Being the backronym for "Indonesian people addicted to devices-type kids living within one same nation", this pejorative slang term refers to the country Indonesia — with its population of 270 millions of inhabitants — having the world's highest average screen time, i.e. 7 hours 38 minutes per day as of 2025.
With kids everywhere in Indonesia glued to their screens to play Free Fire or Fortnite, we're undeniably living in an "iPad kid nation"!

Get the iPad kid syndrome mug.Originally from the "Cough like an iPad kid" slang from 2021 (referring to Generation Alpha and the tendency to cough with their mouth and tongue visible while on their tablet as young children). However, the 2024 version of iPad kid revolves around filing in the "..." with any verb and then laughing and saying "alrighttt", in the same tone as Jynxzi, immediately after in the form of ironic comedy.
The first known use of this new form of humour comes from a Jynxzi stream from June 24 where he appears to cough and read a chat instantly of a viewer telling him he coughs like an iPad kid.
This can be seen as a form of clip farming, the 2024 trend that is currently making a resurgence where streamers purposely act out of line in hopes of being clipped for clout.
