Music in Indonesia: Java, Sumatra and Bali. The traditional music of central and East Java and Bali is the gamelan. In 1965, a law was passed that banned Western-style pop or rock music. In that same year, Koes Plus, an Indonesian pop group in the 1960s- 80s, was imprisoned for playing Western-style music. When the law was disbanded, the prison was destroyed and replaced with a big mall. The new mall in is now the center of recording, production and distribution of modern Indonesian pop and rock music.After pop/rock music was disbanded, it became more popular especially with teens. Adolescence in Indonesia also watch MTV and like to go to concerts, similar to the teens here in America. Teens in Indonesia listen to music called bollywood music, like the music they hear in movies. 
I would apply this is kind of like the iceberg deal in chapter two, part of the surface-level culture (popular culture) I would say because it’s only the music that is popular and what teens there enjoy. You don’t need to know the person for two years before being able to comfortably ask them what kind of music they enjoy.
