JAKARTA - Ungu, which was formed in the 1990s, has reached the peak of a career in the 2000s period. Dozens of albums with dozens of hits made bands consisting of Pasha (vocals), Enda (guitar), Oncy (guitar), Makki (bass), and Rowman (drums) known as the top band of the country.

But the question is, did Gen Z hear their works? Is Ungu trying to introduce himself to Gen Z?

Oncy said that Ungu personnel certainly adapt to the current listeners of dark music among young people. But what is their focus is still producing new works.

"Yes, follow, adapt with new things, we can still learn about the activities that are still in on social media. The rest is just mentally steel, making works with a solid team and just waiting for results," said Oncy when met at the Trinity Optima Production office, South Jakarta last week.

"Yes, because that's the case, the concept of music is like that. We make it, and we never know whether people like it or not. But we try our best, mixing is looking for a good one, mastering we look for a good one. If you have sustenance, the studio is also the best one," said Enda.

"But we have tried our best, including how we can be liked by Generation Z" children.

Even so, Pasha realized the difficulties of musicians from her generation to follow the desired musical style. The reason is, they also have listeners from the previous generation.

But it's difficult. Because when we tried to change the concept, traditionally we protested. For example, we tried to enter the Gen Z area, whose Gen X felt 'How come? We liked the old one'. It's taking a break, "said Pasha.

"I don't think we have to. We don't have to force something like how to (follow) Gen Z. Because this song is for everyone, it's just who can enjoy it," concluded the Ungu player.
