I liked his music in middle school. However, I hated the fruity emos kids that liked it in my school. They made me mad, mainly because their very nature was contradictory ("Let's go against the grain but all dress exactly the same as each other"). Manson truly goes against the grain though. His music is alright, but he isn't much different than a creepy Lady Gaga. Theatrics. I think Trent Reznor beat him to the punch, just without all the makeup and surgeries.
I'm sure the link is on this thread somewhere so I won't bother posting it, but I've always loved the video for "Beautiful People".
