Hipdut, or hip-hop dangdut, is a genre that combines the concepts of hip-hop and dangdut. The term hipdut was first introduced through a song titled Garam & Madu, which was released in late 2024.[1] This genre represents the scene subculture in Indonesia, generally characterized by messy hair, baggy pants, beanies, sneakers, and accessories such as necklaces or sunglasses.[2]
History
The hip-hop dangdut genre had actually been developing for a long time after the 2010s, but the term had not yet been coined. Later, the music group NDX AKA introduced the term “hip-hop dangdut” through their Javanese-language songs, which were closely tied to drum beats, flute melodies, and electronic music accompaniment resembling dangdut rhythms.[3]
From 2025, the hipdut genre transformed from a niche fusion to a nationwide sensation, largely fueled by the viral success of Garam & Madu (Sakit Dadaku) by Tenxi, Jemsii, and Naykilla. Released on December 20, 2024, the song combines trap-influenced beats, electronic flair, and dangdut rhythm in a multilingual lyrical style that immediately captured the attention of Gen Z, especially on TikTok and YouTube, where it amassed over 138 million views[a] and topped both the Indonesia and Malaysia music charts.[4]
In early 2025, Indonesian media highlighted how "Garam & Madu" introduced the term hip-dut into public discourse, celebrating it as a fresh, genre-blending trend that resonated deeply with younger audiences.[5][6] The surge didn’t stop there: tracks like "Aku Dah Lupa" by Fadli Hasan II, performed by Zia and Mikky, quickly followed suit—released in February 2025, it racked up over 39 million YouTube views and reinforced hip-dut’s appeal as a catchy and relatable cross-genre expression.[7]
