Pemaknaan Aktivitas Nongkrong di Kafe sebagai Budaya Milenial (Studi Fenomenologi Terhadap Pengunjung Kafe di Kota Pematangsiantar)

Abstract

This study attempts to ascertain the context of students' hanging out activities and the significance of hanging out for Pematangsiantar City café patrons. This study employs a phenomenological qualitative research methodology, with data gathering methods including observation and interviews using the theory of leisure class. The findings demonstrated that students' motivation for engaging in hangout activities came from a variety of sources, including making friends, exchanging stories, looking for inspiration, being productive, and having access to leisure activities. According to Yogyakarta students, hanging out activities have multiple meanings, including as a way of self-healing and as a means of learning. This hanging out activity is interpreted by many students in accordance with their reality and essence. However, there are also a number of situations in which people see socializing as a way to follow trends and gain approval from others. These situations are known as posers and are referred to as the leisure class. However, it's not just about the extracurricular classes; some students view their free time as an opportunity for activity, good thinking, and time.
