What's wrong with generation Z?

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.

I was a little nervous but excited to meet her.

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 )

Why can't I lose weight?

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

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

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

Why is Eric Clapton so roundly disliked among guitarists?

Anyways, yesterday I met her.

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.

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.

How is it that a computer can generate a captcha but not solve 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.

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.

Me : Obviously, what's bad in it.

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

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

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.

But she got triggered

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.

She : Didi, I love k-pop, especially BTS. They are my life. I don't know why people hate them. They are so sweet types. They are the best. You like them too?

Why do I sweat so much? I’m 17 but I feel like I always need to re-apply deodorant and I am always self-conscious that I smell because I feel sweat under my arms.

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