In fairness to them even Richard Feynman threw up his hands on trying to explain how magnets work. They are still imbeciles of course, but the whole “Magnets, how do they work?” is pretty fucking accurate.
They’re a “gang” like any large group of fans for any band/performer is a gang. One could say Beliebers are a gang, especially when they mass attack someone on Twitter. One-on-one you’re going to find good folks and bad folks throughout. It’s masses of Juggalos, like any large groupings of drunk assholes, that can be a problem.
The biggest issue with Juggalos is that the band they support comes with a bunch of culturally incompatible bullshit like scary clown makeup, not bathing, drinking Faygo, (seriously awful soda) carrying hatchets, and acting like uneducated idiots. This is all purposeful, of course. Mass quantities of alcohol and drugs come with that, which naturally amplifies their behavior and leads to some really bad decisions. Think of the early 70’s punk movement, but dumb everyone down by 50%.
Unfortunately, unlike punk, ICP has built a profitable industry around their fans unifying them and keeping the cult going for years past its natural end date. They’ve been able to successfully tie their fans into complimentary media like backyard/underground wrestling and “horrorcore” films, amplifying the impression that Juggalos are poor trash, further separating them from mainstream society. Tribalism at its finest.
Mostly, the FBI assessment is correct. Juggalos are a loosely affiliated gang of idiots that are prone to committing crimes, mostly of a petty nature, but drugs can make things turn violent.
Also, ICP makes terrible music.
If we get a Great Muta sighting I’ll take it.
That story was awesome. The use of the ice cold faygo to try and reduce the swelling from being hit by the faygo that was thrown at upchuck was hilarious.
Ah, but he didn’t. He merely pointed out that all questions of “why” can be taken to an arbitrary depth. That any explanation leads to another question. But there ARE in fact answers to these questions… they just lead to more. He goes into some of them. So there’s an infinite recursion of curiosity that can come out of it.
What’s stupid about the Juggalos, is that they’re essentially saying, “This shit is magic, there’s no way we could ever know how it works!”
Of course we could. That’s what fucking science does. The fact that it doesn’t instantaneously come up with a complete solution to the entire universe doesn’t mean “it’s magic”.
I heard the Scientists are marching as well… hopefully on the same day as the Juggalos. When they come together, will they repel or attract one another?
Does the mentos thing work with faygo?
Apparently, it does? Weaponized Faygo, how does it work?

Looking for a way to supplement their income, the brothers began adding cake frosting flavorings to the soda water, and sold their beverages from the back of their wagon. The original flavors of their soda were fruit punch, grape, and strawberry.
And:
“I do know that President Trump really likes meeting and hobnobbing with celebrities,” [Jason Webber, director of public relations at Psychopathic Records] said. “Well, Insane Clown Posse are celebrities, so, you know, maybe he could invite them to the Oval office and ICP can pour him a glass of Faygo [a soda popularized by Insane Clown Posse] and everyone can sit around and talk about it.
“In this modern political climate that we’re living in, I actually don’t think such an idea is totally impossible, to be honest with you.”
Trump and the juggalos fit together perfectly.
The Faygo Summit
More like a matter antimatter reaction. Instant annihilation and a tremendous release of pure energy. Conveniently right outside the White House.
He’s not wrong, you know.
So some of the juggalos are nazis? I thought they hated the nazis.
Or one dude made a twitter account?
I mean, honestly, I wouldn’t really expect them to automatically hate each other… both into meth and idiocy.
I was actually surprised they were against each other.
It says they are family and they breed together. Secrets of the master race!
Magic all up in this bitch.
