A reputação de Marilyn Manson tem crescido sendo a banda agora considerada uma das mais conhecidas e controversas da música moderna; Isto se deve em parte ao epónimo vocalista Marilyn Manson - nascido Brian Warner - e seus frequentes conflitos com figuras políticas ou religiosas. O nome de cada membro da banda foi originalmente formado juntando o primeiro nome de um icônico sex simbol e o sobrenome de um icônico serial killer, feita para demonstrar a estranha dicotomia da sociedaed (sociedade americana em particular). Nos anos recentes, novos membros da banda têm fugido dessa fórmula e usado os próprios nomes. Os membros da banda se vestem e maquiam de maneira estranha, e intencionalmente se envolvem em comportamentos chocantes dentro e fora dos palcos. Suas letras frequentemente recebem críticas por seu sentimento anti-religioso e suas referências ao sexo, violência e drogas, as performances de Marilyn Manson são frequentemente chamadas de ofensivas e obscenas e mais de uma vez protestos e petições impediram a banda de se apresentar.
Conforme essa controvérsia começou a declinar, também declinou a popularidade mainstream da banda. A despeito disso, seus muitos fãs devotados tornaram Marilyn Manson uma banda consistente de alta patente, três dos albúns da banda receberam certificação de platina e outros três receberam de ouro, e a banda viu quatro de seus lançamentos figurarem no top 10, incluindo dois albúns número um.

PS: Em tempo, a história de que Marilyn Manson foi na infância Paul Pfeifer, da série Anos Incríveis, não passa de um boato.
