Who are some of the weirdest people making music today? Or in music history as a whole?

Not like affected-weird, but actual weird-weird

And also, say why they are/were weird

Thank you

it probably depends on by what you think she was affected. i think her naming her first born an amalgam of the binary code and a recently discovered exoplanet is weird-weird.

That strikes me as more "look-at-me!" weird, like a twirly mustache

Jorge trying to nail down what a weirdo is, is like tree trying to nail down what a racist is.
