Antichrist Superstar is the largely autobiographical story of the worm who becomes a hateful, irresponsible, dirty dirty rockstar. An Antichrist Superstar, and the world embraces it. When I say story, I don't just mean it has a theme, I mean it's a god damn STORYYY. Insane, yes. But true, nonetheless.
Survey the booklet in the inside of the album, it says at the bottom that it was recorded live in 1997. The album came out in 96, which kind of is a slap-in-the-face hint at the fact that this is a story.
The story, then, starts sort of at the end. We get to see what this Antichrist Superstar is all about. Irresponsible hatred. This is, in my theory, meant to be like...one of the Antichrist Superstar's songs. It shows what he's about, and how people seem to adore the entire thing. Hence crowd shouting "We hate love, we love hate".
After this, the story BEGINS with the Beautiful People, sort of a look at the world around the worm.
For more clues on this, see the back of the cd case. The story is divided into 3 parts.
