I do too. I pretty much hated all music made in the 90s; I think grunge is awful and so is NIN, but I felt like Manson was a natural extension of what bands like WASP and Motley Crue were doing but reinvented for that generation, and it's really good. I like music that has some concept and theater to it. I still listen to him.
I also like Die Antwoord; I think the accusations by their adopted son are total bullshit. I'm not saying they're good people and I do think they're homophobic, but also a lot of their image is obviously artificial and they obfuscate their true lives, it's clear from reading their interviews. I think they're genuinely average middle aged parents from South Africa, and I think what Ninja said about their son making accusations was to try to get money from them is true. I really dig their crazy music and their videos are insane.
I am with you about Grunge, I never understood the appeal for Nirvana and I think the accolades should go to the Screaming Trees and Alice and Chains. My favorite Manson album is Mechanical Animals. I know what you mean about Die Antword, the kid they adopted is an addict and I view him as an unreliable source.

I always had a weird feeling about MSI mindless self indulgence. Now all doubt is removed....
Dave Mustaine
Ha he is crusty.
Scott Adams. Author of the "Dilbert" comics.
Such an extraordinary humorist and brilliant thinker! Got canceled for political opinion, a few statements that were taken as racist, but which I guess >90% of Americans would get away with.
I nearly had to vomit when I learned how and why the media industry suddenly censored all the comics and everything else that he published.

Justin Timberlake. I’m in my mid 30s now so I don’t follow celebrity gossip as much as I did in my tween years but from what I’ve seen he didn’t do anything too bad? Felt more like it was cool to hate him cos he’s been famous for a bit but no longer at the top. But I still think he’s a fantastic performer and some of the new songs are great.
Kanye can be as insane as he wants to be, it doesn't make Yeezus and TLOP any worse. 🤷 TBF I live a somewhat minimalistic life and I don't buy albums or anything, haven't gone to a concert in almost two decades... but a bop is a bop.
Die Antwoord. The music tickles a particular part of my brain, but they're accused of some truly heinous shit.
