I don't know about the place he holds with metal-heads, but I know if I mentioned Marylin Manson to my dad (60 yrs) he would know who I'm talking about, and probably use the word "freak" in whatever sentence he said next.
I like a few Manson songs, I wouldn't really call myself a fan, so it's not like I was blasting any MM at home as a teen. There was probably much more Linkin Park coming from my room at that time, and he would have no idea who that is if I just said the name. Would definitely remember MM though.
