Resumo

Este artigo investiga a persona de Brian Molko, vocalista da banda Placebo, criada no final dos anos 1990, em diálogo com abordagens contemporâneas de performance de persona. Por meio de arquivos de fãs e artigos de revistas musicais (1997-1999), analisa-se como Molko negociou uma "extraordinariedade ordinária", antecipando o fenômeno das "personas relutantes" na música pop atual. A pesquisa utiliza a teoria anedótica (Gallop, 2002) para explorar como mídias sociais, intensificam a relação entre teatralidade, performatividade e o engajamento com a performance do comum.
