What's wrong with generation Z?

Me : I am not a big fan of k-pop or BTS. ( Note my lord - I didn't use any word like hate and I answered her politely )

I quietly nodded as I didn't want to stretch the conversation.

Not that someone will say I like Tony Kakkar’s music and I will keep quiet ¯⁠\⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯.

What is price of the "liberal celebrities" e.g. Bill Maher, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Kimmel, Desi Lydic etc. to join the great MAGA movement like Stephen Colbert who wanted to European ambassadorship to turn back on "the Left"?

But she got triggered

Anyways, yesterday I met her.

I was talking to her. I don't know how this came up -

There is a girl in my neighbourhood. She is 2 years younger than me. I know her from past 5 years. If I describe my relationship with her, it's something between hello hi and close one. Though, earlier, we were very close to eachother. But my interaction with her has lessened during the recent years.

I like KK, someone might like Arijit Singh. Cool! Everybody has a different music taste.

I was a little nervous but excited to meet her.

I've tried to write a Kindle eBook and have published it on Amazon. But the thing is that I haven't made any sales yet even though I published it nearly 6 months ago. How do I get people to purchase it?

She : What!! You don't like BTS. Come on didi. I didn't expect this from you. Aap bhi Arijit Singh ke gaane sunte ho.

My mother had told me that she was running a high fever the day before. So she wanted me to go and see her.

Now, I was a little irritated. Everybody has a “preference”. You can't impose your liking on anyone. And why degrading your own music.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

Me : Obviously, what's bad in it.

Is it a gen-z problem? I don't know. But I have seen many people fighting for their “idols” ( not just k-pop idols but in general ). And nowadays people get easily offended.

You don't even know them personally, you haven't met them , but you are ready to fight and argue over them. How dumb is that! And she has the audacity to shame me just because I don't listen to k-pop.

Now, obsession over something or someone ( upto a healthy level ) is common during teenage and I understand it. Two years back, I was obsessed with Slayy Point ( a YouTube channel ). I used to watch their videos all day. I admired them a lot and I wanted to meet them because I found them relatable. Though, I still watch their videos, but the obsession is gone.

She : Ohh didi, you are a kid. Don't you know k-pop is famous worldwide. Like listen, they are amazing. No one can beat them. Hindi songs are nothing in front of them.

Appreciating any music, be it American, Korean, British, Japanese, Tanzanian is totally fine. There's no issue in it. But disrespecting any other person's choice is unacceptable.
