AI creates new song “No More Bones” for Band Cemetery
The realm of social media has been abuzz with a song titled “Tak Lagi Dikasih Tulang,” which serves as a response to Slank’s most recent piece “Republik Fufufafa.” Slank unveiled their new single “Republik Fufufafa” towards the end of 2025, marking a return to their roots as a “criticism band,” reminiscent of their earlier years from the 1990s to the 2000s.
Shortly after the release of “Republik Fufufafa,” several TikTok accounts featured “Tak Lagi Dikasih Tulang,” portraying it as Kuburan Band’s latest release and a direct reaction to Slank’s narrative. The song “Tak Lagi Dikasih Tulang” explicitly challenges Slank’s position, accusing them of failing to engage in criticism during President Joko Widodo’s reign and only assuming the role of “the critic band” upon their split.
Upon initial inspection, “Tak Lagi Dikasih Tulang” presents a departure from Kuburan Band’s typical musical style known for its rock genre. Interestingly, the song does not appear within Kuburan’s catalog on streaming platforms such as Spotify or YouTube. Some astute netizens raised suspicions regarding the song’s origins and speculated about the involvement of artificial intelligence (AI) in its creation.
“Is this an AI-generated song?” questioned one user in the comments section, highlighting the technological advancements in music production. Another commenter remarked on the unexpected transition of Kuburan Band into the realm of hip hop, signaling a departure from their established brand identity.
Resa Rizkyan, Kuburan’s lead vocalist, shed light on the controversy surrounding the song and confirmed that it was an AI-generated creation. He urged supporters to pivot their focus towards promoting Kuburan’s authentic single titled “Ajeng” rather than circulating misinformation related to “Tak Lagu Dikasih Tulang.”
In conclusion, the emergence of “Tak Lagi Dikasih Tulang” in response to Slank’s “Republik Fufufafa” underscores the dynamic interplay between music, technology, and social commentary in the digital age. The controversy surrounding AI-generated music serves as a testament to the evolving landscape of creativity and expression within the music industry. As listeners navigate this new terrain of music production, it is essential to discern between authentic artistic expressions and digitally manipulated content to appraise music with a critical eye.
