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."

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.

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

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.

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.
― da croupier, Friday, 9 April 2010 16:39 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

I went to Denver last year and just walking around downtown, it was all like "Juggalo, juggalo, candyraver, juggaloyeah 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?

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.)
