In their songs, their pictures, their stories on Instagram. What we are looking for is an authentic impression. Real feelings on real faces. But what happens when they cover their face with a mask? Permanently, as a second face. The phenomenon can be found in the mainstream as well as in the underground. The mask does not break with the ideal of authenticity. Rather, depending on how it is staged, it refers to the most diverse discourses, can appear cool or grotesque, become a logo or create anonymity. The essay uses mainly two examples (Sido, Slipknot) to show how the mask constructs the persona of pop stars - and thus reveals structures of pop music. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content. 0aCommunication. 0aCulturexStudy and teaching. 0aPopular Culture. 0aClothing and dressxSocial aspects. 0aHuman body in popular culture. 0aPopular music.14aMedia and Communication.24aCultural Studies.24aPopular Culture.24aFashion and the Body.24aPop and Rock.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978366267251808iPrinted edition:z978366267253240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-67252-5
