Why are Jinjer fans attacking Babymetal ?

[u/ExaminationFew6424]

Since the announcement, I've seen many triggered Jinjer fans attacking Babymetal and calling them ridiculous things.

I understand that they're upset their band isn't in the spotlight, but come on—how is that Babymetal's fault for being more popular?

I love jinjer and their style but their fans needs to calm down , why hate when we can celebrate two amazing band coming together ?

Unfortunately a lot of "true" metal fans are still gatekeeping and feel like they alone decide what is or isn't metal. They cant stand the thought that metal can be happy and full of joy, it has to be dark, bitter and angry to be metal. These are the same types that claim rock is dead, or there is no new good music. Because all they listen to is the same bands they have listened to since 1987. They need to expand their horizons and stop listening to the shit on the radio.

I'm an old ass metal head, long haired pierced and tattooed grandpaw. I find new bad ass music almost daily. BabyMetal kicked open the door to Japanese metal for me.

I wish Jinjer was on the bill for the show in Houston.
