They’re actually blues rock. Which is essentially the beginnings of metal

[@pavelm.gonzalez8608]

@@evanhagan5420I used to think AC/DC were metal (at least some of their classiest songs like: Back in Black), anyway I don't care they still rule!!! 🤘😈

[@TheRevScare]

Babymetal is pop with some metal distortion and decent riffs, but it isn't metal. AC/DC is not metal, either; it's hard rock at most.

[@MrJordwalk]

No, Babymetal ARE Metal, but they're proponents of the Japanese Metal tradition, especially Visual Kei (wherein the fusion of pop, EDM, symphony, and metal music is commonplace).

[@TheRevScare]

+Cole Jordan No, it isn't metal. It is hard rock by a stretch. Japanese metal bands are still metal bands, regardless of national peculiarities, but Babymetal is not one of them. You cannot be metal if you infuse pop.

[@TheRevScare]

+Rev Scare actually, they don't even infuse pop. They ARE pop and incorporate some style from metal.

[@MrJordwalk]

You can't be metal if you infuse pop? Amaranth, for one, would beg to differ. They're a fusion of Melodic Death Metal, Power Metal, EDM and Pop and can't be called anything else but Metal.

[@TheRevScare]

+Cole Jordan Sure, they can. Amaranthe is a progressive fusion project, but not metal, though some of their work is closer to "true" metal than other. Neither Amaranthe nor Babymetal have an entry on Encyclopedia Metallum, which I consider a definitive source. Stop wasting my time by desperately petitioning to have your little pet interest gain metal status like a fanboy. I'm a metal purist, and I simply will not be convinced that either of those two bands represent real metal (though some of what Amaranthe has produced might be regarded as such, as mentioned previously). There's nothing inherently bad about a band simply because it isn't real metal. They can still be good bands. I listen to a lot of metalcore, but I acknowledge that it isn't metal.

[@m1ghtysauc3E]

I've never understood why anyone would "hate" any band. There are bands I don't like, but seek out online posts just so I can leave a negative comment, or to bash other people for liking them, seems pretty silly in my book.

[@briankerrigan3529]

Jason When you are forced to hear certain songs everywhere ya go, the fans are ignorant and never shut up about them, their music is really horrible, and people that like it crap on what you like, that is why to hate a band.

Drew P. Weiner In the beginning, I think it was reasonable for no one to take them too seriously. But now after their second album, they seem to be realizing their own potential. They were started as a gimmick, but I think they're slowly starting to move away from that (at least I hope lol).

I just don't like babymetal's sound. I respect them but just not my type of band

[@Lungsy1988]

That's not "hate" though. The video is about over-hated bands. What you did was make a simple, specific dissatisfaction with their sound, which is completely fine, and justified because it's subjective. For example, I dislike the music that BMTH put out nowadays, but much like yourself, I'm not going on a huge, rage filled rants on actual BMTH videos, saying I "hate" them or "they should fuck off and die" or whatever the retards of the metal community say online. We should all be respecting and supporting metal music, whether we love the sound or not. It's really hard to make it as a young band these days, considering the state of the music industry. The hate for Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot has always been mind-numbing to read at times. They're far from my favorite bands, but I have a million other bands i can choose to go listen to, so there's no need to hate on popular bands lol.

[@mr.bonez3150]

Amen to that!

[@elisile2100]

Hi Lungsy

[@cyberbrynnhildr1053]

And thats totally fine.

[@joelbroncos]

Babymetal's hate is injustified. Every single reason I've heard is dumb, and not because it is my favourite band, it just is. They only have two discs and yet they have Progressive Metal, Heavy Metal, Ska, Folk, Metal Ballad, Nu-Metal, Metal with J-Pop, Metal with Rap, Metal with Electronic Music, Metal with Dubstep, Death Metal. You name it. And the people who hates them they only listen to one song and that's it. They have so much stuff it is almost impossible to not relate with something.

[@joelbroncos]

Ely Gallego Annoying cheesy vocals? Personal taste I guess, but then again, not every song is like that, not even the majority TBH. And that's why you have to listen to the whole product. They need to listen to Rondo Of Nightmare, Akatsuki, No Rain, No Rainbow, Ijime Dame, Zettai, The ONE, and I can keep going. Su-Metal is getting real recognition and is now on tops on best female metal vocalists, at age 18. That's damn impressive to say the least.

