Then they throw a tantrum about it because they hate straight edge which plays exactly into the fact that they label juggalos and straight edge as rival gangs. It's really stupid. This whole situation show cases the capacity of human stupidity.
Hip hop in general seems to have the most tribalist mentality of the more mainstream underground musical sub-cultures, and juggalos are the most cringey example. Just chill out and like the music you like without making it an identity politics thing. And yeah metalheads can be guilty of this, but I think that part of our history largely died when the 80s ended.
