The "Winnie" thing is a joke about Metallica suing Napster back in the day, and Winnie (same as Napster, but in Japan) was already closed when MTH made this video.
Its funny because this was a song in like the mid 2010s, when Winny or any kind of thing like napster has been dead for like a decade, so its like some band in 2018 making a song about "stop napster, its evil" and being self concious about it and be like "but nobody uses napster, its 2018." which was what the last minute or so was about.
Now that you've gotten to know Maximum The Hormone, you should also take a look at Hanabie, who started out as a Maximum The Hormone cover band and also has a lot of changes in tempo, style and genre in their songs. We Love Sweets or Otaku Lovely Densetsu are good to start with. And of course more MTH.
Maximum The Hormone are just awesome. We used to think SOAD made wonderfully crazy music, then we met MTH. If you like such complex and confusing music, you should definitely give Hanabie a listen too. And if you want complex and confusing rock, then watch the music video for the song Spiderweb by the band BRATS, their last and most experimental song.
I'm already apologizing for the long text, lol. The song 'Alien' by Japanese band Maximum The Hormone is an explosion of energy and social criticism. The lyrics, full of metaphors and cultural references, address themes such as corruption, hypocrisy and despair in a modern society. The band is known for its unique style that mixes metal, punk and elements of Japanese pop music, creating a chaotic and intense sound that reflects well the messages contained in its lyrics. The repetition of the word 'Stop!' at the end of the song, especially in 'Stop winny upload!', it can be seen as a cry of desperation and an urgent request to stop something harmful. 'Winny' is file-sharing software that has been associated with several controversies in Japan, including privacy issues and piracy. The insistence on stopping the upload may symbolize the need to stop the spread of harmful information or the perpetuation of destructive behaviors.
Glad you enjoyed the recommendation, let me explain at least the last part. Winny was the Napster file share in Japan. It had been dead for years when they made the video. They are making fun of bands who were pissed about it. The whole anime part was a condemnation of bands selling out and making pop music for hits and getting rich. Just like those pissed at Winny. The conversation was the drummer, Nao telling the vocalist, Daiske that Winny was already long dead and he was scaring the kids. The older lady was Nao telling him he was old, that was his mom. Like I said earlier many of their vids are just gone, record company pulled them. I will try to find a couple more that are bangers and link here. First closing song to the Death Note Anime, about a guy finding a book which if he writes your name in it you die the song is Zetsubou Billy: ruclips.net/video/zOFouG0Zrd0/видео.htmlsi=DobfCGlFEZKFAqfh Nemophila also did a great cover of it here: ruclips.net/video/2Q3fyW4FnJY/видео.htmlsi=P3sGz_7wLdUKOQBI , Nemohila also covered the song Shimi here: ruclips.net/video/R6Vw-QJp6YY/видео.htmlsi=sWTTBEmLgvmrf4uO and lastly the song Maximum the Hormone: ruclips.net/video/MmfUyyUL07A/видео.htmlsi=4yW6iTvSGaxEZkuo

"what is this music video?" Don't ask questions its Maximum the Hormone
The "Winnie" thing is a joke about Metallica suing Napster back in the day, and Winnie (same as Napster, but in Japan) was already closed when MTH made this video.
Finally!! Someone that refers Aphex Twin when they see Maximum the Ryu's head superimposed on that kid.

I have a weirder Japanese metal band for you called AILIFDOPA. Try the song “Machu Picchu”
I'm gonna check it out lol

So not metal, but punk. Otoboke Beaver "Don't light my Fire" is crazy AF. All female punk band from Japan.
