It started with Babymetal but now seems to have been picked up American artists too. Always thought of Babymetal as a novelty but for some reason I actually really dig Poppy's blend of pop and metal.

Here's a couple examples

To me it's way better than most of what passes for 'metal' right now with all the same growling voices and riffs that you cannot hear because they are too fast. I would take this over that any day. (As messed up as this is)

Metal has entirely too many subgenres.

Technically metal is a subgenre of rock

I've been a Babymetal fan since early on. It's always amusing when people first listen to them and get that "how do I process this?" look on their faces.

Already spent an hour watching videos, downloaded an album plus a few other songs, made a playlist, posted a video on facebook, and listened to them on the way to the store. And I never heard of them til 2 hours ago.

Take it from me, those songs will be in your head all night while you try to sleep, and first thing when you get up tomorrow morning. I’ve been there before.

Poppy X reminded me of One-Eyed Doll a little bit.

Been listening to Babymetal for a couple days now and they have some damn fine music. Trying to decide if I want to drive to Atlanta or Dallas to see them live in a few months. Who’s up for a road trip?

Ugh no, you're just listening to the wrong bands. Whatever this is that was linked is just awful.
