In '94 or so, when 'Loser' was released, it was as if Beck's act was to appear drunk/mentally impaired at all costs. Even the song itself, his speech is slurred etc. Interviews from this time show him acting quite bizarre (i.e. throwing shoes around a room, acting incoherently). Whereas a few years later he started acting like a serious artist, so to speak.

I recall there was an interview where he explained it was his way of dealing with his sudden huge celebrity status.

It was the 90s. Bands that didn't expect to ever make it big suddenly became huge. He probably had a little bit of a nervous breakdown.

He was possessed by Xenu and had to go to Narconon, before getting early on set stage IV piccolo. Narconon has a 112% success rate dealing with piccolo, and when he came out, he looked like a new man. Didn't look a day over sperm.
