    Couple years ago I listened to a single track by Poppy as a joke, it was too much. Now she's one of my most favorite artists. While I ignore stuff from the "That Poppy" era, everything that came afterwards is pure gold.
    Oh, and Ennaria blew my face off with Monstarrr, i fuckin can't wait for her debut album to come out. Hyperpop/deathcore mix, who would have thought ( besides Ennaria that is ) it's gonna be that good.

    as a huge scene queen fan since her first EPs dropped, her concerts have been the safest ive felt at a show in ages. my first time crowdsurfing was to her & set it off and my first time moshing in the pit was with her & rivals. im incredibly grateful for what she's done for feminism in metal and disability advocacy in the music scene in general (she's very vocal about performing with POTs). "the pop bits are pop and the metal bits are metal" is definitely the best way to put it.

    It's also the first time I hear from scene queen and what I heard so far made me curious. I would consider myself a 6 feet tall metalpunk- head that is shitting bolts made of steel🤦‍♂️😝 so I would definitely wear pink merch from a band like Scene Queen if the songs can hook me up 🤘(even if I look like an even fatter 🐖 afterwards😬) Sometimes I feel that especially a lot from my generation (74) have some kind of gatekeeper mentality, what's very sad. I love so many different Band and genre's that I think that someone with an attitude like that misses a lot of really cool opportunities, but I guess that is and always will be the price for being narrow minded🤷‍♂️

    a good video!!! i may not like the title that feels like rage bait, (even though it was answered at the end), but I am glad to hear from people who like scene queen!! I also dislike MILF, I don't like country at all, but 18+ and pink cocaine are my favourite songs so far by her, and it speaks a lot to the style and stuff she's contributing to. Someone also mentioned Ennaria, I love her too. CORPSE as well. I like the artists that put a twist on their music, instead of necessarily one genre. I don't think I'll ever like completely metal music. But it's nice to enjoy sometimes. And I think it's nice. Does that make me a true metal-head, no, but like, it makes me able to diversify my taste, and I feel like that's a good thing.

Like, she definitely knew she was gonna get a lot of hate from metalheads. She might get a few views from pop lovers, but that's probably not really target demographic. Took a lot of guts, she's metal af. Especially exposing the BS misogyny she faced but still advocating sexual freedom. So much respekk from me.
    As for pop music parts? Electric Callboy is already doing that basically, and doing extremely well.

    Personally I enjoy scene queen quite a bit. The juxtaposition is part of the appeal, but she is also exactly what she says on the tin. She's taken metalcore and drunk (specifically Millionaires style) and mashed it together into something great. She's empowering and feminist which is something the original "scene" was the exact opposite of. Wonder why she is so great? Look at the lengthy list of sexual allegations and misogynistic lyrics of mid 2000-2010s "scene" bands. I appreciate you making this video.

    I think that bolder genre hybrids like these are the healthiest, most exciting and best thing that have happened to the metal scene in a long, looong time. Metal with its various sub-genres used to be my main go-to music for most of my life, but its relative predictability and the widespread musically conservative mindset within the community pushed me away to explore other genres.
    And pop, much to my surprise at the time, has offered me some of the most mind-bending, deep, progressive, and experimental listening experiences I've ever had. It's a common misconception that pop music must be the antithesis of alternative music. It can be just as aggressive and noisy as metal, it can be just as challenging to get into for casual radio listeners and metalheads alike. The goal of pop music isn't always to be easily digestible, despite etymologically stemming from the term "popular". Look at artists like Björk, Caroline Polachek, Dorian Electra, Charli XCX, Jockstrap or Superorganism and pay attention to the intricacies of their music making. You might not find it all enjoyable at first, but it's hard to deny its artistic value in breaking new ground, if you're openminded enough to accept that it will confront you with musical and lyrical themes you haven't appreciated (yet).
    Musical preference is a matter of choice and challenging yourself with sufficient confrontation, I think.
    Now, there's NOTHING wrong with sticking with more traditional metal, but dang, does it feel great to enjoy whatever you can!
    Genre-bending artists like Poppy, Igorrr, öOoOoOoOoOo or Death Grips haven't taken away from my pleasure in listening metal- they've reawakened and added to it. And to answer the question if it all has gone too far, I can only say, keep going further. Its existence doesn't erase the music you already like. It only creates a new flavor that people can enjoy. If that's a problem for someone, that's on them. :3

      Either you listened only to American mainstream metal and don't know about European metal scene, or you don't listen to metal at all. SepticFlesh, that's how you reinvent metal and make it fresh without losing any of the sincerity and purity of it.

