| Dissertation Help... What genre is Marilyn Manson?
Hey - I wanted to get a general consensus: what musical genre - BROADLY - would you say Marilyn Manson fits into?
I'm writing my dissertation on the development of representation of musical subcultures in the British press from the 50s to the present, and am focussing on rap/hip hop, emo (and goth with it) and on Marilyn Manson. Now, I know he could potentially fit into goth, but what I'm focussing on is the spurious linkage of him and his music to incidents such as Columbine...
Plus most of the research I've done on goth says that he's not goth, and I follow that way of thinking, I guess. The "goth" I'm focssing on, as it were, is the more romantic, literary, lovestruck, Cure sort of goth...
Any ideas? I don't want really really obscure classification, by the way - hence the capital letter BROADLY, which I'll put in again for emphasis...

"Why did he have to replace it?" we wondered.
"Because he'd cut a hole in it." said Andrew, authoritively.
I ventured that I would just have gone at it between the cushions.
