What do you get when...

...you mix catchy pop hooks, crushing metal riffs and a healthy dose of anime cuteness?  You get this:

 

I don't care, I like it!

[DasBootcamp]

Well that was definitely what was advertised in the post.

You like it? I love it! I'm listening to their song Karate right now.

I came here expecting a thread about a guy who vastly outperformed his team and lost...

 

...I left with a new outlook on life...

I saw them live in a park here in Montreal a few summers ago. Better songs than this one--great visuals. Baby metal, why not? Geriatric metal next mayhaps.

 

I recall this metalhead next to me shaking his head and saying "This is fecked-up!"

 

Hilarious.

Metal has never been this adorable

I'm speechless.....and that does not happen. I've got nothing. Wow.

OMG...where are the mushrooms when I need them. Having gone through my own mind blowing age if I were 18 to 25 again I could easily see myself in the audience bouncing up and down going bonkers.

That's what I was listening to when I made the post

That was precisely my reaction after I watched Babymetal for the first time.  I just sat there staring at the screen.  My mouth might have been hanging open and there may or may not have been some glassy eyes and drool involved.  It's all so muddled and confused when I look back on that fateful day.  

 

It's been about a year now and I think that I can safely say that I am a real fan.   I have also developed a strange affinity for the fox.  Especially the crafty variety.  Probably just coincidence.   I'll have that looked into.

Metal has never been this adorable

 

And it may never be again.  Let's enjoy it while we can!

Exactly.

I'm that double age group and then some.  I haven't gone bonkers...yet, but there was definitely some bouncing going on.  Respectable, dignified and mature bouncing, but it was still bouncing.

OMG my brain just farted. I'm sticking to Pink.

Baby Metal - the phenomena that's sweeping the world .

Oh, Japan...

 

I think those two nukes did far more damage than the Americans ever realised...

I remember watching a video of Babymetal reacting to people reacting to Babymetal.
