AHAHAHAHAH Thank you- both of you for saying this.
I used to get; "Oh my GOD how could you NOT like MANSON!!!" all the time in High School by idiots I used to know. I didn't know I was not entitled to have an opinion on music. Geez...
Oh, no... it's his looks. His image, specifically. It's just what Middle American mallgoths aspire to be. A pale, lanky, 'independent,' 'underground,' successful sociopath Antichrist.
But as long as impressionable teens think that people are, it'll continue.
And I disagree that this has anything to do with punk dying. I'd say the Manson look died when that branch of alternative fashion began being mass marketed by a little store called Hot Topic, which is pretty much the dark side of The Gap.

For reference, the day that punk died was the day Johnny Rotten went on I'm a Celebrity, Get me Out of Here.
