Good trivia here. I remember watching the video as a kid (this was around the time Manson had creepy videos and was a bit of a pariah) and it was something different for him.
There was a shift in his presentation over time. In the beginning, when he first started getting big, he was alot more about being this sort of white trash mirror held up to society, exposing all the flawed parts of American society with a trailer-home aesthetic.
Then with this album, Antichrist Superstar, he started getting a bit more refined and the religious messaging got a bit more prominent than before. Later albums leaned more and more into the glam and the Nazi-esque imagery, but even at this early point he was kind of on the trajectory towards the glamrock-fascism thing that he’s since settled into.
