About

Indonesian Boat Racing Kid or Kid Aura Farming On Boat refers to a series of memes based on several viral videos of kids dancing, posing and essentially conducting rowers while standing on the front of Indonesian racing boats during Pacu Jalur, an annual racing event. Memes using clips of the kids, some taken from the @lensa.rams TikTok page, went viral on TikTok and Instagram Reels in June 2025, with many examples set to the song "Young Black & Rich" by Melly Mike. The videos inspired memes in which TikTokers mirror the moves done by the kids on the boats, with one kid wearing an all-black outfit becoming the particular subject of memes. Many of the memes suggest that the dancing kids are aura farming.

Origin

Pacu Jalur is an annual boat race in Indonesia that has been practiced since the 17th century.[1] Racing boats tend to have a kid dancing on the bow of the boat, both to entertain and to direct the rowers.

On January 10th, 2025, TikToker[2] @lensa.rams posted a video of a kid dancing at the front of a boat in a black outfit, garnering over 78,000 views in five months.
