JAKARTA, Indonesia – A recent viral video showcasing women wearing hijabs inside a Jakarta nightclub has ignited a widespread discussion across social media platforms, particularly among users in Indonesia and Malaysia. The short clip, uploaded by TikTok user @7elwaxx, was captioned as a 'culture shock,' drawing attention to what some perceive as a blurring of traditional and modern lifestyles. The video, uploaded on August 29, 2025, depicts various scenes within a dimly lit club, featuring a band performing on stage and patrons dancing or socializing at tables. Several women in the footage are distinctly seen wearing headscarves, a sight that prompted the author's initial surprise. Online reactions have been diverse. One commenter from Malaysia noted, "Alhamdulillah malaysia tak macam tu . memang takkan nampak perempuan pakai tudung dalam club. Tapi launching tudung dalam club ada🤣," highlighting a perceived difference in social norms. Another user shared a personal experience from a music festival in Jakarta: "last time i pergi music fest kat jakarta, some of the sponsors were brand alcohol so dalam venue tu banyak la booth jual alcohol. i terkejut sbb yg beratur beli ramai perempuan pakai tudunggg." However, not all comments expressed surprise or disapproval. Some users defended the women, suggesting they might be attending for the music or simply enjoying a night out without engaging in activities contrary to their faith. "I mean, what are they doing wrong? They are just going out to enjoy their night. The world should be more open minded," one comment read. Another added, "i mean can what as long doesn’t involve alcohol. what era doesn’t hav right to have fun and party." The video underscores an ongoing societal conversation about religious identity, personal freedom, and evolving cultural landscapes in Southeast Asia, particularly in urban centers like Jakarta.
