Indonesian netizens are legendary for their meme creation. The language of the internet— Bahasa Gaul (slang)—evolves weekly. Words like gabut (having nothing to do), baper (bawa perasaan / carrying feelings), and salting (salah tingkah / awkward) have entered the national lexicon.

Artists like Rich Brian, NIKI, and Warren Hue have achieved international stardom, performing at major Western festivals like Coachella.
