There's an old saying. If you don't want someone to join a crowd, you ask them, "If everyone were jumping off of a cliff, would you?" Well, I have. So my answer would be "Yes". True story.

ICP Vs Marilyn Manson
this entry brought to you by scott pilgrim the game soundtrack, "maki ya"
I was sitting in the public bathroom, and noticed that somebody had etched "Marilyn Manson" into the toilet paper dispenser, and it had just been done that day. "Hmm," I said. "You don't see that often anymore."
And I thought, generally if you see graffiti like this nowadays, it's for ICP.
ICP and Marilyn Manson got their starts at roughly the same time, yet ICP has hundreds of thousands of stubbornly dedicated fans this many years later, they have their own successful two day festival, and, somehow are culturally relevent whether you like it or not. Yet Marilyn Manson, no matter what you think of him or his music, has much, much more artistic merit, and somehow has become a nearly forgotten icon from a bygone era. Sure, he still makes records, and sure, he still tours to support those records, and he's probably got some 30-something year old goths who still give a shit about him, but he doesn't matter anymore. ICP, unfortunately, do. How did that happen?

If the majority of your support comes from the South you will never die. Ever.
It amazes me how many people don't care about Marilyn Manson. He is more than a musician, he's an ARTIST. He challenged the way people, and society, thought and he influenced so many others through his art, his music, his speeches.
ICP is a bunch of shit. It's two guys on stage with painted faces telling everyone to do drugs. They can't back up themselves when challenged: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KxTUZ33gdM
