What to do if you like Nahubo

There have been few songs in the history of this country that united as many people as Coke Studio Bangla's Nahubo has.  

People on social media have been united in their hatred for the song. Complaints ranged from having to read three sets of subtitles, to the song just not being good. There has also been outrage that a channel calling itself Bangla are not featuring enough songs in the language.

But what if you actually liked the song? How are you going to show your face in public, or argue its case.

The following are a few tips:

GO FOR HIGHER STUDIES

To keep up with, or even have a hope of winning, arguments about the song on social media, you need higher education. Make sure you study hard and get enrolled in one of the leading private universities in Dhoka. This is not an ad but we suggest you go to Private University Pvt limited which will soon build a campus of their own, according to an article published on Shout.

"My husband is a corporate sellout, so he always listens to songs released by this capitalist venture without expending any thought to how the artists are being treated. I want nothing to do with this as I am a left-leaning activist. As such I have invested in the latest Universe S earbuds for him," says Naseka Sohan, a working woman.

MAKE SURE YOUR PARTNER IS GENEROUS

"My husband is a corporate sellout, so he always listens to songs released by this capitalist venture without expending any thought to how the artists are being treated. I want nothing to do with this as I am a left-leaning activist. As such I have invested in the latest Universe S earbuds for him," says Naseka Sohan, a working woman.

Naseka's advice maybe suitable for many couples to ensure they do not have to participate in their partner's musical choices.

FIND SIMILARITIES BETWEEN NASEK NASEK AND NAHUBO

Nasek Nasek, the first song by Coke Studio Bangla, was an immense hit. It was also sung by Animes Roy, the same guy who sung Nahubo. That was also a rock song. So, if you find enough similarities between the two songs, you can point out to people poo-pooing on Nahubo that they were not being inclusive and were jealous that a non-Bangla speaking person was the first artist to be feature twice on Coke Studio Bangla.

PLAY THE MISOGYNY CARD

Remind every critic that Daughter of Coastal is a woman and they were unable to take the fact that a woman could perform rap, a music form considered a masculine one. Call them misogynists.

FORGET ABOUT IT

Or, you can just remember that it is supposed to be subjective and forget the whole thing. There will be another song soon.
