Toplumsal yapının bir aynası, zamanın ruhunu yansıtan bir araç ve kimi zaman da değişime çağrı yapan bir ses olarak müzik, tarih boyunca toplumsal eleştiri için güçlü bir platform işlevi görmüştür. Bilgi kirliliği ve manipülasyonun her geçen gün arttığı günümüzde, müziğin toplumsal eleştiri aracı olarak işlevinin ortaya konulması doğrultusunda, bu çalışma kapsamında Baltimore, Maryland çıkışlı bir metal müzik grubu olan Misery Index’in 2019 yılında yayınlanan "Rituals of Power" albümünün metinsel içeriğinde post-truth olgusunun inşa ve aktarım biçimlerinin açığa çıkarılarak yorumlanması amaçlanmıştır. Niteliksel içerik çözümlemesi yaklaşımı benimsenerek gerçekleştirilen çalışmada albümdeki şarkı sözleri, MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2024 programına aktarıldıktan sonra sistematik ve tümevarımsal bir şekilde kodlanmış ve “medya ve siyaset”, “toplumsal çöküş”, “toplumsal baskı ve dışlanma” ve “iktidarın döngüsel doğası” olmak üzere dört tema çerçevesinde yorumlanmıştır. Bulgular, albümde çarpıtılmış gerçeklik, kurumsal başarısızlık ve bilginin kasıtlı manipülasyonu ile mücadelenin söz konusu olduğu bir dünyanın karanlık bir tasvirinin sunulduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda şarkı sözleri; medya manipülasyonu, yankı odaları, politik aldatma, gerçek ve kurgu arasındaki çizginin bulanıklaşması, toplumsal çöküş, ahlaki yozlaşma, distopik gelecek ve kurumlara duyulan güvenin kaybı gibi post-truth olgusuyla ilişkili konuları ele almaktadır. Post-truth çağının beraberinde getirdiği sorunlara sanatsal bir yanıt niteliği taşıyan albüm, dinleyicileri bu sorunlar konusunda bilinçlendirerek eleştirel düşünmeye teşvik etmektedir. Müzik ve toplumsal yapı arasındaki çok yönlü ilişkinin disiplinlerarası bir bakış açısıyla incelendiği bu çalışma, müziğin güncel sosyopolitik konuları sorgulayarak dinleyicilere aktarma potansiyelini vurgulamakta ve post-truth olgusunun sanatsal ifadeler üzerindeki etkisine dair anlayışımızı genişletmektedir.

Throughout history, music has served as a powerful platform for social criticism, acting as a mirror of social structure, a tool that reflects the spirit of the time, and a voice calling for change. This study aims to reveal and interpret the construction and transmission forms of the post-truth phenomenon in the textual content of the album "Rituals of Power", released in 2019 by Misery Index, a metal music band from Baltimore, Maryland, to uncover the function of music as a tool for social criticism in today's world, where information pollution and manipulation are increasing daily. Adopting a qualitative content analysis approach, the lyrics of the album were systematically and inductively coded after being transferred to the MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2024 software and interpreted within the framework of four themes: “media and politics”, “social collapse”, “social oppression and exclusion” and “the cyclical nature of power”. The findings show that the album presents a dark depiction of a world struggling with distorted reality, institutional failure, and the deliberate manipulation of information. In this context, the lyrics address issues related to the post-truth phenomenon such as media manipulation, echo chambers, political deception, blurring the lines between reality and fiction, social collapse, moral corruption, dystopian future and loss of trust in institutions. Through an interdisciplinary examination of the multifaceted relationship between music and social structure, this study emphasizes the potential of music to question and convey current socio-political issues to the audience and expands our understanding of the impact of the post-truth phenomenon on artistic expressions.
