The placebo effect is the name given to a special phenomenon observed for the first time around 1994, and still observed today. It happens when a loud mediocre rock band start utilizing several obvious gimmicks to promote themselves. If the obviousness and lack of quality is obscured enough, the band may actually be very successful for a short amount of time until the public discovers the smokescreen. Implementations of the placebo effectMost used gimmicks for attempted Placebo effect launch.
Dress as gay as you can.
Keep lyrics short, 5 word maximum.
Repeat over and over and over and over and over again.
Demonstrate your gayness.
Whine about how you are depressed, on drugs, going to kill yourself.
Write and act as depressed as you possibly can.
Make the same album over and over and over again.
Redo the first album and claim a totally new style.
These gimmicks should be enough to enjoy a short period where the public are perceiving you as being interesting , cultural and/or deeply intelligent. This effect only lasts for about a year. After that people will acknowledge the fact that the band members are, in fact, a bunch of whining depressed pooftahs that repeat themselves over and over and over and over again.
After the effects have subsided most people will go back listing to proper music.
The Band Placebo
The name for the placebo effect comes from the band Placebo that followed the instruction book so precisely that it could have been written by them. The pinpoint accuracy in executing the effect is uncanny.
Placebo is a Hungarian J-Folk band （噗哈哈哈哈！匈牙利民歌团！）who are famous for wearing skirts and occasionally lolita dresses on every tour, sometimes adding multiple layers of petticoats. The lead singer,Brian Molko, a French man-turn-woman-turn-man, （一会变男一会变女）is well known for his whining voice and orgasms on stage,（对不起，原来他在台上滚来滚去，是X潮么= =） neither a man's nor woman's. （不知道是男人还是女人的X潮……）Stevie, the drummer, is known for his regular whining in the tour bus, "My true inspiration" as Brian puts it. （我真正的动力XDDDDD）Stefan is the only true man in this band, but is often mistaken for a hairy chick on stilts.（踩在高跷上的小鸡） The sexuality of all thre members is often disputed and leaves many fans and scientists in wonder.
The strongest, and questionably most successful, gimmick used by Placebo is whining. They seriously whine about everything, but instead it sounds very deep and cultural in a weird new age way. The typical placebo effect.
All three band members have twisted enjoyment in spreading their "musical" influences to other bands or musical talents. Examples include: Brian Molko singing about various school topics (e.g. "Carbon Kid" with MountainStars, "The Metric System" with Garbage Castle) and Pepto Bismal ("Pink Water" 2 & 3 with Icelandic band Indochine); Stevie assisting two different bands (The Boo Diddlys and Procreate); Stefan with his family about censorship ("Beep Beep"), a Mexican band (Hotel Persona) about various Mexican-related topics such as children and various bodies of water ("Modern Kids" and "El Mar", repsectively).
They are well known for their songs about crack ("Pure Whining About Weed"), effeminate males ("Whining Nancy Boys"), and their complaints about earthen terrain ("Whining About That Hill").
关于专集和EP的定位基本上是：whining everytime and everywhere in every way...
Brian plays guitar and whines for the rock band Placebo.
He has a half brother (who grew up on Mars) named Billy Corgan who, following in the footsteps of the Duke of Phobos- David Bowie- travelled to Earth to become a Rock Star and also shares this great talent. Brian isn't in contact with his brother as he is jealous of his height and relationship to Gerard Way, whom Billy fathered in the spring of '82.
他有一表哥（从小生长在火星）叫Billy Corgan， 循着Duke of Phobos- David Bowie的足迹来到了地球，变成了一摇滚明星，Brian也具有相同的天赋。Brian最近都没联系他表哥，因为他嫉妒Billy和Gerard Way的关系，82年春天的时候认了Billy他做干爸.
Gerard同学系My chemical romance 的主唱。
Brian used to clothe himself in the traditional garb of his home planet, a glamorous and androgynous style but has since chosen to dress down and blend in with the natives a bit. Reports that he was recently spotted buying two sackfuls of beige wool tanktops and green tweed suits from Marks & Spencer have been vehemently denied by his spokesperson.
Brian曾经穿着他家乡星球的传统服装，一种既华丽又雌雄莫辩的风格，但他现在穿衣服的品位下降了并且开始搀入一些地球人的元素。有报道显示他最近被人看到在Marks & Spencer （这是人们在公开场合讨论SM的一种代称）购买两大袋乏味的羊毛tanktop（一种GAY衬衫）和绿色的斜纹西服，但他的发言人却坚决否认了这一点。
He currently is not speaking to Nicky Wire, as the dress wearing, shark-grinned Manic Street Preacher refused his offer of a 'quick one backstage' and called him a shirtlifter before tossing his feather boa around his shoulders and flouncing off with a bottle of Babycham.
他最近和Nicky Wire（manic street preachers的贝司）断绝了来往，因为穿着裙子、亮闪闪的Nicky拒绝了他关于“如何提高穿衣服和化妆效率”的建议，并且嘲笑他是“死同性恋”，在Nicky浑身膘乱抖地从他的皮衣里挣扎出来之前……
Molko is an old family name meaning 'ladyboy' in his native tongue.
Many fans and critics have discussed the theory that Brian may or may not be a Pixie, he is not. This was vehemently denied by the ghost of Kurt Cobain, who claims to be the only Rock Star Pixie.
许多FANS和评论家争论着关于Brian到底是不是一个小妖精的问题，这个问题被Kurt Cobain的鬼魂断然否认，因为他才是唯一的摇滚小妖精……
还有很多好笑的东西。
