Babymetal enter the world in 2010 as a subgroup or club of the idol group Sakura Gakuin creating a new genre of music their producer dubbed Kawaii metal. (cute metal) Given the nature of music fans naturally there's been disagreement among heavy metals fans as to whether Babymetal qualified as metal or were just pretenders.
Perhaps it's best to break these groups down into various, gasp, categories and proceed from there.
The first group is the Twilight Zone. People who believe they've been caught up in a never ending loop of despair and uncertainty as they ride the train that never seems to go anywhere but in a circle. Perhaps they're asleep having a nightmare or their trapped in a parallel dimension unable to return to their know reality. Whatever it is, fear has gripped them leaving them unable to cope.
Next is the Wraith group, who so fearful of change and innovation in music they believe Babymetal will not only suck out their life force but the life force of heavy metal as well. One can only live in abject fear for so long before retreating into a fortified bunker with their comfort food heavy metal records living out the rest of their lives as misanthropes.
Finally the last and most dangerous group: Babymetal are the Borg. We are Babymetal lower your musical basis and prejudices and surrender to us. We will add your distinctive musical genres and listening habits to our own. Resistance is futile. (The above is stolen and completely paralysed from Star Trek The Next Generation.)
Yes, we all have differing musical tastes. No music is fan or music genre is monolithic so, if you favour one over the other so be it. Just let those who enjoy that music which is different from yours do so in tranquillity or in the case of heavy metal loudly.
