
@~longcat~ Sorry for the late response. I don't love it but I don't hate it... I could see it growing on me. As for what it is supposed to represent, I have no freaking clue.
Whoa! I... sorta, kinda like it? I guess. Maybe? I'm not sure. I think it's okay. I started liking the kind of music my mother calls "noise" when I was in 5th grade, so I'm not surprised that these girls are in this type of band.
I think this little japanese girl is more awesome though!
I have to say, I'm really digging this recent trend of mixing feminine styles with harder music genres. BabyMetal is pretty cool. I don't really like all of their songs, but it's so much fun to watch them dance and headbang. "GIve Me Chocolate" has actually made its way onto my playlist recently. It's got a good beat and isn't quite as WTF as the others.
I hope that it catches on and inspires more groups!
I just found this and I'm actually pretty interested. I'm gonna have to listen to more. I don't really like the candiness of japanese pop or really heavy metal. Mixing the two together seems to create a sorta balance, though I doubt I'd ever really love it.
What the literal fuck did I just watch/listen to? Out of all the videos I have seen on them. There is nothing to show its representation to the traditional metal videos you see from other countries. To be completely honest it strikes me as a "I listen to metal. I'm so hardcore." type of attitude. Far too many smiles and just not enough "hatred" as seen in most of the metal genres.
