Alien interviews

If strangers can ask you to 'rate yourself out of 10', why shouldn't an alien? At least that's what it feels like to watch the Alien Interviews on Instagram.

The world is such that strolling through a park, lingering outside a theatre, or hanging out at Marine Drive comes with a subtle fear, not out of anxiety, but out of the nagging worry that someone might appear with a microphone, asking you questions. From 'how much we earn' to 'what we think is a red flag in a relationship', it feels like a reality show you didn't audition for, where you either become an internet celebrity or turn into a viral meme.  We have multiple YouTube channels and Instagram pages that thrive on this street-style content, interacting with and receiving reactions from people of all walks of life. The content style is so addictive that even our regular friends' meetup sees someone whipping out an imaginary mic and channelling their inner walkspop host!

While we have come to terms with strangers putting us on the spot, can you imagine an alien trying to do the same? As a generation that has grown up watching an alien like Jaddoo dancing and E.T. phone home, the idea of them living among us isn't just sci-fi but prime social media material. Thanks to AI and a generous dose of internet imagination, we can see these outworldly beings in our very regular, fun settings, with social media content being one of them. One such gem is the Instagram page ‘Alien Interviews’ which shows us a very fictional world where we are co-existing with Aliens, with some taking content creation as a full-time job. Be it as random as 'if humans will date aliens' or 'one habit they learned from humans on Earth', we see the extraterrestrial host asking Earthlings chaotic questions, fitting perfectly with the society, one Reel at a time.
