DOES ANYONE IN THIS BITCH LIKE ICP

magnets how do they work, no magnet experts need answer, fuckin liars; magic is how they work btw

does anyone know why they got so optimistic and zen-like? what's going on in Shaggy and J's personal life that has made them so happy? besides the fact that they are now making millions

This was the overarching storyline behind the act the whole time. They started out as regular gangbangers who were pulled turned into supernatural thug clowns by the Dark Carnival to warn humanity to give up their evil ways and embrace Jesus. No I am not kidding; it's pretty explicit when you follow what they've put out from beginning onwarads and even at their most depraved, they've always been on some "you're getting fucked up because you've done wrong" shit.

yeah wasn't their whole reveal awhile back that there's a "shangri-la" where dead juggalos go or some shit lol

a "jugga-la", if u will

i remember u (hi dere) explaining it one of the old threads, acting as ilx's sole defender of the indefensible ;)

every messageboard needs one juggalo is my feeling

or maybe it was this guy
Insane Clown Posse Fans. No, they really do exist, BITCH. My question is.....WHY, JUGGALOS!?

The hilarious thing is that they were talking about Shangri-La like back in 1995 when Riddle Box came out but people were still shocked and amazed when they went "oh btw we're massive Christians, you just got SAVED lol"

WHAAAAAAAAA

The album's last story is again about love lost, a man whose wife dies spends his time in remorse firing projectiles into the sky in an effort to kill the angels for taking away his wife. Eventually he does hit his wife, to bring her down from the heavens and ask her why she left him. Very, very disturbing. Of course, the dead angel doesn't give him any answers.

"oh btw we're massive Christians, you just got SAVED lol"

Oh man I would so watch them do an xtian prank show. "SURPRISE you just accepted Christ as your personal lord and savior, BITCH."

*sprays Faygo in face*

lol Abbott

i mean, again, i know this sounds like jaded whiney whatev. but serious question:

why is everyone (on waaaaay more sites than ILX) acting like they've never seen a juggalo before? ICP is all of sudden a hot, followable hipster meme in 2009-2010 when like the clown existed way before most people even had the internet.

At age four, Joe and his brother caught a butterfly, and both were fascinated by the vibrant colors and overall peacefulness of the creature.[2] They kept the butterfly in a jar overnight, and intended to free it the following morning. When they awoke, the brothers found the butterfly had died, and felt as if they had committed a murder. The brothers made a vow that "one day, [they] will make it to heaven, so that [they] can [...] apologize to that Butterfly face-to-face."[2] On every Insane Clown Posse album and EP it reads "Dedicated to the Butterfly" because of this vow.

^for example

whiney not everyone on the Internet is tapped into the Juggalo Zetigeist the way you are

like i consider myself fairly informed on new music, and i knew about juggalos, and but i like didn't *know* about them. i just found out six months ago that the clowns are really into Faygo.

I think the longevity and scale of the Juggalo thing is what really makes it mind-boggling and fascinating

wtf is a "hipster meme"

also ur conveniently forgetting Gathering Of The Juggalos 2009 Infomercial

NO NO NO NO NO not the juggalos or whatever but the Instant Composers Orchestra led (though there may have been some dispute over that, not sure) by Misha Mengelberg.

always lol @ this whenever I see it in used bins:

ilx has always had a thing for juggalos whiney

are they really "everywhere" these days? seems like they're at the same fringe level of exposure they've always been. first time I remember coming across them was in some two-page spread comic strip in Spin in the 90s iirc

The answer, Whiney, is because most people actually haven't seen a Juggalo before. Most people just heard about the Disney controversy and tuned in for The Great Milenko which was kind of okayish and The Amazing Jeckel Brothers which was eye-bleedingly terrible, went "lol talent-free fatties" and went back to whatever they had been listening to at the time. Internet forensics and the trend to pour back over things ten to fifteen years old to laugh at them combined with the bizarre longevity (driven largely by the positive message underneath all the nonsense IMO; a shit-ton of CCM folx could learn a valuable lesson here) and the impossible-to-ignore visuals are causing the current Juggalo craze. It's not really rocket science.

And yes, ILX has been talking about ICP since before you started posting here.

hi dere,

if you are ever in MN and want to see a juggalo, i recommend the columbia heights/hilltop area

Interesting...

Juggalos in the top secret eschelons of American arms developement.

driven largely by the positive message underneath all the nonsense IMO; a shit-ton of CCM folx could learn a valuable lesson here

Been wondering about this more lately. Are ICP embraced at all by the CCM universe? From my completely removed perspective, the biggest failing of said universe seems to be the relentless candy-coating of everything; for all that ICP's lyrical insanities are no less melodramatic they at least kick against the stereotype, however unfair, of CCM as nothing but lovey-dovey nonsense.

