Loona is having Bollywood elements for their comeback, will it be CA?

I don't feel offended by it. But yeah I don't represent the majority so I can understand the other pov also.

Overseas Indians most probably be the ones that are affected, since they are the victims of these mockeries constantly irl.

Lorde released her single "Solar Power" some few hours ago.

And it contained the line, "I'm kinda like a prettier Jesus"

And i thought to myself if this was kpop the lashing she would have been receiving on twitter...

People have the right to be angry

I usually don't feel offended by CA . But won't lie when I see a compilation of all the idols included doing mudras or head bobbing, I do feel that SK in general has no idea what Indian Culture is. It's not only LOONA but top groups as well. and I haven't seen a single idol apologizing for it.

On the other hand, I see Bollywood making movies and including a lot of CA in it. But that doesn't mean what Overseas Indians go through can be ignored that's why I will not force my pov on them.

Bollywood songs can be fun as hell. I'm damn excited for it, i dont give a rip what kinda head moves they do, it's just girls dancing ffs. As long as they're not out there mocking Indians for their accents, appearance, language, etc, they can do whatever they want.

CA should be criticised regardless of where it comes from. One cannot be justified for the other. I constantly criticise CA if done in Indian movies( i don’t really follow that much with BW). It’s not just in SK, all over the world, Indians have been subjected to ridicule regarding their culture and religion.

anybody can be offended by anything

the question is will a large majority of people get offended and complain loud enough for something to be done about it

"Hah, Spoken like a true politician"

I hope these "Indians" use this energy to spread awareness about some ACTUAL problems this country is facing rather than crying about all of this...

I am a classical dancer and no classical dancer or professional cares if these mudras are being used or not...(unless they are on stan twitter and are only looking for things to hate others on)

Wow, Kaikat. Which dance style in particular?

maybe one day my friend

Yup.

As long as they don’t go on variety shows and do some weird tunuk tunuk type mockery because they decided to do this concept.

Being musically inspired by Bollywood or even sampling those songs is okay with me.

I have professional training in Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi and Kathak

but I can do all 8 forms to a good extent

And I was one of those fillers when some person backed out at the last moment belonging from general Western Dance group. . My dance institute used to experiment a lot.

One of my favorites movies that no one has ever heard of is The Guru starring Heather Graham and Jimi Distry. It's such a guilty pleasure and the ending was so cute and emo. And check out the addictive Bollywood style ending.

Why does this feel like slander

CA is my favorite state so hopefully Loona's next comeback will be very much CA.

Yes that happens a lot lmaooo

I have filled in for styles not in my expertise too... XD

I remember once preparing to dance for a sufi performance cause someone backed out.. was fun though

Nothing comes close to the golden coast

already?

Where do you draw the line between appreciation/inspiration and appropriation?

I'm pretty sure the ones that are gonna be angry aren't going to be Indian.

Bollywood and the topic aside i have mixed opinions about CA itself. I only disagree with it if that aspect of my culture is done distastefully or mockingly. I can get behind it if it’s done out of respect

what movie was it from and who said it

Deathly Hallows Part 1...

Voldemort said to Pius (One of his followers who later becomes Minister of Magic after Voldemort kills the previous one) in the beginning right after the title of the movie appears...

I can do Kathak a little....

BTW, That's amazing.
