Abstract

Internet memes have become a prominent form of popular communication within contemporary digital culture, particularly in social media environments that facilitate rapid content circulation and participatory interaction. As cultural artifacts, memes function not only as entertainment but also as carriers of social meaning that reflect collective identities and engage in broader ideological and political discourses; however, despite growing academic interest, comprehensive mappings of research trends in this field remain limited. This study examines global research trends on memes as popular culture in social media through a bibliometric analysis of publications from 2015 to 2025, employing a quantitative descriptive approach based on a Systematic Literature Review guided by the PRISMA 2020 framework. A total of 100 Scopus-indexed publications were selected using the keywords “meme” and “popular culture,” with bibliographic data analyzed using the Bibliometrix R-tool to identify publication trends, dominant themes, influential sources, institutional contributions, and geographical citation patterns. The findings reveal rapid growth in meme-related scholarship, with an annual growth rate of 25.25% and an average document age of 4.19 years, indicating the highly contemporary nature of this research field, while thematic analysis highlights strong associations with popular culture, social media, humor, and digital culture, alongside increasing attention to platform-specific communities such as Reddit. Citation analysis further demonstrates the dominance of Western countries, particularly the United States, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, in shaping theoretical developments. Overall, this study confirms that meme research has evolved into an important multidisciplinary field within communication and cultural studies, providing a systematic overview of existing scholarship and a foundation for future research on memes as influential elements of digital culture.

Abstract

The development of new media has positioned the audience as active producers of meaning, where the TikTok comment section functions as a primary arena for identity negotiation and participatory culture. This article examines the viral phenomenon of the song "Tabola Bale," focusing on the dynamics of digital crowd interaction in responding to the trend. This study aims to dissect the narrative structure, emotional patterns, and social construction formed behind thousands of netizen comments. The method used is qualitative with a Digital Humanities approach, utilizing the corpus linguistics software Voyant Tools to visualize data through Cirrus, Trends, and ScatterPlot features. The results indicate that the virality of "Tabola Bale" is constructed through three main dimensions. First, high emotional intensity and social conformity, characterized by the dominance of intensifier lexicons such as "banget" (very) and "candu" (addicted). Second, the operation of identity politics and participatory culture, where the words "timur" (East Indonesia) and "dance" appear consistently as forms of local cultural pride and performative bodily participation. Third, the existence of a transnational virality dimension revealed through the clustering of English words and references to "Philippines," signaling cross-border cultural exchange despite the occurrence of meaning desemantization. In conclusion, the TikTok comment section is not merely a review space, but an arena for constructing social reality where emotional validation, local identity, and global interaction intertwine to form popular culture trends.
