Hidup Jokowi, meaning long live Jokowi, is a supporter chant for Joko Widodo, who served as president of Indonesia from 2014 to 2024. The phrase was heard at campaign rallies and public gatherings throughout his presidency, where crowds used it to show loyalty and enthusiasm. As short political clips spread on social media and soundboards, the chant became a reusable audio shorthand for Indonesian political support, satire and debate. It remains in use because it is instantly recognisable to Indonesian audiences and needs no explanation to signal which side of a political argument a video is on.
