Talk abouat an age barrier. Whenever someone says Marilyn Manson the person who comes to mind is Charles Manson and I have to consciously think the right person. Neither one appeals but I'd take Marilyn over Charles.
When I was younger I have been compared to Marilyn Manson, but not in a boyish way. I mean the GOTH THING

You must understand, I was like 14 years old when Marilyn Manson first came out. So many people misunderstand him. And , he IS (or was) trying to shock people. But, he is also a brilliant artist and musician.
His music is also really varied. His first few albums were more industrial, with a lot of synth. He made one really heavy album. He made a 70s glam rock inspired album ( that one is my favorite) . A really shitty album called GAOG

and the past few years he has just been making really really good rock music.
Here is some of his artwork
