DOES ANYONE IN THIS BITCH LIKE ICP

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.

Also ICP does a lot of weirdo subversion of their own schtick, like they have a lot of rampant anti-intellectualism running through their stuff sitting right next to "oh btw my ass got straight As when I did my schoolwork"; they're setting up this paradigm of book learning not being particularly important so it's okay if you're not good at it, but it's also okay if you ARE good at it because hey, they were too. It's pretty much full-on "where you came from doesn't matter, it's where you're headed" big ten semi-gospel-style preaching all up in this bitch.

it's because your pelicans are goddamn snobs and thieves

I went to Denver last year and just walking around downtown, it was all like "Juggalo, juggalo, candyraver, juggalo
yeah this is weirdly true -- ride the bus anywhere in Denver and a Juggalo will get on at some point. It is written. actually saw some juggalos (in full facepaint) walking around my neighborhood recently. i felt scared, but also excited. who were they? where were they going? do they know how fukken magnets work?

basically whiney is not down with the clown

and yeah the ICP are creationists; they're way into jesus! thought everyone knew that

i did not!!

still not sure if 2 dope is saying the pelican ran away or if he's laughing that violent j ran away from the hungry pelican

I'm guessing the latter

Results 1 - 2 of 2 for "without icp there would be no eminem". (0.28 seconds)

are they the heralds of a new age of enlightenment

truer statement is "without icp there would be no kid rock"

I'm guessing the latter

magic everywhere in this bitch, indeed.

someone shop the "sticker" to say "Magnets: How do they fuckin' work?"

nah kid rock's first shit came out before ICP, that grits sandwich one

kid rock's first shit

was literally comprised of a grits sandwich his mother fed him

oh lol I had never even heard of that, I first encountered him on ICP's "Is That You?" which was came out in... '93? Ah no, '92 according to Wikipedia.

rock is two years older than j, further confirming that his first shit came first

can't believe kid rock is only 39, though that might be because he's been an old fart jamming with hank williams jr for years now.

lol Gwen Stefani is the same age as Kid Rock

and gavin rossdale is five years older than kid rock? i call bullshit

I call "Kid Rock should lay off the PBR"

if this is true than kid is going to be one horrifying crypt-keeper at 50

haha "at 50"? He's there now!

this seems like a good time for Juggalo Raccoon to return to ILX!

fuckin raccoons, how do they work?

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.

My guess is they only really became hipster lols when violent j became lol fat violent j. also making the christian thing even more noticable than the songs about fucking decapitated obese children in the anus but still doing both added to the clusterfuck.

i went to school with a juggalo, even helped him design his first icp tat. (ended up being DOWN WIT THA CLOWN in a classy script.)

My guess is they only really became hipster lols when violent j became lol fat violent j.

but, like, he was lol fat violent j when the motorbooty guys did a comic about them in SPIN ten years ago! I guess it goes in cycles.
