Alay Music in Indonesia

Today, there are many Indonesia music which contain lilting lyrics and arrangement with mediocre language lyrics. People call it with Alay Music. Usually the listeners of alay music are teenagers with labile and wishy-washy characters, and also they tend to make themselves in confusion or Indonesian people like to call it galau. Here are some examples of alay band with alay song:






Kangen Band


ST 12


Wali

Beside of alay band with alay music, in Indonesia there are also some alay music programs that are aired everyday in the morning. One of those music program is Dahsyat on RCTI. 



If we often watch Dahsyat we will realize that some of the spectators behind the hosts are familiar to us. Those familiar faces are paid spectators who have an agent. They asked to make the program become 'interesting' to watch with move their hands up and downs like they are washing clothes. They also have an agent who coordinate them to do everything to jazz the program up. I assumed that the spectators are teenagers who should go to school or campus in the morning. Instead of go to school or campus, they dance or do awkward movement to jazz the program up, but they are low paid. Are they not feel ashamed?
