Bedeutung
Hair that has grown long
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Javanese culture, long hair on women is often tied in a 'sanggul' (bun) for formal events. It represents modesty and elegance. Among young men in cities like Jakarta, 'rambut panjang' or 'gondrong' is a popular style among musicians and artists, signaling a creative lifestyle. Most Indonesian schools have strict 'razia rambut' (hair raids) where boys with hair touching their collars are forced to cut it. In the 1970s, the government associated long hair on men with criminality and lack of discipline, leading to public shaming.
