Marilyn Manson. The beautiful people





















The beautiful people is a song from Marilyn Mansons's second full length album, Antichrist superstar, released as a single in September, 1996. An alternative metal hit written by Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez, and produced by Trent Reznor, Dave Ogilvie and Manson, its lyrics discuss two major themes: what Manson refers to as (the culture of beauty), and that culture's connection to Friedrich Nietzsche's theory of master slave mortality, the song's (weak ones), who are (always wrong), are oppressed by and exist solely to (justify [the existence of] the strong) (the so-called beautiful people).

When i watched the video of The beautiful people i had no idea what Marilyn Manson was trying to communicate to the audience. The video looked like something like of a horror movie gone wrong, but i found it really interesting to watch and i couldn't take my eyes of the video.
