Given "Genjer-genjer’s" connection to the politics and culture of the left and its alleged connection to the September 30th Movement, the New Order quickly banned the song. The ban on the song ended in 1998 with Suharto’s resignation and the end of the New Order. Since 1998, more and more Indonesian musicians have begun to perform the song, though the stigma that became attached to it during the days of the New Order has not yet dissipated fully from Indonesian society. The American rock band "Dengue Fever" also recorded a version of "Genjer-genjer" in 2016, though with lyrics in Khmer. Genjer-genjer (Osing Language)  Genjer-genjer nong kedokan pating keleler Genjer-genjer nong kedokan pating keleler Emake thulik teka-teka mbubuti genjer Emake thulik teka-teka mbubuti genjer Ulih sak tenong mungkur sedhot sing tulih-tulih Genjer-genjer saiki wis digawa mulih  Genjer-genjer isuk-isuk didol ning pasar Genjer-genjer isuk-isuk didol ning pasar Dijejer-jejer diuntingi padha didhasar Dijejer-jejer diuntingi padha didhasar Emake jebeng padha tuku nggawa welasah Genjer-genjer saiki wis arep diolah  Genjer-genjer mlebu kendhil wedang gemulak Genjer-genjer mlebu kendhil wedang gemulak Setengah mateng dientas ya dienggo iwak Setengah mateng dientas ya dienggo iwak Sego sak piring sambel jeruk ring pelanca Genjer-genjer dipangan musuhe sega   Genjer-genjer (Rough English translation)  Genjer laying all through the rice fields Genjer laying all through the rice fields The mother of the boy comes to pick genjer The mother of the boy comes to pick genjer Taking a bunch she turns away without looking Now genjer has been brought back home  Every morning genjer is sold at the market Every morning genjer is sold at the market Laid out in rows tied up to be sold Laid out in rows tied up to be sold The mother of the girl buys genjer while carrying a woven bamboo basket Genjer now can be cooked  Genjer enters a pot of boiling water Genjer enters a pot of boiling water Half-cooked it is drained as a side dish Half-cooked it is drained as a side dish A plate of rice and orange sambal in front Genjer is eaten with rice