[@BrutalFuJay]

I heard both albums. And while I understand what people like about them, I still can't stand them. It all seems so gimmicky to me. In fact do gimmicky, it makes me cringe. It's so different just to be different. I hate that shit. It's dumb and pretentious

[@fscorpion678]

+Ely Gallego SuMetals voice is really good

[@arvaakuka8568]

Name one song where they have progressive metal, Id like to hear it. For me the problem with them is also the vocals. It makes me really cringe. Its just something that doesnt fit there. As someone said earlier, its different just to be different, not becouse its artistic or personal. After all their band sounds just forced, and I cant enjoy the music. But then again Ive heard only few songs

[@LagginPotato]

I agree with hating on post-black album Metallica. But of lot of tryhard "extreme" metalheads even hate on classic era Metallica which annoys the shit out of me. In their prime Metallica was amazing (Kill Em All through Master of Puppets; some of and Justice For All).

[@mynameisdudge]

I respect any Metal band but what makes my blood fucking boil is these bands that dress like pretty boys like they're in a boy band... This making their fanbase absolute cancerous... It's basically what's ruined the metalcore genre... A few bands that could be named are Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria and Bring me the Horizon...

[@Trevormagnum]

the way I look at it, if I don't like it I won't listen to it and I won't say anything of it, and if I do like it then dammit I'm gonna listen to it, just because I don't like the way a band sounds doesn't mean I'm gonna hate the band and personally I'm a fan of a few bands on this list: five finger death punch, avenged sevenfold, slipknot, and metallica

[@casketbase7750]

I think it's interesting that many of these bands were also on the "Most Overrated" list. I never thought about it before, but I suppose it's possible for a band to be both. Music is subjective. No need to mindlessly praise or condemn a group. Just let them be.

[@coverkillernation]

+Jack Casey absolutely it is possible and also not a bad thing, really.

[@Velanestar]

acdc is not metal. its old school rock and roll.

[@LiliVamp10]

the only problem that I have about baby metal is that they are not a real band. they are a show band, i dont know them, but i doubt they write or compose their own music. they are just like one of those pop performers, kmetal idk wtf people would call them but they are definetely not a legit metal band. but whatever just not my type of music entertainment when it comes to metal

[@TheManPF]

Well somebody had to write it, don't you think? Why does the person who wrote it matter at all?

[@ravensong4516]

Yes they are more of an show/act than an actual band. And the girls have only written one of their own songs by themselves and say they will have a bigger role in writing and composing songs when they know more about metal. But that's no reason to have a problem with them. If you like them or their music, feel free to support them, who cares what others think. Entertainment is entertainment regardless of how the music was produced. Life is too short to be narrowing your preferences to only artists who write all of their own music by themselves because you'll miss out on so much other great music out there. Take a look at orchestras who don't compose their own music but are still crazy talented and play brilliant pieces. Ozzy Osbourne barely writes any of his own music either.

[@jamesstaggs4160]

Slipknot's self titled album is what helped me transition to the harder stuff. I had albums like Death's Spiritual Healing and some of Kreator's early work, but I had a hard time enjoying it. Slipknot gave us death metal lite and no doubt contributed to the genres current acceptance. Although I have to admit it seems like Stone Sour spilled over too much into Slioknot's later offerings.

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Yeah when I was a teen death metal, black metal, Grind, doom etc etc were all too heavy for me to enjoy. Slipknot really helped me transition into heavier music, it's really the perfect band for beginner metal fans.

[@Demonizer5134]

I'm really glad to see that five finger death punch is in fact getting a fuck of a lot of hate as you say. I've only ever found people who like them and thought I was alone in hating them. Actually, they deserve more hate overall. They are fucking horrible and give metal a bad name. The few of us who actually love metal need to make it known that they are a piece of shit band that needs to fucking die.

About Dream Theater the first time I heard of them was from a guitarist acquintance who was terribly condescending to any other band/music at all. It just seems like a lot of Dream theater fans are musicians themselves and unsufferable elitists who simply cannot ever shut up about Dream Theater, or stop putting down whatever music you like to listen to. But as far as the band itself I have no negative feelings towards them.

