This research aims to analyze Indonesian slang in the novel Resign!, one of the Metropop works. In the Resign! novel, slang is utilized to shape characters, create dynamic and lively dialogues, and establish emotional closeness between the characters particularly using abbreviation/acronym, coinage, clipping, and semantic shift types of slang. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through close reading, note-taking, categorization, and analysis of 40 slang expressions found in the novel. The research also reveals the use of uniquely Indonesian particles such as “dong”, “kok”, and “sih”, which enhance the informal and familiar tone of the text. The results indicate that the use of slang in this novel not only enriches the language style, but also reflects the influence of popular culture and the social reality of urban youth, which serve as the novel’s backdrop.