I will honestly say that if ICP is embraced by CCM, I will eat a hat.

i'd wager that the entire MN contingent has known about juggaloes since time immemorial---that fuggin crazy axe-man sticker has been haunting the rear windows of chevy s-10s longer than calvin.

xp ha m@tt

declining inner-ring suburbs in the upper midwest are the juggalo's natural habitat

xxp: The vulgarity basically takes them directly out of the acceptability zone (and conversely, is exactly what makes them accessible to the disenchanted people they're reaching).

Also big here in the Southeast too. I work at a mall and see a Juggalo or two on average about every other day.

it was totally the gathering infomercial that kind of got people talking anew. i think for a lot of people ICP is thought of as a weird '90s blip and being reminded that they're not only still around but still command a big following is a crazy wake up call.

I only rarely see Juggalos here in MD, but I went to Denver last year and just walking around downtown, it was all like "Juggalo, juggalo, candyraver, juggalo."

will admit that I was into ICP back when the great milenko came out

The most amazing thing about the Juggalo movement IMO is how people point and laugh at it, but whenever you read accounts of people actually spending time with these people they're all along the lines of "holy hell, I have never actually spent time amongst a more upbeat, friendly and helpful group of people in my entire life". Like, ICP is actually making folks into better people through ridiculous clown makeup and terrible music.

I will honestly say that if ICP is embraced by CCM, I will eat a hatchery-bred salmon

thought I'd make it a little easier on you there.

TRUTH BOMB

i think this might be the animus behind the "sudden" emergence of juggaloes on the hipster radar---coastal dwellers have no idea what lurks behind the strip malls of the n woods.

(hint: a rusty oldsmobile with an aftermarket stereo and a hemp necklace hanging from the rearview mirror)

Juggalos need a Darkon-type docu imo. I kind of wanted to start LARPing after watching that film. The camaraderie!

i mean whats so hard to understand about a youtube video, icp or not, going viral in 2009-2010? why does it have be some paranoid "hipster"/"you're one of them" schemes

also HI DERE OTM--- most of the clowny dudes i encountered in high school were kinda dorky guys that were, in general, really nice and welcoming, esp if you wanted to smoke a doober and kill a suitcase of beer somewhere outside and sunny

get paint balls shot at yer truck, blaow

amon ?

i've seen posts on other (non-music) boards where ppl are like who ARE these guys?

whenever you read accounts of people actually spending time with these people they're all along the lines of "holy hell, I have never actually spent time amongst a more upbeat, friendly and helpful group of people in my entire life".

my last two juggalo interactions were with a young guy with ICP tattoos who was part of duo that was going to fix up my family's cruddy old wurlitzer organ to donate to a church. The other was an elderly bartender wearing an oversized ICP shirt, who seemed nice enough.

gbx ?

never seen a Juggalo personally btw. we don't get this shit in the Bay Area

xpost does he live in rural central PA? still not sure if the bartender was a bonafide juggalo or just some old guy wearing a shirt he found.

the juggalo who took our Wurlitzer also got excited when he saw we were throwing out some old air conditioner parts, as he had some "projects" with pals where they might come in handy. I choose to believe they're building some kind of hovercraft like the kind you'd see kits for in the back of Boys' Life.

yeep

my first reaction is "who gave these dudes a video budget"

also this is the first time I've willingly played an ICP song twice in a row since 1997?

tbf i don't know what band in 2012 must make as much money as one w/ their own week long festival where themselves+their mates are half the performers

I love this photo

Violent J, who formed ICP with Shaggy 2 Dope, told HuffPost in a series of texts that he found Wood’s description to be inaccurate.

“I can’t believe TheAtlantic.com would hire a writer, presumably for his expertise in journalism who’s that off the mark, as well as an editor for his or her fact checking abilities who obviously lives within a reality separate from our own when it comes to defining who Juggalos truly are and what they’re about,” he wrote.

Unlike Trump, ICP also showed leadership in the fight against the coronavirus. The group canceled its yearly Gathering of the Juggalos the same month the president was downplaying the virus.

“The bottom line is that we REFUSE to risk even ONE Juggalo life by hosting a Gathering during these troubling times,” ICP tweeted last April.

Daniel Dale, a reporter for CNN, tweeted that covering the 2017 Juggalo protest “was the most pleasant reporting experience I’ve had in Washington. The Juggalos were unfailingly, sometimes comically friendly.”

That description is a far cry from the pro-Trump protest on Jan. 6 that eventually devolved into an insurrection that left five people dead, including a police officer.

In a follow-up text on Tuesday, Violent J said he was hurt to see Wood’s mischaracterization of the Juggalo community.

“The truth is it fuckin’ hurts and [it’s] scary seeing professional adults acting like savage bullies,” he said, noting that ICP fans make “easy targets because they’re so misunderstood.”

He added: “sad little bullshit like this makes me question the media in general and [lose] a little faith in just about [everything] I fuckin read!”
