I don’t care for baby metal but it’s because of their fans primarily.
Look, I love Nekrogoblikon so I am not one to hold my nose in derision over a shtick.
Babymetal are super talented, The music is pretty good too it’s just not for me.
It’s not MY type of metal but if I have that opinion around one of their fans I get the “oh you’re an elitist” speech when in reality every fan I’ve known of Baby Metal has been kinda icky and shitty about them not being in my top 5.
While I accept that Baby metal is metal, it's also manufactured corpo rock.
Metallica is on the map too, so they’re in good company with a like group.
Baby Metal is an idol group which … yeah, that’s the genre
I'm not a fan of Metallica, but they did emerge from a grassroots music scene.
I mean, they're not my top choice either, but there's a HIGE difference in your approach, "not my cup of tea", and the gatekeeper approach of "it's not real reeee". Everyone has taste, but there's some kind of weird pride over something being metal, or not metal, and it's just super shitty to attack something someone loves, just because it's not your thing.
Heard.
My point was their fandom swings the other direction too.
I mean, that's fair. I don't think that's a valid reason to go gatekeeper, just live and let live, but I get it.
Oh shit I’m not gatekeeping or trying to, I was just conversing with ya. I say listen to whatever gets you off
I’ve seen what you’re saying for sure though but I argue it’s anyone who is passionate about something likes to walk their garden off and throw up a gate.
I know you're not, personally. I'm just providing counterargument.
My counterargument to that is, why wall your garden off? Why not share the beauty you've found or built with others? Maybe see what their gardens are like?
