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.
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.
Not that someone will say I like Tony Kakkar’s music and I will keep quiet ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯.
I was talking to her. I don't know how this came up -
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 quietly nodded as I didn't want to stretch the conversation.

I was a little nervous but excited to meet her.
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.
But she got triggered
Why would my ex block me after I blocked him?
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?
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.
Anyways, yesterday I met her.
I like KK, someone might like Arijit Singh. Cool! Everybody has a different music taste.
Now, I was a little irritated. Everybody has a “preference”. You can't impose your liking on anyone. And why degrading your own music.
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.
Can you turn 150 pages into a 5 minute presentation before a meeting?
Me : Obviously, what's bad in it.
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.
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.
Why are Republican politicians so afraid to oppose Trump?
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 )
