How difficult is it to socialize in Spain (From a nerdy guy)

I LOVE socialize with people. Know their interests, listen to them or talk to them. But, in Spain, it's in my opinion WAY more difficult. Most of the teens here have some "social rules", and if you don't follow them makes you a weirdo. One of the most important "rule", if we can label it like that, is your taste of music. Flamenco, trap or reaggeton are common genres on spanish teenagers. So, usually, if you listen to pop (for example, in english), or j-pop or any kind of music maybe you'll get ignored or even bullied. Another important topic is the dress code. Girls either dress with black tops with leopard patterns or the most cleanest girl ever, and boys usually dress with sport clothing and clothes that cover your face. If you don't follow that code, again, you can get ignored or bullied. Also, the 14th of october, a 14 y/o girl committed it due the bullying she was suffering. Professors didn't do anything for this poor girl, and I saw they were organizing a student streak due this horrible thing happened. I saw my bullies sharing pictures of her, saying "We need this to stop!! We need that streak!!". But the day of the streak, in a manifestation on Seville, I saw no one of them trying to help. "But Sunny, staying at home is also helping, you're declining your education" Is not helping if you stay sleeping in your house and do the same after then. I found that really disrespectful, even for the poor victim. I'll be realistic, I'm a little bit weird, but honestly that's not a reason to make someone's life horrible. Because I didn't follow this social rules, I was usually bullied like for 15 years (I'm currently 18 y/o). My mental health decreased a lot because of this, and it is a shame that some kids might have to experience this too. I think this also happens in other countries with other standards, but since because I lived in Spain since I was a child, I can only talk about my country. Hope this change someday, and people realize how dangerous and serious is this.

it's not just in Spain, it's practically everywhere and none talks about it unless they themselves are a victim
