I mean, because metal didn't have enough sub-genres, right?
So, for "Karen Metal," we have YouTuber Andre Antunes to thank. Antunes, an incredible guitarist, usually posts unique, amped-up versions of classical music on YouTube.

Will "Karen Metal" really become a thing? Years from now, will it be one of the most popular sub-genres of metal music? Time will tell.
Watch Antunes in action below.
