*Punjabi confession* moderators

Huge applause to the moderators
Imagine getting banned for giving advice. That’s the level of moderation over there. Instead of explaining which rule I actually broke, they started judging me for having decent English and communication skills. I literally asked them one simple question, What exactly did I do wrong?, and never got an answer. As far as I know, a confession means admitting something, sharing a secret, a mistake, or telling a personal story. But apparently, over there it’s more about judging Instagram influencers, what they’re wearing, how they look, and what they’re doing 🤣🤣🤣
So honestly, I’d suggest people confess here on Punjabi Gen Z instead of going there. At this point they should just rename their subreddit to Punjabi Judgements, because that’s what it feels like.

Punjab 95- SATLUJ

movie truly showed how brutally Punjab suffered during that dark period. Watching how our own people were forced to turn against each other was heartbreaking. There seemed to be no humanity, no justice, no human rights only fear and unimaginable pain.
It feels like an open wound that has never really healed. It makes you think about everything

Punjab went through, about an entire generation that was almost wiped out, and about the countless mothers who never got to see their sons return home. God only knows how many families were left shattered forever.

The first two hours were emotional, but the last 40 minutes completely broke me. I couldn’t hold back my tears. Watching Kuljeet speak the truth, despite everything, was one of the most powerful and heartbreaking parts of the film.

The director deserves immense credit for having the courage to bring such a painful chapter of history to the screen. And Diljit, as always, disappeared into his character. His performance felt so genuine and heartfelt that you could feel every emotion with him.

I also really admired Arjun Rampal’s performance. He carried his role with strength and conviction, portraying the CBI officer with such honesty and determination to bring the truth before the courts. Jagdeep Sandhu was equally outstanding as Kuljeet. His performance was deeply moving and stayed with me long after the film

this is a film that makes you feel, reflect, and ask difficult questions. It left a heavy weight on my heart.

Are some Punjabis forgetting how to acknowledge each other?

Me and my family live in Northern Europe. Compared to countries like the UK or Italy, there aren’t many Punjabis where we live. In our small, beautiful town, there are only 3-4 Punjabi families that I know of, and we’re all very close almost like one big family.
Yesterday I found out that a new Punjabi family had moved in next door. I was genuinely excited because it’s always nice to meet fellow Punjabis when there aren’t many around.
One thing my town is known for is how friendly everyone is. People greet each other, stop for a quick chat, and sometimes a five-minute conversation turns into an hour. It’s just the local culture.
When I saw the new neighbors outside, I could hear them speaking Punjabi, so I walked over, smiled, and said, “Sat Sri Akal.” Instead of greeting me back, they just looked at me with a strange expression. I thought maybe they hadn’t heard me, so I said it again. They stared at me again and then went inside without saying a word.

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. I wasn’t expecting an invitation for tea or anything just a simple acknowledgment or greeting.

Now I just feel like I shouldn’t have done that.

Help me out guys 🙏🏼

So hey guys,
I’m in a long distance relationship, and thankfully we’ve been together for more than a year now. My boyfriend is a very hardworking man who’s putting all his time and effort into building a better future for us. I’m a medical student, so we’re both usually very busy.
Because of that, we don’t get much time to talk. I’m occupied with my studies, and he used to be busy working extra shifts. Right now, though, the situation is a little different. I’m on my summer holidays, and he recently lost his job. I truly believe he’ll find another one soon because he’s very skilled. Even now, he’s busy handling many responsibilities and trying to sort everything out.
It’s not like he doesn’t make time for me. He calls me in the morning to wake me up, and we talk for about 15-20 minutes. Around lunchtime, he checks if I’ve had breakfast or lunch, and we talk for another 10-15 minutes. At night, he asks how my day was, what I had for dinner, what the best part of my day was, and how my family is doing. Then he stays on the call with me until I fall asleep, which is usually around three hours. Even on days when he’s extremely busy, he still tries to spend at least 30 minutes talking to me.
I know he has responsibilities, stress, and a lot on his mind. But despite knowing all that, I still want to talk to him all day. I know I’m probably too attached or obsessed. I have hobbies too- I knit, crochet, watch TV series, and try to keep myself busy but I still find myself constantly wanting to talk to him.
Sometimes I forget about his responsibilities and stress, and I end up wanting more of his time. I know this annoys him occasionally, and I don’t want to be unfair to him.
Can anyone please tell me how I can stop feeling this way? Whenever we can’t talk, I get anxious, start panicking, and my mood suddenly changes. My parents have even started noticing it.
I’d really appreciate any advice from people who’ve experienced something similar. Thank you.

