Oh, are you interpreting their comment as saying that these bands don’t deserve to be popular?
I think, they’re rather saying that the names themselves are humorous, like I don’t speak any South African language, but I have to assume that band intentionally stringed together tons of letters.
Similarly, a drive on a parkway is rather mundane, whereas a metal band’s music is usually quite the opposite…
It’s all relative to popularity. If it was about Rock and said AC/DC for Australia who would go hahahah AC/DC what a stupid name lololol are they making music about rectifiers? Parkway Drive is just one example that I was personally rolling my eyes over hard, but how is White Rat not a suitable name for a metal band?! To me it’s just being deliberately ignorant, that’s the whole joke, I don’t know these bands, such stupid names.

Its even worse than that, as the OP posted above, its an acronym made to be as disgusting as they could come up with. Its honestly a bit impressive, but not that surprising considering the genre.
It’s a pretty common thing to say certain bands aren’t metal, as an elitist gatekeeping thing. Baby Metal is one that often, people will say “isn’t metal” because they’re cute girls in Gothic Lolita fashion. It’s a pretty common assumption that anyone laughing at baby Metal is just being an elitist.
I don’t care for baby metal but it’s because of their fans primarily.
Look, I love Nekrogoblikon so I am not one to hold my nose in derision over a shtick.
Babymetal are super talented, The music is pretty good too it’s just not for me.
It’s not MY type of metal but if I have that opinion around one of their fans I get the “oh you’re an elitist” speech when in reality every fan I’ve known of Baby Metal has been kinda icky and shitty about them not being in my top 5.
Why the downvotes? These are funny names.
I’m downvoting for specifically picking out Parkway Drive as if it’s not clearly Australia’s best metal band.
(this comment surely won’t end up being controversial either lol)

While I accept that Baby metal is metal, it’s also manufactured corpo rock.
Metallica is on the map too, so they’re in good company with a like group.
Baby Metal is an idol group which … yeah, that’s the genre
I’m not a fan of Metallica, but they did emerge from a grassroots music scene.