Nr.10 - there is not really reason why to hate on them, there are reasons why to dislike their music, but not to hate Nr.9 - Ac/dc - I do myself hate sound of the band, i do like Sabbath, Maiden, Zeppelin, but cant get over ac/dc but it is just hate of the sound not the band Nr.8 - Opeth - Again there is not a reason why to hate on the band, their early material is amazing and if you dont care about their newer output just dont listen to it Nr.7 - Slipknot - I get people dont enjoying the over simplicity, but there are reasons why to like them, Vocals, plus they were amazing at shows and were pretty decent songwriters, i dont care about the gimmick Nr.6 - there is really good reason why to hate on bands like AA cause the band has no talent - they are just taking ideas of others throwing cringy lyrics on it plus their music is pretty much pop with core vocal estetique. Plainly bad music. I can get over many of new metalcore like BMTH, Bullet for my valentine etc. But attila or AA HELL NO. Nr5 - Avenged sevenfold - Yeah i never got this one, even though, i do not listen to the band, i think they are doing some decent music, plus their singer seems to have just perfect voice. But their fans are fucking dumb Nr.4 - FFDP - again this is just unnecesary, yes the band is super generic, but i actually whink their first album wasn't that bad, they are not bad musicians or persons Nr3 - Dream theater - i wouldn't consider them getting much hate. I have never been fan of their music even at their best i was more into porcupine tree type of prog Nr.2 - I get this one kinda, because they started making music changes that are little bit cringeworthy. But overall meh Nr.1 - I always hated metallica's music, all of my friends were so much into metallica, while i was still listening to my Sabbath at the time

[@MILUNGAO]

Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park are by far more hated than all the bands mentioned in this video. By the way, if somebody made a poll about the most hated hard rock/metal subgenres, nü-metal would be the favorite to win (in competition with emo and post-grunge).

I don't believe Babymetal is a mockery or parody, I believe it falls under the Visual Kei category which is nothing new in Japan

[@SleepFan771]

Deafheaven is also super critically acclaimed for both Sunbather and New Bermuda. I think they are hated by black metal fans for not being brutal enough or for looking like hipsters. I think once people give their music a chance with an open mind, they may like it. I call Deafheaven a blackgaze band because they really are combining elements from black metal and shoegaze.

[@sebastianarmas897]

+Ocean Sage that's one of the reasons why people hate Deafheaven. They call it Hipster Metal and they combine Black Metal with Shoegaze. Black Metal fans don't like Black Metal combined with Showgaze and Showgaze fans don't like Showgaze combined with Black Metal. (As someone told me)

I dont get how anyone can say Babymetal is not metal....its japanese pop meets melodeath. The backing band is very metal and the style of play with the crunch and riffs and distortion are squarely in the metal genre. Just to be clear folks....your feelings dont define what is what. You can dislike a band. But you cannot make something what its not, even if you dislike it. Babymetal is factually a metal outfit. It qualifies. End of argument. Anything that objects to that is wrong and/or is ignorant. You can disagree with opinions. You cannot disagree with facts. Which this is.

acdc was considered "metal" by 50 year old soccer moms in 1980. fans never considered them metal though. my argument is though that no one really hates ACDC. they still sell out stadiums. are people sick of hearing the same 5 acdc songs on classic rock radio? yes, but no one actually hates acdc.

[@Slyness64209]

No, the most overhated metal band is Limp Bizkit, there's no contest here...

[@AnimeMetalFan1]

The hate is well deserved though. Although I will admit that Wes Borland is a really good guitarist. His talent is wasted on Limp Bizkit.

[@billyrowe6249]

Not overhated Limp Bizkit is overrated

[@nickmoser7785]

Limp Bizkit deserves hate. Fuck their wigger music

[@aaronstark5060]

There’s not enough hate in the metal community for Limp Biskit (and that’s a LOT of hate).

[@ChipmunkAsylum]

I love Limp Bizkit

[@daveplaysgames0388]

Ok, we’re you just reading a Wikipedia page or something?? In what world is Nu Metal even remotely as heavy as Slipknot? I’ve literally only seen that classification of them on Wikipedia

[@skeptic8040]

Big succes = most hated

[@anggaramadhan6600]

its a way to success!

[@Hatemile]

Yo Ck, you should list the background songs you use during each video in your descriptions. Itll help introduce a lot of people to new music and bands which is often a goal of some of your videos. The opening track you use in this video is sick. Im really curious what the songs name is. Thanks for the vids ck, keep up the good work man.

[@eddyguizonde401]

+coverkillernation it's funny you call ac/dc metal yet see led zep as not belonging. i grew up thinking that 3 bands really forged the heavy metal of the later years. sabbath for pretty much everything, but namely the atmosphere and the sound. led zep for the heaviness (think of all their harder riffs, you can't help banging your head), and deep purple for the virtuosity. all 3 bands started in the 60's, and sowed the seeds of what would become unequivocally metal in the 70's. for me, ac/dc is very very good, but i always saw them as hard rock... wait, devil horns, girls, 20 minute solos? nevermind, they prepared the ground for glam (them and kiss). took some thinking, but i see your point. (the last part was said in jest, before i get hate and corrections, except for seeing the point. that was true).

