Goes to show that you know less about juggalos than I do punk or goth. Juggalos named themselves, started painting their faces and doing their hair and dressing like their favorite bands just as what happened with both punk and goth. There was a time prior to juggalo cliche as well and even now juggalo 'style' barrows heavily from goth and punk (basically any anticulture). Difference is the juggalo artists capitalized off of it and exploited the ever loving **** out of the dedicated idiots that buy anything with a hatchet man on it while independent clothing stores formed to sell goths and punks stuff.
I mean, if you think you're different because goths don't shovel money at merch that literally brands them like cattle I can see that. But also, juggalos don't really have a dress code either. There are juggalos that think band shirts in general are tacky, would never paint their face and you'd never guess that they were one if you saw one. My friend that was raised into goth culture also considers, or considered, himself a juggalo. It's much more open to different styles while your cultures are a lot more picky and specific. There for, it's much easier to create clothing companies that target that particular brand. Even your pre-hot topic 80s style of goth.
