Jerry Paper

Jerry Paper (born circa 1990) is an eccentric indie musician known for his synth-y pop melodies with existentialist lyrics about clowns and the love lives of fictional anthropomorphic animals. When he performs live, he often shows up in colourful and flowery dresses. Not too much is known about his early life, but he apparently studied 'sociomusicology and philosophy at religion' at the New York New School according to Wikipedia.

Kerbin (Maxim), a contributor on this wiki, regards him as a great example of the INFP type.

MBTI assessment explained
Paper's interest in philosophy and religion, as well as his fairly introverted stance (he initially wanted to play in a band, but went solo instead), seem to indicate an INxx type. Michael Pierce of IDRlabs writes the following about INFPs:


 * "Introverted feeling is individualistic: it has deep, personal passions and convictions that it holds to despite outside opposition, and it greatly values the right to individual freedom of expression and being true to oneself."

Indeed, Jerry Paper appears highly devoted to creating a wholly unique style and appearance, regardless of what anyone else might think of that.

Pierce also writes:


 * "the INFP enjoys writing from multiple perspectives simultaneously because this allows them to explore more possibilities rather than just one at a time. This is reflected well in Shakespeare’s various characters, Kierkegaard’s pseudonyms, and even George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones series."

Jerry Paper declares he does this and enjoys it, as Jerry Paper is actually a pseudonym for his real name, Lucas W. Nathan. Paper himself says of this:


 * "I feel like having the alter ego allows me to be even more of myself, whereas I feel like Lucas Nathan, who I am in everyday life, changes based on the scenario and who I’m talking to. I have to be polite, I have to be a normal member of society. But with Jerry, he’s not real, he can be anything."
