Art is a representation of a nation, mainly related to traditional arts.  The art form that is widely enjoyed and understood is music.  Unfortunately, the understanding of traditional arts as a representation of the nation has been eroded by the presence of foreign music.  In fact, every week foreign songs always dominate the top charts on Indonesian Youtube.  The purpose of this research is to increase the millennial generation's understanding of the philosophy of folk songs and participate in preserving these songs through the Instagram platform.  The subjects of this study are the students of English Literature Study Program, Universitas Muhammadiyah Lampung.  The method used in this research is Quasi Experimental, with pre test, giving treatment, and post test.  The research subjects are introduced to several folk songs in Instagram.  Then the research subjects are given several questions about these songs.  The subjects are asked to sing the song and upload the creative results to their own social media, especially Instagram.  This research shows that the subjects are enthusiastic in understanding and appreciating Indonesian folk songs after knowing the philosophical values ​​contained in these songs, even understanding the tones and lyrics makes them provide improvisation and deep appreciation in bringing more areas uploaded to social media.
