That's what I always classified him as. He's about rattling the bars of society's cage, and getting them to stick their faces out and bite him. He wants a response, so he looks extreme, and sings extreme, and appeals to the people who like that sort of thing. But, that's just the opinion I've formed.

I admire his ability to take all the shit he gets from society in stride, and keep doing what he's doing. It's not like he isn't asking for it, though. But, I've never considered his music to be anything goth.

I kinda like some of his makeup though...and to whoever said he was a failure...mmkay you obviously are letting your personal opinion, and the whole "hate Manson 'cause he gives TRUE goths a bad name" thing influence, if not completely encompass, your opinion of Manson. On a cruder note, he had Dita von Tease in the ass. If that's failure than I really wonder what success is.
