Any Juggalos or ex-Juggalos wanna give some redpills on this group and anyone associated with them? Anyone been to the Gathering?
I've seen dozens of "documentaries" on YouTube now, and many of these people seem to operate as if ICP-fandom were a cult. They refer to each other as "family", they all wear the same strange outfits, they even believe that ICP's mythos, the "Dark Carnival" is a real metaphysical system. Their music and aesthetic certainly separates the fans from normality, just like a cult will do.
I believe it was a tactical move on their part to release the Magnets music video, draw press and ire, and then pivot to the claim that they have actually been a christian band this whole time. Think about it: their biggest target audience are poor rural communities in middle america that are also christian, but the dark carnival certainly seems satanic. What better way to capture that audience than to claim it's all a metaphor for Christ?
Recently, Violent J has begun using his daughter to promote an "alliance" between furries and juggalos. I think this is the same angle he played with the christian bullshit. ICP is a commercial empire, but it's also a degenerate culture that is a good example of how far a simple product like music can go as far as defining how people look and behave. I believe that we should be cautious of homegrown cargo cults like this. It turns us away from who we truly are and alienates people from their communities.
I am sure that companies like Marvel, DC, Funko Pop (Funko fans call themselves Funatics) could learn a thing or two from ICP. They also want to create cultlike dedication to their plastic empires. It's much more socially acceptable to be a Marvel fan or Funatic, but the damage is still done. You are theirs and not your own, you are now a cultural enigma with a schizophrenic personality that is given to you by a corporation.

>tactical move on their part to release the Magnets
No. They really actually are that fucking dumb. They legit didn't know how magnets work and got btfo!
Stupid science bitch
Most of their shit is based off of Ray Bradbury stories. That's where the "dark carnival" shit comes from. In 1999 they started calling their fans "family" with the sole intention of starting a cult. They're literally retards. Wouldn't at all be surprised if they were actually into sick shit.
Interesting, I will look into Ray Bradbury. I do think they are into some sick shit which is why I wanted to reach out and see if anyone knew anything. There have been 4 deaths at the Gathering since it began, 2 drug related and 2 accidents. I do think there is more that goes on at these events.
I remember a mate in I think it was 1998 we were 18, he got a heap of fucking ICP tattoos all over him.
I sometimes wonder what happened to that dude and if he regretted inking all that shit on him, 21 years later.
Tattoos are innately part of their culture, a permanent mark of allegiance to the cult. I imagine he got a meth habit and is now in prison.
Juggalos should be gassed.
Most likely. Its a cult but not some conspiracy cult mate. Its just how psychological conditioning works.
These days its making yourself believe you're apart of the lgbt cult, some to the point of chopping off their dicks because their belief system and conditioning and has become that extreme.
former Juggalo here. stopped listening after high school. still listen every now and then for the nostalgia and the fact I think they're legit funny.
they were doing the Christian thing way before the magnets video. it was a central point of the wraith album.
>Ray Bradbury
Is he the I remember lemuria guy, fucking based.
Y'all motherfuckers lying and gettin me pissed
That's a really low death toll for 19 years of an event that size with people who consume all types of drugs.
Woop woop, clown love, homies.
juggalos are just harmless white trash losers who obsess over shitty music.
only issue is a ton of them are methheads or on heroin
t. lived in the midwest, these idiots are all over ohio/michigan/illinois
It’s literally a trailer trash cult. One time they had a concert in my city, I was downtown at the time with my girlfriend, we had a good laugh at the freaks and tards.
dude, stop
Fpbp
Bitch ass Juggalos ducked out when Slim ran up
>fuck niggers
Do you believe in miracles?
That was my thought. I think they keep a very tight wrap on what happens at the Gathering.
No.
But life after love.

Yeah, because just like hippy and edm music festivals there is a shit ton of drugs being sold.
Also, there is alot of human trafficking that goes on at these kinds of festivals. And there are kids running around. Young children.
Ask yourself why those children are allowed to be there...
I have people in my group that thinknits just shitty parents.
But ask yourself WHY the venue would allow underage children into these festivals...
This shit is happening all over the country in the open air. And all the drugged up losers that go to get fucked up don't see what is going on literally right in front of them.
There are tents, RVs, campers galore. And also VIP sections that are separate from the main group of poor festival goers.
I just started to notice this fucked up shit in the last year or so.
Former juggalo is a misnomer
Once you're down with the clown you are down for life yo
>with a 2-litre stuck in his but cheeks
I legit think they're Christian and you can hear it in a few of their songs
"Halls of Illusions" and "Tilt-A-Whirl" are definitely talking about being judged for your sins. These two are particularly impressive and really show how talented they can be sometimes. They keep their carnival/murder theme while making a Christian influenced song.
"Let's Go All The Way" can be interpreted as heaven or as some 12 year old's communist dream
There might be more but I'm not really into them enough to know their other songs
Also, "Homies" is a legit great song
Right....

Trafficking
And to think I actually have pictures of their gold records after being in the recording studio where it all started out.
ICP was a big time guest on Howard Stern. They admitted some of their fans are crazy. Most are pretty based. Their music is still underground rap even though they sell millions of albums. The gathering is ususlly based white trash with a few based blacks. Not that racist if any. The FBI labeled them a gang because their fans are hardcore and use juggalo language. The bad part is they chill with drugs and have to get it somewhere.
Lmao
If you have the time look up their audio book "behind the paint" they explain how it all came in a dream
It's yet another bullshit by kikes worshipping clowns/watchers/watchman/joker/...
Listen to them and then come back
Don't bother going past that though, the rest of their shit is pretty bad and I imagine you gotta be a juggalo to stomach it
And chicken huntin could be something totally different with all this pedo shit
