In a report entitled Yang Dicintai Gen Z Indonesia on Instagram, created based on internal Instagram and Populix data, the Meta-owned social media platform estimates that there will be three shining trends in 2023, namely culinary and tourism, local songs and dances and web 3.

According to Instagram's internal data, Gen Z uses and shares more local content, in the form of songs and dances, compared to foreign content for Reels.

Meanwhile, Populix also found that 1 in 2 Gen Zs had used Yura Yunita's World Tipi-Tipu song and a third of them liked the song Ojo Compared to the one sung by the little dancer Farel Prayoga.

Gen Z on Instagram also likes the song Full Senyu Sayang Dari dari Evan Loss, Be careful on the street by Tulus and I Love Mama Mantu from Sutena Month.

In addition, the Mendung Tanpo Udan dance also succeeded in attracting the attention of Instagram users in Indonesia.

Instagram also predicts content about culinary and tourism will still be victorious next year. The majority of the most popular hashtags (gas) in 2022 are related to food and tourism, such as #Bali, #Peson Melikdonesia and #Kuliner.

Meanwhile, according to the Populix survey, 40 percent of Gen Z is active using the three hashtags.
