Subject: Mansonite Category: Terminology/Sayings |
The term "Mansonite" refers to those individuals who worship Marilyn Manson. Mansonites typically try to look like Marilyn Manson in dress and makeup or obsess with him and his music in general. Makeup style tends to be considered overdone and tacky by most gothic standards, and are commonly seen on "goth makeover" episodes of such cheesey talk shows as "Jenny Jones."
Although some goths do like Manson's music, the term Mansonite is considered derogatory in the gothic scene, used to refer to teenagers that lack identity and hope to be considered "cool" and "gothic" by going overboard in the style.
Many goths are fed up with the media's characterization of them as Manson worshipping Spooky Kids and so have developed a distaste to Manson, and above all Mansonites.
