    Scandals age badly. Eir y will be visible only at interval – when Woody Allen’s character in Manhattan falls in love with n 17-year-old Muriel Hemingway, hardly anyone has shrugged his eyelashes; Today you can watch movie Deswegenkaum more. Or you turn around after a few years and marvel at , which was once considered an affront. Atonal Musik, James Joyce, Luis Buñuel: How titanically y all opposed aestic normalization, diegutbürgerliche absorption of ir scandal works, at end up yet highly classic and slightly ashamed in performance course curriculum.

    Just last year has shown how ethically wichtigSchockiertbleiben can be. How did we not get used to everything, how many former stumbling blocks are now forgotten behind us, how many rhetorical “red lines” have been exceeded? “This is not normal” is mantra of resistance against Donald Trump, GegenLe pen, against AfD. Creeping habituation is enemy. To make every Tagaufs new scandal is categorical imperative of our present.

    Perhaps time is ripe for a new album by Marilyn Manson. That so-called shock rocker, Derin became target of parliamentary committees of inquiry in Nineties. In three US states by law of appearance in public buildings Untersagtwurde. Whose fans caught up with school references and, just after rampage at Columbine High School, fell under general suspicion. New plate, heaven upside down, which has just appeared, can sometimes still have memories of all evoke, but it bleibenErinnerungen. It’s a good album, Vielseitigund yet from a cast, and it breas Manson’s favorite mes MusikalischesLeben one. But just because it sounds so much like Manson, question arises wher it takes 2017 in this form.

    In fact, album is aware of this. The cover, Manson almost in Bowie-look, black-and-white in high-pitched collar, quite deliberately stokes a Klassikerverdacht.Im first video to album, we know where you fucking live, SchicktManson nuns in heeled shoes and lingerie in suburbs, whole of a Roger Corman optics reminiscent of a cheap horror strip from DenSiebzigern. The video addresses fears that are now history. So, is Marilyn Manson just a nostalgic object today? On every Fallmuss he is at a time where shock ungefährgenauso is worn out like job title “rocker”.

    if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ && !window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-desktop ad-desktop–4 ad-desktop–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘desktop’); elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-label’, ‘Anzeige’); document.getElementById(‘ad-desktop-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console && typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 desktop’) } } } if ( typeof AdController !== ‘undefined’ && window.Zeit.isMobileView()) { if ( !document.getElementById( ‘iqadtile4’ ) ) { var elem = document.createElement( ‘div’ ); elem.id = ‘iqadtile4’; elem.className = “ad ad-mobile ad-mobile–4 ad-mobile–4-on-article”; elem.setAttribute(‘data-banner-type’, ‘mobile’); document.getElementById(‘ad-mobile-4’).parentNode.appendChild(elem); AdController.render(‘iqadtile4’); if ( window.console && typeof window.console.info === ‘function’ ) { window.console.info(‘AdController ‘ AdController.VERSION ‘ tile 4 mobile’) } } }

    Heaven upside down follows scheme of previous albums: Manson and his band of same name make furr wiebisher, and fortunes just to irritate. But wher it is a scandal? Trade video, in which Manson with caliber machine guns around brandishing, as a result of mass murder in Las Vegas becomes a political, how seineMusik it became after massacre in Littleton? This will allow interesting Rückschlüssedarauf where American culture and American scandals are taking place today. Can music videos in age of beheading clips on YouTube even develop explosive power?

    Manson now sings of a song as “Dirty Bomb”, and one thinks: in AmerikasAlpträumen, or, real persons have long taken over once-occupied floor. The ÖkosystemSkandal comes out without rockers, yes without rock. And no one knows better AlsManson himself.

    He always a shock historian. When he came to world as BrianHugh Warner in Canton, Ohio, Marilyn Monroe was dead for seven years. And when Charles Manson Sharon Tateermordete, boy was half a year old. Even name of his musical alter ego looks at Zurückauf, which was shocking, questioning how much energy is still in Demsteckt, which was once considered shocking. Even great ElterlichenHysteriewellen – time when adult people on television warned all serious about heavy metal or role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons as “juvenile Satanistenpropaganda” – were actually already over when band 1994 The first Plattevorstellte. On mechanical Animals It is 1999 “Rockis deader than dead/shock is all in your head”. The shock, Sieverursachten, so just a reverberation?
