WHY NOVELTY METAL BANDS ARE AWFUL (or awesome???)

Thanks Allform for sponsoring! Click here https://www.allform.com/punkrock for 20% off the sofa of your choice! We chose the 3-seat in black, with chaise.
Are novelty metal bands any good, or just a gimmick? I look at a few example like Ghost, Steel Panther, Gwar, Tenacious D, Okilly Dokilly, Dethklok, Sleep Token, Alestorm, Babymetal, Mac Sabbath, and more.
