During and after the 2013 Turkish anti-government (AG) protests, AG YouTube pop videos and linked comments became a symbolic assembly point for protest movements. For critical discourse analysis, this offers the defiance to examine the discourses accomplished in both the video and the comments. It has been argued that pop songs have been futile in conveying more than populist political sentiments. This seems indeed so for one Turkish iconic protest video. It is also shown that comments do not address the facts proposed in the video but try to frame these in terms of broader forms of loyalties to, and deceit of, an authentic Turkish people and in the light of homogenised and diminished forms of history.
