Did the original tweeter write “B * S” in an effort to avoid detection, but all those stans found & swarmed him anyway?

Fucking fan subcultures, how do they work? (See what I did there?)

pomenitul, Saturday, 27 April 2019 21:53 (five years ago) link

In case you didn't catch that, I was alluding to a song by Insane Clown Posse, who are particularly well known for having their own fan subculture.

And of course in Spain you have Banda de Payasos Dementes and their hardcore fans 'Los Malabaristolós'

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 13:40 (five years ago) link

Autechre's fans are essentially an autistic subculture. Oh, and don't forget The Grateful Dead!

I'll see myself out

Silver Jews

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 12 June 2019 21:37 (five years ago) link

Maybe a stretch but after learning they exist, people that still stan Sublime in 2019 must be considered an (admittedly, extremely tiny) subgenre, no?

Also, astounded that Juggalos haven't been mentioned yet.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 13 June 2019 18:07 (five years ago) link

Subculture is what I obviously meant, thanks phone.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 13 June 2019 18:08 (five years ago) link

wait how has no one mentioned ICP & Juggalos yet??????? They are the only true example left, besides Phish Phans I guess. but Juggalos are the only true subculture, Phish Phans and Deadheads going to see Bob & co. are more integrated into mainstream society.

flappy bird, Thursday, 13 June 2019 18:10 (five years ago) link

ha was just coming here to post about the gatherings of the juggalos

hollow your fart (m bison), Thursday, 13 June 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link

ICP has a subculture of fans. They are known as Jugheads.

Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Thursday, 13 June 2019 18:52 (five years ago) link

Huh, Silver Jews?

All those middle aged men drinking white wine in the sun.

kraudive, Friday, 14 June 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link

Also. ICP. C'mon.

kraudive, Friday, 14 June 2019 18:46 (five years ago) link

there's one really obvious one that I can't believe everyone missed - Parrotheads

frogbs, Friday, 14 June 2019 18:52 (five years ago) link

They are not dressing as parrots they are dressing as clowns c'mon man

cwkiii, Saturday, 15 June 2019 01:22 (five years ago) link

Insane Clown Posse

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:26 (three years ago) link

Crazy to think that this thread was started EXACTLY two years and one day ago and no one has mentioned Insane Clown Posse yet.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:27 (three years ago) link

fucked up, they are v popular

methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:30 (three years ago) link

they've also got the juggalos

frogbs, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:32 (three years ago) link

Do juggalos know about Insane Clown Posse? I could seem them being fans.

jmm, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:34 (three years ago) link

they are both "down with the clown" (fans of krusty the klown)

methinks dababy doth bop shit too much (m bison), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:37 (three years ago) link

you're also forgetting the fans of Jimmy Buffett. They're called Juggalos iirc.

Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 20:52 (three years ago) link

*thinks about it for the first time, 0.2 seconds later becomes furious that Jimmy Buffett fans are not called Buffalos*

Steppin' RZA (sic), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 21:42 (three years ago) link

what was the name of that group that did "Magnetcles"?

XVI Pedicabo eam (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:05 (three years ago) link

I know they're not exactly favorites around here, but you gotta recognize Insane Clown Posse and their fans who call themselves "Juggalos"

Thicc Nhat Wanh (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:11 (three years ago) link

I actually like them a lot. Please don't FP me.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:12 (three years ago) link

FP? Faygo please?

Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:31 (three years ago) link

Carcass fans should be called Jugulars

doorstep jetski (dog latin), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:49 (three years ago) link

Iirc fans of the Dave Matthews Band call themselves the Insane Clown Posse. Just a weird coincidence.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 23:05 (three years ago) link

I call them frat boys, boom, roasted

Thicc Nhat Wanh (rip van wanko), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 23:10 (three years ago) link

“Insane Clown Pose” is my favorite Soundgarden song

can't believe nobody has thought of ICP!

come on u sleepin'

Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 September 2020 02:19 (three years ago) link

hey, just seeing this thread was bumped -- have Juggalos been mentioned? I saw a meme about them the other day and they definitely appear to be a subculture -- I think the meme involved Juggalos vs. Neo-nazis?

sarahell, Saturday, 5 September 2020 02:23 (three years ago) link

oh shit, also, that reminds me -- the Grateful Dead definitely had this!! I mean, I know I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, but I think "Deadheads" are fairly well known?
