Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the phenomenon of the relevance of the traditional customs of the Gayo Lues Tribe in the context of social change from the perspective of the younger generation. Within a sociological framework, these customs are interpreted as obligations that serve as a significant foundation in the decision-making process to resolve social issues. This research utilizes a qualitative method, with a literature review approach. The data collected through this process is then analyzed descriptively, analytically, historically, and comparatively. The findings reveal a gap in the younger generation's understanding of the traditional customs of the Gayo tribe in Aceh. Despite this, the younger generation plays a vital role in preserving cultural identity and the continuity of traditional customs and requires preventive assimilation. Furthermore, the renewal and adaptation of customs are necessary for the younger generation to maintain their relevance in a modern context. The research also explores contemporary challenges in the changes in values and norms experienced by the younger generation, which potentially threaten the relevance of traditional customs. The implications of the research involve establishing a dialogue to reach a consensus among the younger generation, the older generation, and traditional leaders.
