<![CDATA[In the current digital era, Instagram is not only a place to share personal moments but also a political arena where individuals participate in discussions, campaigns, and other political activities. This research aims to understand the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on social media, Instagram, among Generation Z during the 2024 presidential election using Alfred Schutz's phenomenological theory. This research employs the phenomenological method, where data collection techniques used are interviews, observations, and documentation. The study uses an interpretive paradigm to allow the researcher to observe and understand the meanings, values, and behaviors of Generation Z in using Instagram to spread campaign tweets and even comment during the 2024 presidential election.