[@eddyguizonde401]

true, but my point stands. if i remember tony iommi's autobiography, they formed in 67 and started doing the touring circuit before getting enough money to record. once that record was out, all hell broke loose, in part because of the afore-mentionned zep and purple, and possibly of steppenwolf's "born to be wild", with the phrase "heavy metal thunder". normally a reference to a high-powered engine, now a reference to a sound born (in my opinion) in the foundries of birmingham.

[@aaronmcbryer3980]

Indeed!

[@michaeledwards6683]

I can't really imagine Led Zep as being metal though. The only one of their songs I can really understand might be early metal is "Achilles Last Stand".

[@aaronmcbryer3980]

Michael Edwards Nah, they had some pretty straight forward heavy metal songs, and they incorporated heavy guitar even in some of their tracks that had really different combinations of styles. It's sorta like Queen. Zeppelin are really a versatile band that kinda did everything, it wouldn't be fair to pigeon hole them into just one genre or to exclude them from a genre, especially one that was booming in the 70's. Like I said, same goes for Queen. Thin Lizzy too.

[@fmlAllthetime]

Can only see a few of their songs being metal tbh. Black Dog, Dazed and Confused, Kashmir, The Immigrant Song... can't think of any more off the top off my head. Sabbath and AC DC were always pretty heavy and lyrically dark or crazy balls to the wall.

[@IanOrGoregy]

Holy shit! You did my idea.

[@mikaelhelmdorf7737]

I'm glad KoRn's not hated alot.

[@jasonclark9963]

CrispyCakes they haven't even put out a average album out since 2003. Close to 90% of their albums sucked

[@ethanjordan2517]

CrispyCakes even though they are a really good band, they do get a lot of hate

[@charlesoverman2950]

Ultimate Random Guy they are hated a lot but they deserve to be therefore they're not OVERhated

[@itkojecockot]

Metallica wrote this lovely song about their ex-hardcore fans..... it is called "Hate Train" on their 2011 EP "Beyond Magnetic"

[@paulandrew3319]

FFDP should be hated even more.....

[@globynn]

At 2:13 I feel like he has Tourette's but instead of swearing he's listing band names lmao

[@AbyssmalAngel]

I think Christian Black Metal gets overhated a lot more than it should. Being considered "Not Black Metal, Trve Kvult", and whatever. Christan Black Metal (Or Unblack Metal, or whatever you want to call it), had some truly influential and prominent bands within its own sub-scene. Antestor and Crimson Moonlight, just to name two, had a lot of hurdles to crawl through to get their music heard and aren't really appreciated for their sound, skill and struggle to make an effect in the whole genre of Black Metal. Sure it's very bizarre of a sub-subgenre(?), but a lot of talent gets overlooked simply because of their religious beliefs or lack of union with the neopagan/satanic/anti-abrahamic/anti-zionist laden scene. A lot of the bands truly tried to make progression in the Black Metal subgenre and some had the most unique sounds of the genre, it's kinda sad that they are shoved to the side. I understand the revolt against "Christians trying to shove their ideology in every facet of life", but really this is music, a form of expression of ones self. These guys just happen to be Christian. You would figure that Metal fans of any type would great it with open arms. It's certainly more respectable than the Christian hipster guild that fills the Metalcore halls with despair.

[@kingl4d602]

Christian metal in general, for sure. But these are individual bands we are talking about here, not an entire genre. A friend of mine actually started out with Christian Metal and from time to time decides to show it off. I was talking with him about King Diamond in his car one time, and he goes "You want to hear the Christian equivalent of King Diamond?" This piqued my interest immensely so I, obviously, said yes. He showed me a band called Tourniquet... the album was called something like "Stop the Bleeding" or something. It was cheesy as hell (has to be if he was going to relate it to KD) but the falsetto vibratos and instrumentals were on point. I said something like, "Wow, it's a shame they're pushing Christian propaganda, because this is actually really good." His response was something like "It has to be! Because it has to compete with traditional metal." Personally, I don't hate Christian Metal of any sub-genre, but I do hate theist obtrusion towards everyone else.

[@zalewskijoey]

AbyssmalAngel white metal isn't hated enough, it's a load of Christians who are jumping on a kvlt bandwagon

[@AbyssmalAngel]

Isn't Atheistic Black Metal jumping on the Satanic Kult wagon as well?

[@kenmanius]

I can understand Christian death metal, but black metal is based around hatred of Christianity. Or all weak forms of organized religion as they would say.

[@michaeledwards6683]

I knew Opeth would be on the list. I actually haven't heard any of their new "Heritage era" stuff, but I'm guessing that I would actually like it because I've heard it goes hand-in-hand with Steven Wilson's Grace For Drowning and the Storm Corrosion album.

