Genjer-Genjer | ꦒꦺꦚ꧀ꦗꦺꦂꧏ (Genjers) is an Banyuwangi Folksong in the Osing language, created in the 40's by Muhammad Arief, the song itself is intended as an insinuation on the Japanese occupation of Indonesia. At that time, the condition of the Banyuwangi people were miserable, they were starving, so much so that are forced to eat genjer, a vegetable that is often used to feed ducks.

The song became popular throughout the Indonesian archipelago, not for it's meaning, but for its use by the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) as a propaganda song, hence why the song has still some strong taboos around it, traumatising the older generations whenever they hear this song.

G30S/PKI should never be forgotten, nor should it be repeated.
