For Indonesian youth, doing sport is not only for health reason, but the biggest part is because
it is a part of lifestyle, it is an urban need and they want to be exist.
Some conventional sports such as badminton that considered as one of the most popular sports
in Indonesia is now declining in terms of younger athlete regeneration. it does not have social
values that lifestyle sports could offer.
Social values here means that when youth do certain sports could become their fashion
statement or attribute. They could even feel significant when they post it in social media.
These are the urban lifestyle sports that gained popularity in 2016:

Actually the trend of vlogging or Video
Blogging started since early 2015. However,
the vlog makers or they called it vloggers are
significantly increasing in 2016.
Either vlogging in YouTube or Snapchat, they
create a free story related with their style or
attribute they want to be associated with.
For example one vlogger focus on fashion,
the other on food & culinary and most of the
vlogger are telling about their daily lives
One of the famous vlogger in Indonesia is
Kaesang Pangarep, the son of Indonesian
President, his vlog channel is PILOK and he
often include President Jokowi in his video.

Pokemon Go is the game released by
Nintendo. What makes it unique is this
game requires you to get off your
coach or bed and go outside, either
walking, running or you can even using
your bike.
The mission is to find the closest Pokemon
for you to catch, with the helps of GPS
of course. So in the screen you will see
yourself as an avatar, then when you
walk, your avatar will also walk to the
point directed in the game.

However this is the one thing that hit and run in
2016 trend for Indonesian youth; it was a huge hit
for the first few months after it launched but now it
seems to dissolve and replace by another trend.
Only the loyal gamers will still be playing it

Still related with Korean pop culture wave, fashion trend heavily influenced as well.
Choker Necklace is one of them.
I still remember the trend of choker necklace in the early 2000s then after a while it
was replaced by another fashion trend
The korean actress, TV drama star or singer like Kim Taeyeon brought back the trend of
choker necklace. Indonesian selebgram (instagram celebrity) like emilydevita, also
popularize the trend of choker necklace in Indonesia.

If you checked your instagram or
path these days, you will most likely
to see this kind of video, called
video boomerang. Just like the
name, it replaying back and forth.
The Boomerang app takes bursts of
photos and then stitches them
together into a HD video loop. The
loop starts to play forward but then
plays backward, creating a neat, GIF-
like video. Boomerang videos do not
include audio.

We all know this overnight viral sensations with the
‘toxic’ song "PPAP" or "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen." It
has taken over Asia including Indonesia.
The track is put out by 40 year-old Japanese
comedian Kosaka Daimaou, who goes by the fake
name DJ Pika-Taro.
It's called a "brainwash" because of its repetitive and
catchy lyrics, similar to the trend of Gangnam Style
by PSY a few years ago.

Most of the trends discussed here is like a
repetition of the previous trend, back
in the 1990s or 2000s.
This trend of reverse word belong the 90s
generation and reproduced again in
the past couple of years. it started
with Woles around 2014, the reverse
word of Selow (slow / cool)
The Reverse and Acronym Words of 2016
www.enterthelab.com Youth Laboratory Indonesia
In 2016 the trending words were: Ucul, the reverse word of Lucu
(Funny) or Sokil Gob is Gokil Sob (You’re Crazy in a fun way) and
Takis is Sikat (Go for it!)
Another pattern is acronym words such as ‘Baper’ the abbreviation
of Bawa Perasaan (this word would be weird if translated in
english but the closest one is when someone get a hard feeling
over something).

Talking about the trend in 2016, we surely
do not want to leave this out of the list.
Om Telolet Om (“sir honk the horn sir” in
English) is an Indonesian expression used
to ask bus drivers to honk as they pass by
on the road, many of which are equipped
with novelty musical horns.
In December 2016, videos of people
yelling “om telolet om” a passing bus
drivers began widely circulating online,
leading various electronic music artists to
tweet the Indonesian expression and
remake the expression as well.
