That's my opinion too.
You just have to remind your own teenage years... I was a living hell on earth for my parents, no kidding! Everything that my parents stood for... I did exact the opposite... Music, Clothes, Opinions, friends etc.
Marilyn Manson is one of those guys who can scare out the hell of your parents or other adults! That's coooooool in some teen opinions. I thought it was cool too to shock the world
My sons will turn 13 and 14 next month.. they've been quite relaxed until now! Don't know what lies ahead of me
But whatever they'll do... I will always get some inside info myself on what/who and why they choose to do what they do! If you know what I mean?? I like to know what they're into! But they have got also the right to experiment to a certain level... that's all a part of growing up.
And I still think that that Marilyn Manson guy is heavily overrated! It's all about common sense IMO.
