Welu:
I think it's a joke that they aren't the facetious genre "baby" because of their age. Not a comment on it being metal or not because of their age.
Theta9:
Wombt and Welu have the right of it.
And I was guessing at their age; seems I was slightly off. Oh well. Just proves my point that Babymetal isn't baby.

Babymetal is.... weird. I love that they exist, despite the fact they may just be a classical Japanese formula band, but still.

I saw them on stage once. It's funny to watch, but is it metal? I don't know, honestly...

In what sense is it not metal? I've heard precisely one song of theirs and it seems to be a pretty even split between being metal and J-pop.

Probably in the sense it's mixed with J-Pop. It's something my brain can't fully wrap around, mixing classic metal stereotypes with J-Pop stereotypes (metal with a tendency to sound aggressive, to an extent, and adding the ... 'cuteness' of J-Pop to that)
Thrillho:
Well, I have a few thoughts on that.
1. The song I heard had a pretty harsh divide between the 'metal' riffage part and the insanely catchy chorus (it was one of their singles. No idea what it's called) so I'm not sure I qualify that as 'mixed.'
2. But that just makes it J-pop metal. Genres have been getting mixed since before there were genres. Metal mixed with hip-hop is rap-metal or nu-metal, pop mixed with punk is pop-punk, J-pop mixed with metal is J-pop metal, surely?
3. I am aware that quibbling over genres is what one might call an 'asshole's errand' but nobody pays me to freelance any more and I'm bored
