[@Ellenslife851]

Almark funny you say this I was born in the 90s and I have a touch of goth

[@Skullkan6]

Yeah, but Manson nearly killed the creepy idolization of rock stars, nearly lethal blow it somehow survived. That's worth most casualties, although the casualty of goths is pretty bad

[@Ellenslife851]

Skullkan6 True I guess I don’t think Marilyn Manson is that bad but he is isn’t my top favorite musician. I can honestly say I’ve heard bands from the 90s that made better music than Manson did

[@Lugh444]

Spit Dragon if you can't find good music its you're own fault. Stop listening to the radio for your music. Rage against the machine? They were a pop band! There has always been an unbroken chain of awesome music. The music industry will exploit what is cool/most popular, until it isn't. Doesn't mean it went anywhere, it just stopped selling. Just like how bands didn't stop using vinyl. I only buy records.

[@mniscmoney]

I don't even think the song was written for the film. I think the staff just saw Tim Curry making up his own song in front of the camera while it was left on and the director decided to leave the footage in and edit in some special effects to make it look like a music video. And that goes to show just how genius Tim Curry is.
