yeah that's not true. i can't speak for every school but i know at mine the kids who wore ICP t-shirts were the same ones that everybody made fun of. it's more of a meme now than anything else.

i think appeal of ICP to a lot of kids is that they're seen as misfits and losers and it gives them an in to make some friends and meet some likeminded people. hence why 90% of the Juggalos i've met have been losers.

If Manson did it was probably cause he was bigger when Columbine hit. Otherwise he was just as flash in the pan. ICP had a seriously underrated evolution as artists that changed continually for over a decade that never sat still and always pushed forward.
just because someone did it first doesn't mean they did it better. it's hard to contrast the two i suppose, because of how times have changed.
