ALAY!!! Text Generator

Check out this website I found at alaygenerator.co.cc

Ha ha ha ha, boleh juga karya pembuat website ini. Serius banget. Alay sebetulnya bukan orang kampungan yang berasal dari kampung. Justru kebanyakan Alay adalah orang Kota yang berlagak keren tapi malah jadi kampungan. Yah, kayak nulis SMS pakai huruf besar, kecil, malah pakai angka.
Salut buat pembuat Alay Text Generator.

Believe it or not, I actually got my fair share of being exposed to alays, especially since Jakarta is a very big city, with huge cultural and social class diversity.

Here's my observation so far:

(1) They can be easily spotted by their trademarked costume: low-waist jeans, chains, flip-flops, and hooded sweatshirts.

(2) Somehow they just loooove to wear hooded sweatshirt despite Jakarta is 83°F -hot.

(3) They love to swear for absolutely no apparent reason. Hey, I swear too, but I least I do have the reason.

(4) When it goes to music, they listen to the apparently same kind of local bands: Peterpan, ST 12, Kangen Band, Paddy, The Massive, Samson's, and other trashy music typically played at KFC.

(4 a) While we're at it (local bands, I mean), I don't think they listen to the likes of The Groove or Maliq & D'Essentials. Apparently, this kind of music is beyond them.

(5) Etiquette and manners are simply beyond them.

(6) They usually ride underbone motorbikes. Carelessly, of course.

So again, based on the observations above, I think alays are the Indonesian equivalent of chavs and townies.

US, Brits, Indonesia... it doesn't really matter. Stupid people do exist everywhere.
