| | CANA - Marilyn Manson: The Outcast Appeal |
 | | Manson credits Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley (a sorcerer/occultist who died in the 1940's), Anton LaVey, Darwin, and Freud as some of the major influences on his philosophy. |
 | | Manson’s mixture of music, shocking lyrics, defiance of all authority, serious philosophizing, and the parading of his own outcast-style persona has enormous appeal to young people, particularly those from troubled homes, those with emotional problems, and the "unpopular" kids who are different because of intelligence, high creativity, unusual talents or looks. |
 | | Manson’s music now is not always as dark as his earlier music, and his appeal reaches a broader audience. |