Anyone else think Gurshabad doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves?

Every now and then, you come across an artist whose music just feels different, and for me, that’s Gurshabad.
He doesn’t seem to get mentioned as often as many mainstream Punjabi artists, but the quality of his music is consistently amazing. His voice has a unique warmth to it, and there’s a simplicity and honesty in his songs that makes them easy to connect with. Instead of following every trend, he seems to focus on making music that actually lasts.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

I’ve been noticing lately that the Punjabi music sub is slowly turning more into a ragebait or hate driven space instead of feeling like an actual community for music discussion.People can barely share their opinions anymore without getting trolled, mass downvoted, or attacked just because someone disagrees with them. Instead of healthy conversations, it feels like a lot of users are only here for upvotes and karma farming rather than genuine discussions about music.For example, talking about albums ENIGMA AND BERMUDA TRIANGLE once in a while to hear different perspectives is completely fine. Comparisons are normal too. But when the same topics, same debates, and same fan wars get posted every single day, it starts making the sub feel repetitive and stale.At this point, it honestly feels like most discussions revolve around only a handful of artists: Arjan, Karan, Hustinder, Navaan, Cheema Y, Prem Dhillon, Shubh, and of course Sidhu. Nothing against these artists at all they’re talented and deserve the appreciation but Punjabi music is way bigger than just a few mainstream names. There are so many underrated singers, producers, writers, old-school classics, experimental sounds, folk influences, underground artists, and regional styles that barely get talked about because people are too busy repeating the same arguments and comparisons over and over again. And the moment someone tries to discuss a different artist or shares an unpopular opinion, people instantly get defensive instead of actually listening. Not every opinion needs to turn into a fan war. Music is subjective. Two people can listen to the same album and walk away feeling completely different things, and that’s totally okay.

A real music community should be about discovering new sounds, sharing recommendations, debating respectfully, appreciating creativity, and learning from different perspectives. But lately, the vibe feels more focused on toxicity, sarcasm, mocking others, and farming engagement through controversial posts. Honestly, the sub is starting to feel exhausting. The same screenshots, same comparisons, same who’s better debates, same hate disguised as opinions, and the same fanbases going in circles again and again. After a while it pushes people away from even wanting to participate.
A lot of genuine music listeners are quietly leaving because the environment no longer feels welcoming or interesting. And that’s honestly sad because this community has the potential to become one of the best places for Punjabi music discussions if people were a little more open minded and respectful.

I’m not posting this to target any artist or hurt anyone’s sentiments. I’m just saying maybe it’s time to bring some balance back. Appreciate your favorite artists, but also leave space for different opinions and different artists. Not every disagreement has to be treated like a personal attack. Let’s make the sub feel like a music community again instead of a nonstop battle between fanbases. Let’s talk about new projects, underrated talent, production, lyrics, live performances, old Punjabi music, regional sounds, and artists who deserve more recognition.

Punjabi music is evolving so much right now, but the discussions around it still feel stuck in the same loop.

Some singers make hits. Some create memories.

Kamal Heer songs still connect with the heart because they carry real Punjabi culture, emotions, and poetry.
My whole childhood was filled with Kamal Heer’s songs because my father was a huge fan of him. From listening to his music in the car to hearing it play on speakers at home, his songs became a part of my life. Even today, Kamal Heer holds a special place in my playlist and in my heart.

Which song is your all-time favorite?
