People hate and bash what they don't understand because it's easier than trying to understand it. I may not fit exactly into the goth stereotype but that's the closest I come to any. The goth-bashing is based on misunderstanding and unwillingness to understand. I think the reason for the Manson bashing is that he wants it to happen. He wouldn't be who he is if he didn't do things for the sole person of making people hate him. Regardless of his musical talent, he wouldn't be able to get by without shocking people; the hate keeps him going.
