the pregnant girl smoking did not make me happy. i have a strange fascination with juggalos. they have to be one of the most interesting subcultures

 

There's an anthropological thesis waiting to happen.

Here's an article from the Boston Phoenix a year ago about an academic librarian who became curious and dedicated herself to figuring out just what they're about.

AGAIN

this doesn't make sense. at all. what are they about?? ARRRRGHGHGHGTHGHGH NOTHING FUCK SHIT.

god damn it.

i met a juggalo. i had no idea he was a juggalo until he mentioned his favorite music the Kottonmouth Kingz. he was a nice fellow. i met him at rehab

Right, what's to understand? A bunch of lower-class, predominantly white, misfits, outcasts, and other marginalized-feeling people getting together in a judgment-free enviro to "let it all hang out" with like-minded folks. Seems like sort of the blue-collar south version of Burning Man. I'd be more interested in meeting the Juggalo dudes who have built the whole thing into a business empire. They seem like some saavy dudes...

From the ICP Wikipedia article:

    Quote

The group was unable to bring the large amounts of Faygo needed for their concerts to their European tours without a sales permit visa because customs believed that the group had intended to sell the soda at their concerts.^[33] As a result, the group's European record label purchased similar quantities of another soda and created fake Faygo stickers to label the bottles. According to Bruce, "The craziness was this: they were not the regular two-liter bottles we're used to; they were some other amount ... maybe one-and-a-half-liter bottles. Over there, they make their plastic bottles taller and thinner. ... when you're doing what we do with them—that makes a world of difference."^[11] During a performance in England, Bruce recounts that he "rocketed one of them bottles off my foot and that motherfucker shot straight up and out like a guided Patriot missile, right towards the disco ball high above the crowd. ... The bottle nailed the disco ball, and ... came falling down ... on top of some English kid's head. ... We must've knocked fifteen or twenty people flat-out cold on that tour ... Shaggy and I both had black eyes and several injuries and bruises ourselves from them things hittin' us."^[11]

I lol'ed.

Also, I'm digging the consistency of their album cover art:

WOOP WOOP

That was awesome Data, thanks.

I don't understand what is wrong about these people, are they racist or violent? From the doc it seems they are just listening to music, doing drugs in the woods, having fun at the amusement park. They keep talking about family and all the hippie stuff. What's not to like about them?

Also, those ICP guys are Christians

except for the smoking girl, that was horrible.

juggalos are people just like u and me and deserve the respect and descency like anyone else. the root of so much juggalo hate is a root in classism + even racism

love some of the characters in this movie! great recommend data!

white people + cholo clownz + torture porn + meth + jesus - magnets + miracles = juggalo

sorry to keep making allusions to Dr. Steve Brule, but that "Maniac" girl reminded me a lot of him.

"what I love to think about this... is a puzzle, and each and every one of us is an integral piece, that puts a big pich in which we're all together puts a big picture, lets us to see the big picher."

"A college professor took two days out of her fucking life to specifically attack us," says Violent J. "Oh yeah, she had it all figured out."

One of the ICP road crew locates the video on his iPhone, and it is indeed withering: "The [Miracles] video is not only dumb, but enthusiastically dumb, endorsing a ferocious breed of ignorance that can only be described as militant. The entire song is practically a tribute to not knowing things."

"a tribute to not knowing things"

lol...

They seem like nice people. I've never met an aggressive or asshole juggalo. They say "anyone can join" and mean it. Only problem is there are a plethora of reasons the average person wouldn't. That's it in a nutshell.

Fucking subcultures, how do they work?

^Good one. Here's another decent ICP article:

http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/11/ff_icp/

My local hot topic went out of business so I grabed the largest ICP t shirt for my Halloween costume this year. What's more hated and educationally scary than a juggalo?

nicely shot. the ethos is cool, the practice - ??? who knows.

Didn't watch the video, but does it mention that they have made a western movie ?

Big Money Rustlas:

If that was too exciting for you, the second trailer has a more light-hearted tone:

The full movie is up on youtube... any takers? Not me tho (seems too exciting)

interstitial youtube ads were for:

INSANE CLOWN POSSE LIVE!

VAPORISERS AND VAPORISER PARTS!

DISCOUNT BABY BOTTLE NIPPLES!

wtf

oh yeah there was an AV Club article on that film too. id look for it but im lazy. i remember meth got brought up a lot. it was an interview with violent j.

http://www.avclub.com/articles/violent-j-of-insane-clown-posse,45406/

okay maybe there wasnt mention of meth, maybe i just inferred it.

/* scrolls forward to 22:08 ......................................................... dayum
