Kata kunci: Slang, Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D Album Bahasa merupakan instrumen penting bagi manusia dalam komunikasi sehari-hari. Dalam komunikasi ada dua macam bahasa, yakni bahasa formal dan informal. Orang menggunakan bahasa formal ketika mereka berada dalam situasi formal, dan mereka akan menggunakan bahasa informal ketika mereka berada dalam situasi informal. Pada dasarnya, untuk menentukan sebuah konteks yaitu dengan menggunakan berbagai variasi bahasa, baik secara formal maupun informal dimana dapat dilihat dari pemilihan kosakata. Salah satu ciri dari bahasa slang adalah penggunaan bahasa gaul. Slang adalah sebuah kata-kata tidak resmi atau frase dan ekspresi yang tidak digunakan secara umum. Bahasa gaul dapat digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari terutama dalam situasi informal, lirik lagu, dalam puisi, terjemahan film dan lainnya. Dalam hal ini penulis ingin menganalisis penggunaan bahasa gaul dalam lirik lagu. Rumusan masalah penelitian ini adalah: 1) karakteristik bahasa slang apa saja yang digunakan oleh Black Eyed Peas ' di dalam album The E.N.D, 2) apa arti dari bahasa slang yang terdapat di lagu Black Eyed Peas' dalam album The E.N.D. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: 1) Untuk mengetahui karakteristik dari slang yang digunakan oleh Black Eyed Peas 'di dalam album The E.N.D, 2) Untuk mengetahui arti dari bahasa slang yang terdapat di lagu Black Eyed Peas' dalam album The E.N.D. Metode penelitian: 1) desain penelitian dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif 2) sumber data penelitian ini adalah Black Eyed Peas di album The E.N.D 3) teknik pengumpulan data penelitian ini adalah dokumentasi, 4) langkah analisis data: mengumpulkan lagu Black Eyed Peas, memilih lagu Black Eyed Peas, membaca dan memahami lirik, mengidentifikasi, mencatat data dan mengklasifikasi data menurut karakteristik dan makna dari bahasa slang tersebut. Hasil pertama dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada empat karakteristik slang yang digunakan oleh Black Eyed Peas, diantaranya adalah (a) creativity, (b) flippant, (c) fresh, (d) onomatopoetic. Fresh lah yang mendominasi ix
karakteristik tersebut dalam Black Eyed Peas 'di album The E.N.D. Ada 20 kata termasuk karakteristik dari Fresh. Selanjutnya, 16 kata-kata yang termasuk dari creativity, 7 kata untuk flippant, dan yang terakhir adalah 3 kata termasuk dari onomatopoetic. Hasil yang kedua adalah makna bahasa slang yang terdapat di Black Eyed Peas' dalam album The E.N.D. Belajar dan memahami arti bahasa, terutama bahasa slang, banyak memberikan sesuatu yang menarik tentang sebuah komunikasi. Banyak orang lain di luar sana yang mencemooh akan sebuah bahasa namun tidak tahu atau memahami apa yang kelompok itu katakan. Dengan mempelajari bahasa slang ini, penulis menyadari betapa beragamnya sebuah bahasa khususnya memahami arti dari bahasa (yang dianggap) tabu tersebut. Menggunakan bahasa slang membuat bahasa Inggris anda jauh lebih beragam bahkan sedikit lebih menarik dari pada umumnya.
