In the past, band members dressed in outlandish makeup and costumes, and engaged in intentionally shocking behavior both onstage and off. Their lyrics often received criticism for their anti-religious sentiment and references to sex, violence and drugs, while their live performances were frequently called offensive and obscene. On several occasions, protests and petitions led to the group being blocked from performing, with at least three US states passing legislation banning the group from performing at state-owned venues. They released a number of platinum-selling albums, including Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998). These albums, along with their highly stylized music videos and worldwide touring, brought public recognition to Marilyn Manson. In 1999, news media, infamously, falsely blamed the band for influencing the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre.
As this controversy began to wane throughout the 2000s, so did the band's mainstream popularity. Despite this, Jon Wiederhorn of MTV, in June 2003, referred to Marilyn Manson as "the only true artist today". Marilyn Manson is widely regarded as being one of the most iconic and controversial figures in rock music, with the band and its lead singer influencing numerous other groups and musicians, both in metal-associated acts and also in wider popular culture. VH1 ranked Marilyn Manson as the seventy-eighth best rock band on their 100 Great Artists of Hard Rock. They were inducted into the Kerrang! Hall of Fame in 2000, and have been nominated for four Grammy Awards. In the U.S., the band has seen ten of its releases debut in the top ten, including two number-one albums. Marilyn Manson have sold in excess of 50 million records worldwide.

In "This Is the New Shit," Marilyn Manson is commenting on the repetitive nature of pop culture and society as a whole. He begins the song by acknowledging that everything has been said before and there’s nothing left to say anymore. In a world where everything is the same, you simply have to ask for it by name.
Manson then proceeds into a chorus of "Babble babble bitch bitch, Rebel rebel party party, Sex sex sex, and don't forget the violence" which appears to be a satirical jab at the formulaic and shallow nature of mainstream music. He references the meaningless slogans and cliches that are commonly found in pop culture, and encourages his audience to sing along.
The final verse shifts the focus of the song to be more inward, addressing his listeners directly. Manson talks about how tomorrow is never coming and this is the new shit, and asks if we want it. Clearly, we do - and he encourages us to stand up and admit it. He follows with "Let us entertain you" as if to say, even if it's all the same, at least it's entertaining.
