Abstract (English): This research was motivated by the lack of comprehensive research on the representation of masculinity in classic Indonesian dangdut songs from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. These songs contain authentic social constructions of male roles and characters in society, but have not been analyzed in depth using masculinity theory. This study aims to identify and analyze how male masculinity is represented in the lyrics of classic dangdut songs through the seven dimensions of masculinity proposed by Janet Saltzman Chafetz, namely physical, functional, sexual, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, and personal characteristics. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a critical discourse analysis approach. The results show that masculinity is presented in a multidimensional way: physically strong and tough; responsible as a breadwinner and leader; subtly expressing sexual interest; reflecting emotions such as regret and sadness; thinking logically and wisely; maintaining relationships with responsibility and maturity; and adhering to spiritual values and principles of life. These findings confirm that masculinity in classic dangdut songs is not merely synonymous with dominance, but also reflects the emotional, rational, and spiritual sides of men in Indonesian popular culture.

Abstract (Indonesian): Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh minimnya kajian komprehensif mengenai representasi maskulinitas dalam lagu dangdut klasik Indonesia era 1970-an, 1980-an, dan 1990-an. Lagu-lagu tersebut memuat konstruksi sosial yang autentik mengenai peran dan karakter laki-laki dalam masyarakat, namun belum banyak dianalisis secara mendalam menggunakan teori maskulinitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis bagaimana maskulinitas laki-laki direpresentasikan dalam lirik lagu dangdut klasik melalui tujuh dimensi maskulinitas yang dikemukakan oleh Janet Saltzman Chafetz, yaitu dimensi fisik, fungsional, seksual, emosional, intelektual, interpersonal, dan karakteristik pribadi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis wacana kritis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa maskulinitas ditampilkan secara multidimensi: kuat dan tangguh secara fisik; bertanggung jawab sebagai pencari nafkah dan pemimpin; mengekspresikan ketertarikan seksual secara halus; merefleksikan emosi seperti penyesalan dan kesedihan; berpikir logis dan bijaksana; menjaga relasi dengan tanggung jawab dan kedewasaan; serta berpegang pada nilai spiritual dan prinsip hidup. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa maskulinitas dalam lagu dangdut klasik tidak semata-mata identik dengan dominasi, melainkan juga mencerminkan sisi emosional, rasional, dan spiritual laki-laki dalam budaya populer Indonesia.
