How do writers choose a setting? Why do fantasy writers choose their setting and scifi their's. Why cyberpunk?

How do you pick a genre? Wtf is a story? How do I write one?

Books for virgins that best encapulates the daily struggle of being surrounded by people who all have sex with eachother but cast you out. Like when all the boys in your class had a sleepover on the weekend and were all talking about it right in front of you. And you felt rude if you asked why you didnt come so you just stayed silent. And then you cried to your mummy and she argued and begged with the chad of the class's mum to let you sleepover even though they lied and said they were doing Halloween decorations.
