Like if you’re an obvious outsider, like a dude in a suit, Juggalos will be far more inviting than Dead Heads were. Dead Heads were like we found the answer but Juggalos are like we found something we like. Like as long as you say openly you’re not a Juggalo and you’re just a casual fan they’re like cool. Dead Heads were always like oh you just don’t get it man.

Not completely true. They like to paint that picture though. Juggalos used to jump people for liking Eminem. Like, if you went to a juggalo show with Eminem merchandise you'd get jumped. They definitely did not take well to Tila or BubbaSparxxx. Anything they think is mainstream or too popular they will hate with out thinking twice. Why I find them annoying. Plus their trendy hatred of Emos, Hipsters etc. that every body jumps on the bandwagon of.
And Batlord, don't blame the fans for ICP's ****ty music. If ICP was pandering to juggalos they would put out another Hell's Pit. Juggalos have been begging ICP to go back to doing darker music like that again. A lot of juggalos hate their new poppy bull****. That's all ICP. They chose to cover Christina Agulara while juggalos wanted another Hell's Pit. They chose to rap about magnets while juggalos wanted another Riddle Box. This ****ty development of the past decade is all Violent J's idea that he's been trying to shove down the juggalos throats. In fact, Violent J said the he didn't even really want to do that album because after Shangri La he wanted to make happier music or something because he found god or some dumb ****.
And I still take Marilyn Manson. His first 4 albums were incredible. The 5th was alright then he definitely fell off losing his creativity. He seems to be making a comeback, but no where near as good as it once was. I think Manson was more shocking because he was more raw and real than Cooper who was goofy and campy to me. Manson made genuinely disturbed music that attracted genuinely disturbed people and I think that shocked more people than Cooper did. I remember watching something where Manson received a really depressing letter from a 12 year old that was written in his own blood. Not only that, but Manson had a point. He wasn't just shocking for the shake of shocking. He had intelligent things to say. That's not something you see a lot of in shocking artists. Manson in his heyday was a cultural icon and a voice for a generation. He was probably the last artist to really scare people too.
