In 1996, Marilyn Manson recorded “The Beautiful People” for his album “Antichrist Superstar” for Interscope Records and Nothing Records. While many of the rock videos of the era featured shocking elements for the sake of invoking a reaction from viewers, Manson’s work was as real as it gets.

Manson sparked controversy in November 2021 as he joined the ranks of fellow artists Kanye West and Justin Beiber for Ye’s Halloween Sunday Service.
