How Nepathya, ‘One Piece’, and ‘The Office’ helped Gen Z raise their voices

In a movement where voices mattered more than weapons, Gen Z united through music, anime, and memes.

The day before the Gen Z protest was supposed to take place, Nepal’s beloved band Nepathya shared a clip of them performing the hit song, ‘ Gaun Gaun Bata Utha ’. The next morning, when the hopeful youth gathered at Maitighar Mandala, the same song was being played through a loudspeaker. This created an energy that was seen and felt, as the youth marched forward demanding change.
