Generally no, I am all about metal, but her mix of bubblegum pop and, Idk, nu metal? was something refreshing and her shows have been fun as hell (seen her 3x).

Evanescence and Spiritbox I find too radio friendly and, if I'm being honest, kinda cringy. I understand some folks say the same about Poppy though.

Generally I am all about doom, black, thrash, and traditional metal (and various subgenres). I wouldn't classify any of these ladies under those, though

    I accept that some view the nu-metal and nu-metal adjacent bands like Evanescence from that time period as cringy, but it's hard imo to deny what a great singer Amy Lee is, and how great she did on this song, which I think she carried.
    I personally like quite a few spiritbox songs, but then again, I don't dip my toes too deep in the harder (metal) genres, harder than metalcore anyway. Every now and then I'll hear of a band, like Afsky or Knocked Loose that I really like and go all in on.
    But I am curious why, for example, a song like Cellar Door isn't considered metal by you.

    I'm not somewhere where I can listen to the song right now - I'll give it a listen later - but to be clear I'm not saying they're not metal, just that their style isn't really in any of the metal genres I usually listen to. From what I know vaguely of the band they're metalcore? But I really haven't listened to them much myself and this is just from what I've heard from others.
