Top Comments of this video!! :3
It's 2022, these guys were so ahead of their time. The best part is, they were always on the right side of history and everyone else that were afraid of "different" are not. It's gratifying, and encouraging that art was never straying off the "path". Art imitates life, always has and always will. Even if there is an element of "you might not like this, but your kids are gonna love it".

,The death of nancy boy" is really painful for me. I understand that they had grown up and they wanted to develop their music and lyrics. But ,,nancy boy" and the whole "nancy boy era" are the huge inspiration for me. I realize that a lot of things that they were doing at that time was just an attempt to get attention. Brian Molko is a very interesting person and it was quite hard to understand how does he feel about this song and this era now. (I still don't understand))

I remember when Nancy Boy came on MTV. Even though it is not their biggest song in terms of recognition today, it stands out as one of the most perfect singles of the decade, it just really captures the whole vibe so amazingly well and spot on. The video has these spacey, distorted aesthetics and a sort of fucked up druggy queer vibe. Not in a derogatory way, but more like embracing freaky wildness and opportunity. And it was not a facade, it was SO Placebo.
The song itself is very outspoken against all things conservative as a means of freeing the freaks hiding in the shadows, in a provocative but charming way. Very tongue-in-cheek. I feel like Placebo always rode on the back of teen angst, even naming a song after it. But in a way where they're saying like "we understand what you are going through!" to their young fans.
This would be harder to get away with today.
People would be keen to take sides, like this would be too woke almost.
But that's just because today sucks, and we need to bring back the hopeful 90's, am I right? ;-P

I became a fan of PLACEBO in the early 2000s, when "Black Market Music" was their newest album and "thebsh" (the brick sh**house) was their domain for their official website. They did a great job of making music for the "square pegs", and Brian is one of my androgynous/non-binary/genderqueer/genderfluid icons, and definately an inspiration to me coming out as an Enby myself.

2023 and i'm still a very loving & loyal & always dedicated fan, you have my love, heart and my oath . i took my son to placebo this last year... and it was the most beautiful & on my top 5 concerts of my life. i'm not gunna lie, i'm still in love with brian and still bruised pristine. and if i had another chance to be right in front & center to brian & stephan i pray & hope i have more of a one- on - one conversation and i know there hear it alot. but their music saved me more than once. and all i want really is to hold both of them close, hug them dearly and let them know how much i love them, and what they mean. i could probably only list maybe a few handful of band's that saved me , inspired me, kept me alive, were my inspiration & music to my own personal artwork & poetry. xoxo im still awaiting a response . <3
