Resumen
Este artículo investiga la personalidad de Brian Molko, cantante de la banda Placebo, creada a finales de los años 1990, en diálogo con enfoques contemporáneos de la interpretación de personas. A través de archivos de fans y artículos de revistas musicales (1997-1999), analizamos cómo Molko negoció una "extraordinariedad ordinaria", anticipando el fenómeno de las "personas reacias" en la música pop actual. La investigación utiliza la teoría anecdótica (Gallop, 2002) para explorar cómo las redes sociales intensifican la relación entre teatralidad, performatividad y compromiso con la actuación de lo ordinario.
