What’s a Juggalo, precious?
Well worth the watch.
Whoop whoop
Every Cyberpunk setting has a gang of clowns. Jokerz, Halloweeners, Bozos
the leftist/lemming fashion trend of 2026!
Last year, Ticketmaster and LiveNation invested in a former military facial recognition company, with the hope that the technology could be used to both strengthen and speed up event entry
Because of course
So the Juggalo 's were right?
Man, this timeline is insane
Whoop whoop!
We must be close to the sort of flexible eink display that will finally make Rorschach’s mask a thing.
We become Rorschach. Funny joke, everyone laughs.
Who is this Rorschach guy and why does he have so many pictures of my parents fighting‽
If Juggalo makeup isn’t your thing, going Sith would probably work just as well.
Maybe just an Adam Ant stripe
If you’re thinking of Darth Maul, that was his face because he was a Zabrak and they sport facial tattoos. Facial tattoos aren’t a necessary feature of the Sith.
Are they tattoos? I thought Dathomiri Zabrak just had skin spot patterns?
In one of the books it talks about him earning the tattoos. I think they were related to sith alchemy or rituals but were fairly niche among the sith. Palpetine was a weird one even for the sith it seems.
Ya know, they do have two songs I like, maybe I’m a juggalo now
Just outta curiosity, what are those 2 songs?
Not who you were originally asking but Tilt-a-whirl is so much better than it has any right to be. It’s on my top five lists of songs containing the best belting out of “mother fucker.” My husband may eventually win his battle of getting me to like ICP.
Clown Love!
Homies and spin the bottle lol
Homies is just a great track, period. If anyone else had done it, it would have been bigger than it was.
Spin the bottle is less great overall, but I like it anyway
fr from Feb 2024-Jan 2026 if I was listening to music, 90% of the time it was ICP. But before that there were two songs I really liked: When I’m Clownin and Hokus Pokus.
Spin the bottle
hadn’t heard that one… I still need to check out all the collaborations they did with people like Twiztid.
Yeah, and Twiztid has a few decent tracks as well.
Wouldn’t be able to name them without looking up though, not something I listen to a lot.
One of the things about ICP is that I tend to appreciate parts of their lyrics, but the rest falls flat. I don’t dislike their music, it just doesn’t do it for me. It falls right under the threshold where I won’t change it if it’s playing and I can change it. I tend not to be able to listen long because I’d rather have something else, or even silence, rather than have them in the background for extended listening. But I can tolerate it for short and medium times.
Second time this week I’ve had an occasion to use this gif. Shame I couldn’t find one with more pixels.
Times are tough. You got to save pixels where you can
I feel like you might stand out as “the guy wearing clown makeup”
Alternatively use a guy fawkes mask.
Wait…Yes, but, you have to keep changing the makeup design!
it’s an improvement over having to keep changing my face
ICP is based as hell:
"I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
Out here pretending like you ain’t offendin’
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
You redneck judges with racist grudges
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
If you gotta tattoo, I’m aimin’ at you
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
You get punched in your faces reppin’ the racists"
Speaking as someone who isn’t a juggalo, it’s clear that the subculture represents a lot more people than just the ones who identify with it. Like with Punk, a lot of outsiders don’t look past the aesthetic to realize that they’re trying to convey an important social message and be a voice for disenfranchised groups. They aren’t just people in clown make-up, they’re people who were fucked over by society and this is the outlet they found. Sadly it’s easier to laugh at memes about magnets than to confront their reality.
I’d include the rap subculture as well but regrettably their message became diluted when they achieved mainstream success and were co-opted by the marketing amd propaganda machine as another tool to perpetuate the Spectacle.
I am also not a Juggalo, but every one that I have met has been kind and accepting to an aggressive degree.
I grew up around quite a few as they are pretty common in the Middle West especially middle and low income areas. Aggressively inclusive is a pretty good description of the subculture’s values. There’s some bullshit like anti science and anti education, but it comes from the elitism and exclusivity of those institutions which is a problem in public outreach and inclusiveness in academia. Most of the juggalos I’ve met just want to do drugs, listen to horrorcore rap, and watch wrestling, but I’ve also met some that can’t stand any of those things but just celebrate the stuff they do like instead of denigrating other people and their aesthetics.
Same goes for metalheads
The show Workaholics some years back did a juggalo episode and it was eye opening.
I love some Fago moon mist to this day.
I grew up around a lot of juggalos. The music is kind of just a small part of the culture, it really is an entire culture, one based on acceptance of anyone. At least in the 2000s there wasn’t anything else like that. Old heads gatekept punk, they had officially declared punk was dead. Metal was mainstream. Eminem was the only “credible” white rapper because he had street cred from Detroit. If you didn’t feel like you fit in, the juggalos were there saying you’re welcome here. If you decide to call yourself a jaggalo, then you are, and you’re apart of the family. No interrogations about what music you’ve listened to your whole life, when you got into a specific scene, what socioeconomic background you have.
And yeah your second point about rap is 100% true. I saw $uicideboy$ come and go. I remember in like 2014 they were underground, I really fucked with them. They made over 500 songs, had a huge following for the time, and were doing great. Then they signed onto universal to release iwtdino or whatever in like 2018. Never felt more betrayed. I really fucked with yung lean too, but he straight up said he was going to sell out. He was gonna get money. I respect that. $B are just corpo shills now acting like they’re underground while being the most mainstream corpo rappers to exist currently.
Rave was the same way until it also got pulled mainstream around 2007/2008
Before that we had assholes like Joe Biden trying to outlaw it by saying proving water to patrons was “encouraging drug use” and classifying any clubs that did it as “crackhouses”
That shit was my church and they burned it. I stand in solidarity with Juggalos.
I was trying to figure out where edm fits in to that but yeah, it was mainstream by the 90s. Started in the 70s, by the 80s there were defined raves for edm. But its hard to look at rave culture/edm as a whole since its so old and widespread. UK edm was different than US edm which was different than Latin American edm etc. Then all the divides within edm. House ravers didn’t want to go to hard style raves. Hard style ravers didn’t want to go to trance raves, etc.
The Chicago anti rave law that allowed cops to treat raves like crack houses and drug dens. That meant anyone at a “rave” could have all your equipment seized and you’d be arrested. They made the definition of a rags as a gathering of 10 people and a DJ. Now a DJ isn’t going risk his decks or records being taken by the cops. The property owner could have the venue seized too.
So everything moved into the downtown Chicago clubs and because 21+ and way way more expensive.
Eventually the modern rave became EDM fests because everyone got a piece of the $$.
CoC goes hard.
Thats actually from Confederate Flag off of the missing link album, but your original statement is correct CoC is awesome.
