Peculiar Characteristics that Make Marilyn Manson an Original Artist

Since Brian Hugh Warner, better known by his stage name Marilyn Manson, was a child, he was always rude, and due to his bad character, Brian used to be beaten at the school. He never mentioned his parents about that because he believed that they would be ashamed of him. Although he did not tell anyone all this for a long time, his self-esteem was totally damaged, and under those influences when he finished school, he studied journalism and art Dramatic; then, he went to work as a journalist for a music magazine. It was at that moment that he thought about creating a band, becoming a Rock Star, and being able to express his feelings and artistic vision in that way, but he would need Marilyn Manson to express it without fear of criticism. Finally, he became an American icon through his talent, and his shocking features, which make him vastly different from the rest. In fact, all Rock singers have very peculiar characteristics, and Marilyn Manson is not the exception.

Appearance has always been one of the fundamental elements in the artistic work of Marilyn Manson. The singer has always used aesthetics to give more strength to his music and the message he intends to deliver. From the start, his sexually ambiguous aesthetic, which connected him to his glam rock idols, was his main hallmark. Apart from that, music came from his passion for artists as diverse as David Bowie, Bauhaus, Black Sabbath, or Nine Inch Nails. In other words, it is a hybrid of after-punk, glam, heavy metal in his satanic aspect and industrial rock, all served with carefully provocative texts and staging. The image of the singer has created an expectation that it could be said his music has been in the background. His extravagant and dark aesthetics along with the spectacle that he offers in his concerts and video clips have marked an entire generation and thousands of young people from all over the world. Despite the impact his aesthetic has generated, Marilyn has shown with his voice and his heartbreaking guitar to dazzle with his enveloping, sinister, and gothic music.

Undoubtedly, Manson is such an eccentric rock singer, yet that is not the only profession he has. Besides being a peculiar singer, he is also a writer; he has written 19 books, and that is something admirable. Manson has not focused only on singing, but on many other interesting professions. He wanted to express his beliefs and feelings in a way many people around the world would know them; that is why, he became a singer, a journalist, a writer, and an actor. Into the bargain, Marilyn always wanted people to know his way of perceiving life, and he did it; he found the way. However, due to his rare way to show his thoughts, countless people considered him as a perverse figure who was toxic toward the youth in America. Subsequently, Manson was regarded as a psychopath, and his behavior did not help much in order to prove the opposite; he always had a rebellious nature.

Due to the bunch of characteristics which make him original, he is a recognized American icon; Marilyn Manson has been an important character in 25 movies giving him one more reason to be admired. Even though he has participated in developing different roles in those movies, he has not lost his extravagant personality. One of the most booming movies is “Resident Evil” in which almost all characters follow his controversial personality. Besides he has performed some amazing movies, he is also a porn actor. On the other hand, being a porn actor is one of the reasons for being criticized, but those comments do not infer as Manson is in the top ten Americans actors characterized by his well- performance and fame. Briefly, the originality of the celebrity makes him one of the best characters when it comes to production.

Marilyn Manson became one of the most controversial musicians in the world, was involved in too many scandals, and it all started to fall. He has been called Satan's emissary and was falsely blamed for one of the most notorious shootings in United States history. He has never been afraid of outrage, despite the fact that over time everything has fallen into decline for Manson. His last number one hit was in 2003, with his fifth studio album: The Golden Age of Grotesque, whose single mOBSCENE was nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. His cover of Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus was the last to enter the Top 15 of the Alternative Billboard. In the last decade, Marilyn Manson has been conspicuous by his decline: his scruffy appearance, his low energy to sing and his low sales on the last five albums have muted the singer's image.
