"The Beautiful People" is a song by Marilyn Manson which is a description of the way you need to survive in capitalistic society. It deals with Manson's personal struggle of being a wormboy (or middle-class loser) to being a famous Rock Star. He's making a link between the American Media and Nazi propaganda, as well as the need to to be physically perfect because of the hyper-reality we are brainwashed by. It's also about the Rock Star looking down on the worms that make him what he is - this need to be more than a worm is what made him a star. The average rebel can relate to the song because Manson is making ugly fashionable, which is easier to achieve than the perfection we see on other CD covers and on MTV.

The "Antichrist Superstar" is a character Manson took on to make people question their belief in God. It is a play on "Jesus Christ, Superstar," which was the name of a Broadway play.
Radio stations usually play an edited version that says, "every other hater" rather than "every motherf***er."
