Have you WTFed today?

Now you have.

I'd like to think that this was performed by a mad researcher that explored too deeply in the South Pacific, but no, it's three pieces of Japanese jailbait and a lot of corporate money; it's the sound of metal being raped by Jpop.

Selected quotes from their Wikipedia page:

They have also been dubbed by their record label and fans as "kawaii (meaning cute) metal" because of their Japanese teen pop style fused together with metal genres.[38][39]

None of the three members knew what metal music was before the inception of the band.[9]

According to Kobametal (the band's producer), Babymetal's name came to him by revelation (as a "divine message"). It is a play on the words "heavy metal". "Baby" may indicate cuteness, "metal" – intensity. Also, he has come to like interpreting it as "newborn metal".[12]

Instead of the sign of the horns, the band uses the hand gesture of the fox (or more accurately the kitsune) to symbolise the band's divine inspiration.[40][49] When asked about this divinity (the 'Fox God') they replied, "We’ve actually never met the Fox God, but because of his blessing, we were able to become BABYMETAL."[11]

What. The. Shit.

I suppose I have to give you that, but that's damning with faint praise if I ever saw it.
