Celebrating the Spirit, Restlessness, and Collective Action of Indonesian Youth

R.O 1928: BEYOND THE PLEDGE

Not a Tribute. A Takeover.

 

A nation didn’t begin with a flag. It began with the voices of young people who refused to wait.

In 1928, an oath was spoken — not merely to unite, but to become. Nearly a century later, that spirit echoes again through the movement of today’s generation.

R.O 1928: Beyond the Pledge is a collaborative campaign between Insurgent Club and infipop, inspired by the energy of the 1928 Youth Pledge. This campaign goes beyond commemoration — it calls on today’s youth to move beyond the promise and turn it into collective action. With the tagline “Not a Tribute. A Takeover.”, the spirit of 1928 is reinterpreted into the creative language of resistance, expressed through how we speak, move, and create today.

This collaboration is part of Hari Raya Pemuda 2025, a national campaign initiated by infipop and Muda-Mudahan, serving as a convergence point for the spirit, restlessness, and aspirations of Indonesian youth.

Held at Melting Pop, a new community space at M Bloc Jakarta, this event became a symbol of ideas, intergenerational collaboration, and creativity. Hari Raya Pemuda responds to the reality of today’s youth, a generation that’s hyper-connected yet often fragmented.

Through this celebration, infipop and its collaborators created a shared narrative and space for growth, expression, and movement.

“Hari Raya Pemuda marks the beginning of the journey toward the 100th anniversary of the Youth Pledge in 2028. Young people need a shared narrative to face shared challenges, just like the Jong movements of the past.” – Dhanu Riza, Chief Content Officer of infipop

As part of the celebration, Insurgent Club x infipop launched an exclusive capsule collection titled “R.O 1928: Beyond the Pledge.”

The collection consists of three essential pieces, each representing a core element of the Youth Pledge:

T-shirt (Blood) 

Representing roots and passion. Bold graphic design with strong red accents, symbolizing the fire that ignited a generation’s resistance.

Outer Jacket (Language)

Symbolizing expression and rebellious voices. A representation of freedom of speech and self-definition.

Canvas Bag (Unity)

representing collective strength. A functional medium that reminds us that change is born from solidarity.

The R.O 1928 capsule embodies three key principles:

No Restock Collectibles → A limited release that captures the Beyond the Pledge moment, once released, it will not be reproduced.

Wear The Pledge → Each design reinterprets the Youth Pledge, functioning not just as style but as a statement.

Join the Movement → A collaboration between media IP and local brands to amplify the voice of Indonesia’s youth on a national scale.

Every piece is more than clothing — it’s a wearable manifesto.

R.O 1928: Beyond the Pledge was officially launched on October 25, 2025, alongside the Hari Raya Pemuda celebration at Melting Pop, M Bloc Jakarta. The event marked the offline launch, gathering youth communities, creatives, and the public in a shared space of expression and movement.

The collection will also be available online starting October 28, 2025 through official Insurgent Club website & marketplace, infipop media channels, Insurgent Club flagship store.
