ResumoIn the wake of the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, Columbine, CO, USA, in which 12 students and a teacher were murdered, early news reports falsely claimed that the killers had been wearing Marilyn Manson t-shirts. With his white-painted skin and vampiric androgyny, Manson's theatrical brand of shock rock had caused outrage among US conservatives throughout the 1990s. The association between Marilyn Manson's music and the murders quickly swept through American public consciousness. In 2017, the band's eponymous singer told The Guardian that the accusations of inciting violence through his music destroyed his career at the time.
