Alay

Alay is an Indonesian pop culture phenomenon. The term refers to a stereotype describing something "tacky", "cheesy" and/or being excessive. The Alay culture phenomena spans a wide array of styles in music, dress, and messaging. It has often been compared to the Jejemon phenomenon originating from the Philippines and Harajuku in Japan. Although the former emerged much later, the latter was even admired in the West.
