Clearly. I'm never gonna pretend that ICP were ever not goofy, but I'd question whether or not Alice Cooper was the same at the time before he was decided to be legit by... whoever. Shock rock will always be embarrassing to the generation after, cause it's always goofy and dumb. Even Alice Cooper. After that it's only relevant by the quality of the music, which as of 2017 is all we can really judge Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, GG Allin, or ICP for. And I'd say that ICP definitely get the pass as artists who deserve more than the fanbase that they got. Even if they earned that fanbase by being twats who courted that fanbase.