      @@antona.8659 Most of what I've heard was predictable in terms of genre limitations/experimentation for the sake of purity. Metal has its hybrid forms, but I rarely feel the same sense of novelty that I got from Poppy's "I Disagree" pop/metal album. Or anything in Igorrr's discography, to name an example that does NOT incorporate pop esthetics. I love it, because it's a risky move. It's a stark musical contrast, instead of an accentuation that plays into the obvious strengths that metal has (such as adding an orchestra or folky instruments to make it sound more epic.)
      And sure, let's talk about sincerity!
      If you want to be true to your nature, you'll need to embrace your vulnerable, corny, goofy, curious, playful and "guilty pleasure" side too, because you're a complex being and not everything that defines you is metal.
      Now, if you enjoy metal and pop in equal parts, wouldn't a pop/metal hybrid be the most sincere and self-expressive music you could possibly make?

      Okay I actually listen to some of her songs after watching this video. Whether she's metal or not depends on whether you classify core as metal or not. Most people don't really distinguish them nowadays since punk and metal have been mixing and influencing each other for so long both ways that it's a spectrum with no clear line between them. She's definitely core and heavy enough to be in these murky grey areas that could be or not be classed as metal. BUT THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE POP COMPONENTS TO HET MUSIC. THESE DO NOT AFFECT THE METAL-NESS IF HER MUSIC AT ALL. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF IT AWAY AT ALL. The way she incorporates pop in her metal/core is arguably more raw and aggressive than when bands like Slipknot start singling cute sugary clean vocals choruses after a heavy riff driven stanza. Arguably in case of bands like Slipknot adorable choruses take a lot of the metal-ness from songs like Psychosocial, but nobody will argue they're not metal. Arguing it in her case is even more laughable IMO and is clearly just a matter of prejudice towards the visual aesthetic.

And yet, back in the 80s some of the metal bands like Warrant and Roxx Gang out of Florida would incorporate some banjo and southern rock vibes in some of their songs. Heck, I've heard some southern rock bands that were as heavy as many of the metal acts around. It's all good.

    I've got no problem with this music existing - but it's worth asking what "lane" of music it belongs in.
    There's an uncanny valley between "Metal with Pop elements" and "Pop with Metal elements" - and we are pretty much crossing into the latter. Also - the type of "Metal" in her music is Metalcore which is already a hybrid genre - and the "heavy parts" are hardcore-esque breakdowns - ie. music from the Punk/Hardcore realm, not the Heavy Metal realm.
    Again - there is no issue with this existing but the fact that Metal Hammer push this act as well as Sleep Token so much really puts me off Metal Hammer.
    I don't mind scrolling past music I'm not into but when it gets to the point where it's annoyingly oversaturated with this kind of stuff - I am more inclined to follow other, more "exclusionary" outlets/pages.
    I think if we called this Metal Pop instead of Pop Metal - there would be a bit more of a tolerance for it.
    It's a subgenre of Pop music that includes Metalcore elements, that's fair enough. Why don't we embrace that instead?

    Also you made me want to check out Scene Queen. I've only seen snippets of her Barbie and Ken songs, I liked them but never thought to check her out.

    I've never heard of Scene Queen before this. Kinda curious about it but probably won't check it out right now. It just made me want to go back and listen to Sumo Cyco. I generally gravitate to punk and metal, but as I explore more and more music I see the value of many genres and i love the genre blending that's happening today.

    I recently discovered scene queen. she's killing it! her, babymetal, and poppy are doing the pop metal thing right! It feels very refreshing to do something super different. I'm a music nerd and LOVE metal and hard rock. I love how scene queen is taking advantage of good algorithmic song titles with fun lyrics. metal has taken itself too seriously the last 30 years. this new stuff feels very 80s in spirit of let's have fun and make good music. very refreshing to say the least. this is what music is supposed to be: entertainment and fun! since the late 2000s metal has taken itself waay too seriously and focused on perfection in production and technical skill. while that's necessary, i'd rather have a fun catchy song that is super heavy still (with good meaningful lyrics). Metal started as a performance and theater of the occult. it started about doing shit no one else did. Glad the trend is continuing.
    Personally my dream was to have boy band pop hooks and vocal style with heavy metal. so far I've only collaborated with singer-songwriters on my metal tracks (to be released soon).

    Had I not listened to scene queen before and decided that the Ke$ha vibes were too much for me, you would have succeeded into making me give them a chance. I am a trans lesbian though and from that perspective it's always nice to see LGBTQ people in heavy music representing the community. I personally prefer things that are more consistently harsh and raw, like Uboa, Ada Rook/Black Dresses, Ragana or similar such bands. My home in alternative music is primarily the result of people understanding the pain that comes with being LGBTQ not necessarily be LGBTQ though. I think your average Deathconsciousness enjoyer knows as much about that pain, as other LGBTQ people do. The most at home I've ever felt in a community was while absolutely weeping at Giles Corey live on Roadburn because everyone there felt that, knew that pain if for different reasons, and Dan Barret is still a cis straight dude last I checked.
    Anyway I do apreciate some camp, but if it has to be camp give me something like Rat Castle.

    These bands like bmth or elevtric callboy do attract a different crowd to the metal festivals though. More fratboys ironically and the like.
