I don't understand why Marilyn Manson is so popular. He sings like he's gargling his own sick, quite possibly of his own volition.

Your mistake is thinking he is popular for his music...

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...

What's more, you can't understand a word he sings. That seems to be a trend in rock music nowadays.

Well it can't possibly be his looks either.

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.

As though anyone's actually intimidated by that look anymore. It went out the day punk died. For everyone with a brain, that is.

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

Nobody is intimidated by it, you're right.

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.

Nick Cave is so much cooler than Marilyn Manson it almost overwhelms the mind.
