Abstract

This article investigates how stigma around so-called “gang hand signs” is produced, circulated, andnegotiated in TikTok comments. Drawing on a case-bounded corpus of 675 comments posted under fivevideos from the account TopNotch Idiots (posted in 2023; comments captured in 2025), the analysisintegrates critical sociolinguistics and language-ideological perspectives with the concepts ofenregisterment and platformed racism. We operationalize a two-layer coding scheme: stigma processes(labeling, stereotyping, separation/status loss, discrimination) and sociolinguistic lenses (indexicals ofrisk, digital gatekeeping, platformed racism cues, moral-panic rhetoric). Findings show that gestures areenregistered as a default “danger register,” normalizing punitive discourse (“deserve to get hurt”);commenters perform outsider exclusion and moral boundary-making; and racialized/locational cuesalign with platformed racism, intensified by platform affordances and virality. We discuss implicationsfor critical media literacy and English language pedagogy in Indonesia, arguing that user-generateddiscourse not only mainstream media now participates in the production of stigma and public moralities.The study contributes to research on indexicality, platform governance, and digital vigilantism, andsuggests ethics-oriented classroom practices for interrogating harmful registers online.

Abstract

This study examines the sociolinguistic functions of slang variations in the lyrical repertoire of rapper Dax, an artist notably absent from existing academic literature despite his significant cultural impact. Applying Eble’s theoretical framework of slang effects, this research employs qualitative analysis of four commercially successful songs spanning Dax’s creative evolution from 2018 to 2023. The methodology integrates computational screening with rigorous validation through Green’s Dictionary of Slang, ensuring lexicographical authority. Findings reveal 27 validated slang expressions functioning as sophisticated rhetorical instruments that simultaneously cultivate informality, signal group identification, and articulate opposition to authority. The analysis demonstrates Dax’s artistic progression from establishing hip-hop authenticity through multifaceted slang usage toward more focused explorations of spiritual turmoil and systemic critique. Theoretically, this study extends Eble’s framework to contemporary musical discourse, revealing slang’s multidimensional role in constructing identity and negotiating social meaning. Practically, it offers pedagogical applications for bridging sociolinguistic theory with authentic language practices. This investigation advances the field by documenting understudied linguistic phenomena in popular culture while providing a replicable model for analyzing vernacular speech in artistic contexts.
