Popular American male make-up model who can be best described as industrial-for-retarded-folk, or shock-rock-that's-never-really-shocking-but-sometimes-cool. Gains popularity by having a few good songs while milking the whole hating-christianity-makes-you-semi-famous thing of the 90's. Got breast implants to try to shock more people, but musically-knowledgeable people know that Genesis P. Orridge did that already (and it made more sense in his case).

People claim he's goth (although I'm sure Manson doesn't claim so), which pisses off people who listen to Bauhaus.

Senseless profanity coupled with awesome stage-presence.
Marilyn Manson burned a bible on-stage, he must mean business!

Marilyn Manson pissed on the audience at a show. He must mean business!

Marilyn Manson purchased a Chinese skeleton of a child. How shocking. He must mean business!

Marilyn Manson got breast implants. He must mean bu-(busts up laughing).

Guy 1: Marilyn Manson is the next Alice Cooper!

Guy 2: *smacks Guy1 upside head*

Get the Marilyn Manson mug.
An artist who relies off of shock-value, horribly applied lipstick, vocal synthesizers, and a faulty goth image.

See hack.
Only Robert Smith could get away with lipstick that horrid looking...

I like the man, not the music. He's a very intelligent human being and has great ideas/opinons, but the music is no more "shocking" than my fecal matter.
A) Woah, I heard Manson in a interview, he's one smart mother fucker.

B) *Listens to Murder* Meh, it's been done before.

Get the Marilyn Manson mug.
A misunderstood and quite smart "shock-rocker" that formed his own band, where all the members take the first name of a famous female actoress/singer and the last name of a serial killer.

Due to the image Marilyn Manson potrays, he and his band gain a lot of negativety, which is also due to he and his band's individuality, as it is far from mainstream metal and trails off further from the Industrial genre itself.
He is quite aware of his image and what it potrays. but why change it when he has such a large number of fan who simply enjoy his music and, being a fan myself, his "pride" in his originality.

He also does great cover songs!!
Marilyn Manson= Marilyn Monroe + Charles Manson

Emo kid "You know Manson kills little animals?"
Metal-head with real taste in rock music: "Piss off emo fag go cut your wrist's to Simple Plan"

1. A musician.
2. Not satan. (or a satan worshiper)
3. Also not god.
4. Someone who is not going to eat your babies.
5. A person who is not insane, just talented and an extremely good actor.
6. A person. Who makes music. And the records it. And then sells it to people. Who then listen to it. And then they go on with their life. And it is their choice if they choose to commit violent acts. If they blame said Marilyn Manson, they're extremely idiotic douchefags.
Idiot 1: ZOMG imsocoolimsoocooll i listen to Marilyn Manson so I'm really cool and anyone who doesn't like him is a preppy ass motherfucker.

Reasonable Human Being: I have absolutely nothing to say regarding your complete stupidity.

Idiot 2: ZOMG anyonewholistenstomarilynmanson is a satan worshipper and should be burned at the stake.

Reasonable Human Being: ...Just go kill yourself. Right now.
