In early 2024 a short video titled “Kentu – Anak SMP Jatim” resurfaced on Indonesian social‑media platforms, rapidly accumulating millions of views, comments, and derivative content. This paper investigates the updated version of the video, focusing on its origins, the dynamics of its virality, and the broader implications for youth culture, digital literacy, and regional identity in East Java (Jawa Timur). Employing a mixed‑methods design—content analysis of the video and its comment threads, semi‑structured interviews with 32 stakeholders (students, teachers, parents, and local journalists), and a quantitative examination of engagement metrics across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram—we identify three core mechanisms that drive the phenomenon: (1) Narrative resonance with adolescent experiences of school life, (2) Algorithmic amplification through platform-specific recommendation systems, and (3) Participatory remix culture that transforms the original clip into memes, educational parodies, and local advocacy tools. The findings reveal both positive outcomes (enhanced digital creativity, community solidarity) and challenges (misinterpretation of content, cyberbullying, and distraction from formal learning). Recommendations for educators, platform designers, and policy‑makers are offered to harness the constructive potential of viral youth media while mitigating its risks.
Keywords: viral video, digital culture, adolescent media consumption, East Java, TikTok, participatory remix, digital literacy.
