Not crap, but certainly not not-crap. Somewhere in between. Craaa?
I just don't get it. My kids probably do, so that's ok. I guess.
Once that aural aesthetic is no longer associated with the cultural signifiers that made it outre and daresay "dangerous" or "countercultural" it becomes innocuous and available to anyone who wishes to use it. Buzzsaw guitars in tutti with pounding bass and tight 32nd-note drum beats are as "pop music" as anything else at this point.

Say goodbye to badass.
Not a matter of it being "badass" or not, it's just cookie-cutter, plastic music with a gimmick on top.

That’s an unpleasant assertion to make.

The mere mention of Babymetal generally means I'm hearing from someone who doesn't care at all for the musical idiom in question, or hasn't kept up with it for the last twenty to thirty years.
Yep, Bernardo nails it on the first try. Also, part RATM and Slipknot? It's OK to not listen to metal but this is like saying Shellac is part AC/DC, part Neil Young...