[@stefans4562]

I love old metal. I love 60's to 70's rock. But I utterly hate ACDC.

[@moneyman64]

Stefan S and why?

[@jerrycantrell6169]

Super Saiyan You're a fucking idiot.

[@jerrycantrell6169]

Super Saiyan Because of the stupid comment you made *which is now deleted but I remember some parts*. First of all he doesn't have to respect shit, just because you and many other acdc fans can't accept that people have different opinions doesn't mean they need to keep it to themself. And it's pretty low to bring up malcom young just so you can make him feel bad. Also typical how you bring up modern rap music, once queted "pop and rap music sucks, but I'm a rock fan. So its none of my business". Everyone's talking about rock music so fucking rap music has nothing to do with this, you're the perfect example of why I can't stand annoying "real music" kids.

[@ellisaudio9727]

I love your videos dude!!!

[@pancake7183]

Babymetal is fucking awesome and I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks.

[@joshuapayne2922]

^very true

[@Dire-Fates]

Same

[@Asian_Movie_Enthusiast]

Yup. BAND-MAID is awesome too. More of a hard rock band, but check 'em out.

[@joelbroncos]

BABYMETAL is my favourite band and BAND-MAID is second, so listen to the guy above me^^... Babymetal has so much stuff you relate with something. They have Nu Metal, Heavy Metal, Progressive Metal, Folk, Metal Ballad, Death Metal, Metal with J-Pop, Metal with Rap, Metal with Dubstep, Metal with electronic music, Speed Metal, etc. They have an incredible big amount of variety on only two discs.

[@joshuapayne2922]

+LynnRamos i mean, babymetal is good but they only have 2 albums. you dont listen to a lot of metal bands do you?

[@finroe6089]

Great Video!

[@behindthememesabortedfetus6884]

Nathaniel Damarelos A skull with wings is a pretty basic image. It's probably just convenience.

[@bubhub64]

I remember when bands like Boston and Journey were considered heavy metal bands back in the late 70's! I still have a Cream magazine from the late 70's, where rock fans voted Blue Oyster Cult metal band of the year! Boy have times changed!

[@noahlarson8806]

if it isn't harsh noise than it isn't good

[@coverkillernation]

+noah larson if it's not Metal Machine Music it's not harsh noise.

[@noahlarson8806]

Lou Reed is awesome. Some good noise metal would be full of hell and the body's collaborative album.

[@fotismonocheir1446]

+noah larson yep... dragonaut all the way!

[@James-hm3cu]

it is interesting that all 10 you list are all popular bands. Popular or different doesnt always mean bad, but in the metal community it always seems to.

[@SnakeGeo]

AC/DC-Metal? HAHAHAHA

[@Shireen1337]

what's the music playing in the background? it's familiar but i can't quite figure it out

[@cr0nosphere]

lol throw your shirt in the dryer before you get on camera lol

[@cassidybuck4521]

lol, no shit, dryer sheets or dewrinkle button

[@ibanezmaestro5630]

Have you considered a Top Ten Best/Worst Live Bands list? Or have you already done that?

[@slothprime1327]

Dragonforce?

[@jamesgoad4948]

They aren't relevant enough to be on a list. :P

[@aks1a7x]

what were the names of the music pieces in the background in this episode...

[@krisdaschwab912]

AC/DC gets my hate for sounding the same while also sounding really annoying. "modern metal" really depends on the band. Avenged Sevenfold has gotten worse over time but I don't hate them or anything. Five Finger Death Punch is a shit band led by a moron with a Napoleonic Complex. And if you look at Slayer's fan base...they would be the south. Again, no hate for Slayer, just saying.

[@swedishrocknroller7508]

your first sentence... why change anything perfect?

[@BlackMaria]

What's the music in the background?

[@wpBill]

I miss nu metal

[@wpBill]

cuz it was awesome. The fusion of two powerful genres! Idk, I like all kinds of metal but I grew up with metal AND rap so hearing the combination was pretty cool

[@wpBill]

***** sure, I can get that. But you can't deny bands like Coal Chamber, Slipknot, KoRn, and even Static-X weren't so bad. Shit man I can only work out to nu metal because of the "bouncy" rhythms.

[@youcanthandlethetruth8873]

One question. Are you heavy? Yes? Good. You are Metal.

[@shredmaster6661]

They dislike avenged sevenfold I dislike their existence😋

[@vickeydisneyqueen]

Symphonic Metal as an entire genre should be on this list. I get so much judgement for my fandom.
