the icon fever

hi semua.. i just logged in and have been thinking to share something.
it's been a while gue ngga balik ke indo dan akhirnya sekarang gue bisa liburan dengan proper di sini.
i try to catch up with everything, the popculture, trend, etc.
dan ada satu fenomena yang menarik perhatian gue belakangan ini : the icon fever.

correct me if im wrong, tapi si icon2-an ini pertama kali gue denger waktu paranoia (hrfm) nyari penyiar penggantinya dj noxx. gue beberapa kali denger lewat live streaming walaupun ngga full show. they had "the next paranoia icons"(?) yang akhirnya dimenangin sama pdouble. the rest of the finalists then become "the paranoia icons".

after, gue beberapa kali dapet fwd-an email acara mereka (hrfm) yang sebagian performer-nya adalah paranoia icons. yang gue denger dari sepupu gue, they do somekind of dj-ing in groups, jadi konsepnya kaya vocal group, nah cuma ini isinya rentetan dj2 (icons) yang main dgn durasi yang pendek2. so it's more like a performance. gue belum pernah liat mereka but i do think it's an interesting innovation for jakarta's dance scene.

hal ini membuat gue berkesimpulan bahwa icon2 itu jadi semacam perwakilan image juga buat mereka.

then a few weeks after the paranoia icon search, i receive another e-flyer (it's more like an announcement, actually) of an event held in babyface, and they actually called their resident djs as babyface icons. so i thought this icon thing got more and more interesting.

last week (it was weekdays, i believe), i received an invitation from a friend to come to public (ex-manna house). she said that night the place will also launch "the public icons" : nico, jehan and aria (also one of the paranoia icons).

i laughed when i read it. it's just so funny how a trend is easily build here. which is a good thing, of course. i'll be excited myself if i work in the industry. and i wont be surprise if in anytime soon, there'll be some other icons made (clubs, radios, etc).

the only question crossing my mind is.. arent the jakartans feel challenged to make a new concept of marketing and publicity, instead of following something that has been done by a radio station? i am a big fan of originality so this issue really got my attention.

buat yang mau comment, silakan.. gue percaya forum ini bisa jadi sarana edukasi juga buat kita semua, esp when it comes to lifestyle & dance industry.

thanks for the space ;)

@Jenna
nice topic... but its what we called Bussines and its Legal i guess.. ;) ;)
>>> The World is a VAMPIRE.... <<<<

hi jimprut..

yes, it's legal of course, and i wrote above that i am excited myself. at the same time also wondering, do you guys realize that this trend has been built here in the last few months? (and will keep going cause i received another invitation for icons launching for some clothing brand tomorrow).

or is it just me the one trying to spend my vacation and turn out thinking too much? :P

IMO, maybe ure turn out too much ( no offense ya jooo,,, ;)) maksudnya ya its part of media and entertainment business, klo soal yg mengekor ya bisa dibilang itu kebiasaan org kita yg mengekor suatu trend tp juga ternyata trend itu menguntungkan,,,,, beside, Icons menurut gw itu jg bukan suatu trend tp merupakan suatu strategi jitu dr suatu brand untuk memasarkan produknya,,, mkn keliatan byk icons muncul dlm satu waktu krn emang waktunya aja dlm satu waktu beberapa brand mengeluarkan konsep br mereka,,,, ;)

hi dimsumonDLine (really dont know what to call you).

yup2 i agree kok.. you really have to know that i have nothing against this, i just have the tendency to question things hehe..

soal banyak icons yang muncul dalam satu waktu karena konsepnya kebetulan mirip? cud be.. :)

yes i agree...mungkin juga karena mereka sering share bareng trus kemudian menemukan konsep yg sama jd aja di buat dalam 1 waktu...

kalo konsep yang kebetulan mirip, yah boleh lah.. tapi kalo share bareng trus nemuin konsep yang sama trus dibuat dalam 1 waktu? it's a little bit too "kompak" dont you think? hehe.. kalo gue ada di dalam group yang lagi share itu sih gue akan bersikeras untuk jadi yang pertama, biar dibilang "pilot"nya hehe..

again, just a thought, peace :)

yes. it's a cliche to perceive club icons as commercially overrated playdolls..
with all due respect,
that would be a generalized look from the outside view, instead from the inside..
there's a great chance that the industry works in a more complex "politic"..

it's still up to the crowd to judge who's who and who goes with what.... inside.

Quotearent the jakartans feel challenged to make a new concept of marketing and publicity, instead of following something that has been done by a radio station? i am a big fan of originality so this issue really got my attention.

see, the radio stations have the given right to represent jakartans..
so i can't see why jakartans must perceived them as something to be "followed-or-not-to-be-followed"... they're just there to represent. if they fail, they fail.

BUT..
jakartans as media or marketing professionals, as a part of the radio station, tv, etc...
jakartans as subjects,
yes.. it would be wise if we continue progressing into a better and newer concept
not only for the sake of originality (which only satisfies some radio executive's ego), but the dynamic between the media - the people - the cash (sponsors/commercials)
basically it's like the pimp - the whore - the pervie ... lol

imho. icons are merely labels.
people regarded as icons, are still way more respected as djs, mcs, artists, etc.. instead of... icons.
people don't say: hey... the gig is totally awesome!.. who's the icon!?
no.. they ask who's the dj, or the artists.
:P

as far as i know, yg main di centro itu emang one of the paranoia icons,
tapi itu karena dia resident di centro, namanya andre dunant. member rvlx juga kok
but he's not performing any showcase as u thought jenna, he's just playing as the resident dj..
well yea, hope we'd meet on saturday, randy katana right? ;)

Once by my side, You're always gonna haunt me..

The city lights so bright, Are shining for me only
All those days are gone, They're not coming back for me..

A Starfire...

wah saya batal ke centro sabtu dan minggu. sebenernya bisa sih kalo "dipaksain" tapi ngga enak juga ya clubbing pas lagi ada bencana begini. it made me wonder, selama banjir masih ada terus begini, ada ngga ya yang masih excited clubbing? kalo ada, 2 kata deh.. : niat ajah! hehe :P

tapi denger2 jumat dan sabtu centro lumayan rame, bener ngga?

Saya datang yang hari sabtu nya, lumayan niat sih hehehe  :P :P :P
biar pun ada banjir dimana2 ternyata centro masih teutep padat aja, tapi mungkin ga sepenuh yang di kira orang-orang sih...coba apa jadinya kalo ga ada bencana, bisa lebih sumpek banget tuh kemaren...

bener sih..
kayaknya emang ICON-ICON itu cuma taktik buat meningkatkan brand awareness dan brand image di masyarakat..
walopun emang pada akhrinya kadang ICON-ICON itu ngga ada yang kita kenal..
tapi kan sah-sah aja.. hehehe



kayak rekepleks ini..
banyak kok ICONnya..
yaaaaaaaaaa.. bisa diliat deh yang paling eksis dan selalu muncul di setiap keriaan malam.. !! *piss*

anyway.. Hi JENNA!!

gue masih heran orang yang lagi banjir gini masih pada party..
bangga lagi..

bukannya bangga, berusaha menghargai undangan dan melihat teman kita yang perform...tapi juga concern apa yang terjadi dengan teman2 kita yang kena musibah...kalo mereka ga bisa hadir, setidaknya berikan lah party report tentang acara tersebut...kalo ada apa2 tinggal telpon dan smuanya pasti siap menolong...kita keluarga bukan cuma di tempat club ato kehidupan malam aja kan...
