In recent times, portable livestreams have become increasingly popular among Indonesian celebrities. This trend allows them to connect with their fans in a more intimate and spontaneous way, sharing their daily experiences and adventures as they happen. Vey Ruby and Jane Liv are no exception, often taking their fans on exciting journeys through their livestreams.

This shift has legitimized gaming as a career path. Parents who once yelled at their children for playing video games now enroll them in e-sports academies. The government has recognized e-sports as an official sport, complete with funding and coaching. This is not just entertainment; it is a vector for national self-esteem in a digital age.

The 2010s saw the rise of "Indo-pop" indie. Bands like HIVI!, Tulus, and RAN offered a softer, jazz-influenced alternative. However, the true global breakout came from Pamungkas . His album Solipsism (released on a whim in 2020 due to COVID-19 lockdowns) became a sleeper hit, listened to by teenagers in Mexico, the Philippines, and India who had no idea what the Indonesian lyrics meant—they simply loved the vibe.
