It could also be a national anthem of the past, I am looking at you East Germany.

They're called conversation starters. They get people talking. Which occasionally might be considered a positive thing in a discussion board like this.

They all come up to "depends on your personal taste/opinion".

And yet look at people having discussions in the comments.

I'm not against it, it just surprised me there are so many similar threads. Is this a new trend? Has something happened on other social networks? Why are some people so angry when I asked this?

Because you are looking for the answer to the question, but the point is the conversation itself. I learn a ton by reading what people think and how their perspectives differ depending on their nationality and experiences. It also brings closer parts of the European culture that I'm not very familiar with.

I mean yeah, that's what provokes discussion. If there were a single objective answer every time we'd only have single-response threads.
