Marilyn Manson has launched a scathing attack on ‘sports metal’ acts like Korn and Limp Bizkit on an essay posted on his official website, referring to them as “illiterate apes”.
In a rant against apathy, ‘Christian’ America, record companies who sell sanitised TV and music, he says
“We have been conditioned to have low expectations and our standards have become less than primitive.
“The illiterate apes that beat your ass in highschool for being a “fag” now sell you tuneless testosterone anthems of misogyny and pretend to be outsiders to a world that they were born to wear their ADIDASS-FILGERING uniforms in. And we buy it up, helplessly.”
In an emotive call to resistance, the manifesto begs people to “Paint it, record it, write it down before they kill you with their slow poisonous stupidity.”
“This Internet is your middle finger to the universe, don’t let them break it.”
He signs off as The third and final Beast Marilyn Manson.
