There's room for everyone in every music genre. If it's not your thing - that's fine! There's plenty of standard metal bands out there.
I mean, the bands that's shirts are typically being sold at places like H&M are pretty ubiquitous as far as mainstream recognition, so the odds are better than, say, a Kardashian wearing a Gorguts tee.
But the reality is, what direction would you want to take it, confront them and be a dick, or have a convo where you can connect and maybe turn them on to a rad band? Worst case they're disinterested, best case they get a new favorite band. Either way, what's it matter? The band/label got paid.

Which is already a thing.
Meanwhile, idiots in the scene paying absurd prices for "vintage" tshirts is also a thing, so...maybe everyone is the problem.

Again, are you and I ever gonna meet her and be like "yo wtf poser"? No lol, but I also wouldn't do that to a random stranger in an Urban Outfitters shirt. What's it matter? Make fans, don't reinforce asshole fan stereotypes.

Is this a real post
dont hate this but i don't see any scenario where i would ever listen to this on purpose.
I was going to say
"Even after their collab with BMTH last year?"
And it turns out that was already a year and a half ago.
That's fine
You probably wouldn't make a thread demanding to know what this garbage is though right?
I didn't appreciate them until I started watching live concerts. Seeing a seventeen year old girl command a circle pit is something else. Their live backing band is also just fucking incredible. BOH is an amazing bassist.
Then again, I'm also a fan of Poppy after hearing the Eat EP.

Poppy's latest stuff is great but I wouldn't call it metal. Still rocks though.
Babymetal is awesome. Expand your horizons a bit and let the fun flow through you.
Karate is a genuinely kick ass metal song. They are definitely more than a gimmick.

I'm not a huge fan of the idol angle. I like Lovebites though, which is a more traditional all-female Power Metal band, also from Japan.
It's perfectly fine to not like something, but to come out with such a strong statement with a heavy hint of 'this isn't real X' is definitely gatekeeping.
I would consider myself alternative, not as much visually as I used to be but I used to be considered goth from college onwards and alternative people can be some of the most elitist people around.
The entire reason people usually embrace alternative cultures like metal and/or clothing etc is because it embodies the idea of just because you are different or like different things to the norm, doesn't mean you aren't valid and that there are others who will celebrate your choices.
Far too many alternative people end up becoming worse than the 'normies' by instead of an outright aversion to something different, it's holding people or things to a certain standard and acting better than some things that don't meet your benchmark.
Being alternative is meant to be inclusive but some end up doing the complete opposite.
The Eat EP has some serious Dillinger-esque parts in there. Flux is a solid rock album, but her metalcore/mathcore sound from Eat is top tier.

I don't much like the term garbage when it comes to subjective stuff like art really. This isn't my thing, but it's pretty clear they have had some success and many people like them. Plenty of people love the punk or hip hop artists I love and I'm sure plenty don't.
I don't like that doesn't mean garbage. Just means you don't like something.

Ah yeah, I meant Flux specifically. I thought I Disagree was trying a bit too hard but both Eat and Flux sound like they come from a much more sincere place and are better for it.
This is me, I had such a good time seeing them live I started expanding my music tastes to include metal!
So OP how about some recommendations instead
That aren't 30 year old bands everyone has already heard I mean

If this isn't a troll post: you should know that if you go to a "real metal" show wearing a Pantera shirt, people are 100% goofing on you behind your back.real metal

Will echo the sentiment that Gimme Chocolate is not the best intro to Babymetal.
Karate, Distortion, Elevator Girl.... good shit.
This, also. They've done good stuff since then, but that first album will always be a favorite of mine. "Vow" is such an incredible song, though the whole album is fantastic. Glad I finally got to see them live a few years back.
