I always thought it was psychologically insane for people to perform in front of massive crowds. Like think about that, people don’t do that in a regular basis, we barely walk into rooms that contain that many ppl. I do believe artist are forced to transform or become an alter ego to be able to maintain that psychological shift of stardom.

well thought out and said.

I had an alter ego in my early 20s. Her name was Lola Devine. I’m shy, quiet, and a huge introvert. I also have anxiety and have waves of depression. Lola was super confident, bold and didn’t care what anyone thought. It helped me become super popular in my town and got into a lot of clubs and bars for free, meet celebs and even did a few model shoots. It was some of the best times of my life! Having an alter ego is fun.

How tyler shuts people down while he's talking is always funny 😂

This is a concept Michael Jackson speaks about, and alot of peopl who knew him speak about the contrast between him offstage and the beast he become onstage. He is the first person that we saw that concept come true!

Appreciate you taking inspiration from different genres, and including so many female artists in this one. I have definitely felt how difficult it is to act on an artistic impulse if you feel it clashes with your own or others' perception of yourself. It almost feels like self sabotage. I will try to implement this myself, your videos are wonderful as always and love all the exciting projects you're working on with the rest of the community ❤

It’s a huge relief to know I’m not the only artist with big insecurities.

I have struggled with identity issues my whole life. I think most of my identity structure is an amalgamation of all the different alter egos I tried on for size. They certainly did help me to grow into new areas and have engaging new experiences. Nothing like being seen for who you genuinely are though.

Just came across this video on my homepage, and wow. I made my alter ego at 17 when I was a closeted gay guy from a muslim family. I did not consciously make the decision to even have an alter ego, I just wanted to be myself freely online without anyone knowing me because it was quite dangerous to be myself freely. Now i'm in my mid twenties, an adult entertainer (cause we got bills to pay ) and working on my music in peace and safety. having an alter ego really changed my life and gave me a way to see what I was capable of.

I think that the usage of the batman effect is extremely important in any endeavours. Chances are you aren't who you want to be, if you are it's likely a self defeating philosophy that blocks any growth. This is a personal opinion that is fully subjective and I'd be open to discussion, but I find that art is often hyper-referencial, focusing on exactly what's happening in life or exactly what's happening in the world, I believe that art is so powerful and it can be so much more than a basic 1:1 mirror. If you've every had such an elated feeling whilst consuming art that you can't fully explain you should know what I mean.

The Ga Ga interview was very insightful. Definitely, relatable and it grants a refreshing perspective!

Good thing i´m not insecure. The only thing preventing me from being an artist is my lack of talent.

it's like the light in the background, when no one is looking it's not a brilliant glow, it's a dull 🍩

This is why drag is so powerful

i have an alter ego and never thought it was a batman effect until this video, Im so happy that there is evidence that surrounds it. Now i can see more clearly thank you

This is incredibly compelling fam. I've never looked at artist alter egos objectively prior to this tbh. Always thought they were cool and fun to create but the amount of utility they offer never occurred to me until it smacked me in the face watching this

Even though I do believe that it would be beneficial and help me really let go as an artist, presenting an alter ego or character feels like i'm not being authentic.

I always felt like yugi from yugioh when he entered into a duel, and the spirit of the Millenium puzzle would take over!! And people would notice and comment as I am usually shy and introverted, but when on stage a beast awakens and the people love him.. I guess I’m not so weird after all 👾

i have personality disorders, alter ego is my speciality.

What popped up in my head was Kobe Bryant as “ Black Mamba”

What about when you don't want to have an alter ego but want to be more confident in your artistic delivery?

Far as Beyoncé goes I don’t believe she had any insecurities. Since she’s been like what 10 every room she’s walked in she’s been the prettiest girl. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. It’s just not the same for everyone. Not alotta people are treated like princes and princess for like 30 years straight since a kid you’ve been told your the most talented the most beautiful and you can sing that’s a triple threat and it actually works out that way like you become a major star. If she did have insecurities there very different that regular peoples.

Ozzy!!!

it's channeling.

at one point i mapped my personas onto the Jack, Queen, King, and Ace archetype... very powerful but you have to be careful when boxing yourself off not to make these characters 2D and boring, or you will out-grow them as they remain static :P

Makes me think of Maynard James keenan

For me, it was bad vs good. I used to go by NOVA. He was an arrogant, egotistical drug addict who only cared about himself and used anyone he could to get whatever he needed. I always justified his behavior through creative expression. But it had a detrimental effect on my reality. I celebrated eighteen months clean recently, and for the first year of my recovery, I always felt a heavy presence that trailed me. I would see what seemed like a shadow following me. It was like my alter ego was angry I was trying to get rid of him. Through self-refleciton, prayer, and meditation, I have strengthened my relationship with God and have learned to truly accept myself. I know now that self-acceptance unlocks the door to self-improvement. 🙏🏿✌🏿💚💪🏿

I have more than one alter egos and they have names and characters of their own, depending on which mood I'm in. Started with "Lulu", a pet name given by my mom, he's sweet, respectful, affectionate and sensitive, there's Mluyoncé, named after Beyoncé, he's expressive, flirty and loves to walk like a bad bitch, loves to sing and dance then there's "Bhut' Mlu" he's a brotherly and cool, could put somebody in their place if you come for him. Then there's Mlulest, he's a carefree life of a party boy who everyone loves. There's "Shoba RAE", my rap alter ego, he's fiesty and protective over my other characters, only comes out when it comes to rapping, only when I want to be a beast on the mic.
