Placebo's Nancy Boy kicked against the "laddism" of Britpop

In the middle of the "new laddism" that saw magazines like Loaded and FHM set the agenda, Molko was a defiantly androgynous figure - he wore glamorous make-up and "feminine" clothing when his peers were more likely to be dressed sports casual. Molko's lyrics were similarly provocative when it came to sexuality, relationships and drugs.

"A lot of our cross-dressing was a political statement against the music scene at the time which was very laddish and macho," Molko told Kerrang! in 2009. "We wanted to stand up and be counted. There's no better way to do that than by putting a bunch of slap on, wearing a skirt and f**king with people's heads. People hated us for it and I adored that."
