Placebo The Death of Nancy Boy, New British Canon

The first 1000 people to use the link will get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership: Between 1993 and 1997, music in Britain was dominated by the reign of Britpop. Copying the Small Faces and Kinks was back in vogue, everyone had a vested interest in championing either Blur or Oasis and the charts were infested with acts with names like Shed 7, Sleeper and Menswear. Emerging amongst this flagwaving rabble were the grungy, glamsplattered post punks known as Placebo. Fronted by the alltoo sexual Brian Molko, they singularly led a charge against the backwardfacing Britpop movement with rock music that thrilled, shocked and flirted in equal measure with songs like Bruise Pristine, Teenage Angst, 36 Degrees, Pure Morning, Every You Every Me The Bitter But the most iconic and sleaziest of their 90s singles, Nancy Boy, challenged gender roles and left a trail of bodily fluids in its wake. This is New British Canon and This is the Story of Nancy Boy.
