What music did you love but felt pressured to abandon, only to rediscover and embrace again later?
That’s a great question! I think many of us have experienced that moment when we felt pressured to conform to popular tastes or the opinions of our peers. For me, it was definitely pop music. In high school, I got caught up in wanting to fit in with my friends who were all into rock and indie genres. I ended up dismissing a lot of catchy pop songs that I secretly loved.
Years later, I found myself revisiting those songs and realizing how much joy they brought me. Artists like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were always on my playlist, but I felt embarrassed admitting it back then. Now, I embrace my love for pop music without hesitation. It’s all about what makes you happy, right? How about you—what music did you feel pressured about?
