Maybe not this exact combo but it's hardly much different/more shocking as say, adult men dressed as 9-year old girls doing death metal.
Why does some stuff totally get on the radar when tons of other stuff flies below it for decades. As a side note, I'm not into Babymetal. Kind of bland for me.  |
Here's my theory on why, once sub cultures start to gain a little popularity they start to seep into the current pop culture. eventually most of the things you liked that were outside the mainstream culture will become a part of the mainstream culture.
I hate Psy but i like Baby metal and Band aid and all those weird asian groups. Im not gonna buy their album or anything but i'll see a couple of their videos.
