My Rosh Hayeshiva didn’t ban Jewish music. It’s muttar. It’s just not refined enough for his ears, and maybe one day I’ll reach that stage. Others have expressed this idea more strongly, and felt it was unrefined enough to ban. Bans are counterproductive and weaken kavod haTorah, as was clearly evident here.
In the meantime, I like Lipa’s music. “Fan” and “fanboy” are shnei dinim nifradim. I can’t tell you Lipa minutiae like a fanboy. Being a blog commenter is much more fraught with danger, with kefira, krum hashkafos, machlokes, sinas chinam etc all expressed despite the yeoman-like best efforts of the mods. In other words, one is prishus, one is prishus-nekiyus, to use Mesilas Yesharim terminology.
I still play a basic rpg game, but I’m not a fanboy of them. Having to balance a job, a family, and a night seder means not much time for the gamez anymore. Life moves on, and you exchange one shtus for another.
