Insane Clown Posse

Sparky · 07-06-2012, 07:06 PM

I've gone most of my life so far without encountering more then 1 or 2 people this moronic. I feel like I have seen a decent amount of the world.

I can't believe there are sooo many of them at this one place.Some of them seem like direct descendants from the swamps, a la deliverance

It's one of the easiest music acts in the world to slate, but that won't stop me. Ever present, ever tiresome and immensely irritating, I think they are summed up for me in the delightful line from "Miracles":

'Magnets - how the fuck do they work?'

I also wish they were prevented from painting the faces of their kids in juggalo style, I am 100% sure it counts as child abuse.
Their existence is one of the most powerful arguments against God.
And of course the juggalo subculture... Could someone please confirm that it is localised to the USA and a few unfortunate parts of Canada because I really don't want to believe that I will ever meet a representative of it in the UK.

In fact, I'm going to quote from that 2004 article on SA which perfectly describes them:

With nine stunningly shameful studio albums under their belt, I believe that it is safe to crown Insane Clown Posse as the all-time reigning champions of crap.

To criticize their albums for being sophomoric, socially retarded, musically catastrophic and generally disgusting would be missing the point, as their albums are obviously meant to be all those things. Yet somehow, knowing this doesn’t make it any easier to accept the existence of these moronic trolls, or their legions of moronic troll fans who would buy and greedily chug a jar of cat urine as long as it had the official ICP logo on it. Being a Juggalo, as ICP fans are called, is sort of like the opposite of being in MENSA; only the absolute stupidest of the stupid have any hope of making the ranks. Juggalos are barely even human; they're creatures who have thrown away every shred of dignity in order to worship the s***tiest band on the face of the earth. They have the devotion of Deadheads, but their fashion sense is significantly more hideous. They wear makeup that makes them look like overworked gothic clowns, and their mode of human interaction usually involves hanging out at suburban malls and doing rebellious things like throwing french fries at old ladies and complaining that their Orange Juliuses are too cold. They're a bit like a gang, except harmless and direly uncool. On that note, I don’t normally encourage fans of the bands I make fun of to send me e-mail, but I would heartily, heartily encourage any ICP fans to e-mail me and defend their taste. Judging from this site’s history, it’s sure to end in tears of laughter.

Once there was a juggalo in my class and I tried to ask him what the appeal of ICP was to him, and he did so by showing the same level of intelligence that the group itself portrays by saying "what you don't like 'em? We's juggalos, we gon' **** you up." This must have been the only phrase that he knew because when I tried to end the conversation with a "to each his own statement," he repeated what he said earlier. Pretty good case against the group and its fanbase, methinks.

Just watched the video. It mostly just made me kind of sad, though the idiot getting his face spray-painted was funny.

The title made me wonder something: Is there such a thing as a juggalo who isn't American? I guess there are probably Canadian juggalos, but any other country is pretty hard to imagine.

Confirmation on Canadian juggalos. ICP is quite big here, unfortunately.

Yuck. Sorry.

I wonder if they exist outside of North America?

Never thought I could find clowns so pathetic.

Oh god, we have Juggalos here. I've seen way more in Hamilton than in Toronto, though, but they're definitely here. And I'm pretty sure that Juggalos are generally more common out West... my cousin from Vancouver (who now lives in Seattle) says that there's huge gangs of them in the Downtown East Side (which is a real ghetto I hear), and that there are growing pockets of them in Seattle too.

Oh, just check out this fine specimen from Toronto:

Apparently there are also a couple of Juggalos that currently attend the high school that I went to in my neighbourhood. Like WTF, I never expected that in a million years.
