Because they all dress the same, they all act the same, the all have their own guided perception of what music should be and their logic behind it is flawed. Aggrotech isn't any more thoughtful or inspired than anything coming from mumble rap and Rob Zombie is just as predictable and poppy as Taylor Swift. It's all just repackaged in the wrapping paper you prefer. And when artists or people are actually as innovative and free thinking as they like to think they are, it's rejected. Because of that, I will always give anybody who labels them self or boxes them self inside a subculture **** for it. They deserve it for thinking they are better for something as superficial as their manufactured style and musical taste.

This is why I wish ICP had been more recognized for their entertaining nonsense and oddball pop sensibilities than their juggalo identity politics or their supposed edgy lyrics. With another fanbase of self-aware goofballs they might have started something way more fun that didn't include ****ing Blaze Ya Dead Homie or Boondox.
And yeah I'm even gonna throw Twiztid in there even if they were way better than every other artist combined on Psychopathic, simply because they were so instrumental in everything that's wrong with juggalo subculture.
