They played a show in downtown portland a few months ago. I was walking my dog and encountered a group of them waiting to get in the club. I desperately wanted to ask to get a picture taken with them, but was terrified I might wind up getting beat up (can't say I wouldn't have deserved it, but wouldn't that have made a great picture?)
Say what you will about ICP's music, but that's some brilliant marketing on their part to get people to identify and join them like this as the juggalos. They've taken a page from the Grateful Dead and created a movement that keeps their music relevant long past it's deserved lifetime. These people have bought in to the movement and now feel vested to it like no other fan normally would, or should. Who would even be talking about ICP now if it weren't for these ridiculous juggalos. well played...well played.
Are you implying that ICP have reached a point of irrelevance? I must stridently object, you see, because YO FAMILY FIRST I GONNA HATCHET ANY MOTHAFUCKA BITCHES WHO AINT DOWN WIT DA CLOWN FUCKIN RICHIES TAKIN MY NINJA FAYGO.
Does that OK cupid site not have some sort of a minimum age requirement? The self-described cigarette smoking 13 year-old bisexual drunken pothead could probably find something slightly more useful to do with her time. Especially considering she's already got a boyfriend and is on probation. But then, I'm old.
Juggalos overheard on the 44 a few years ago: "Yo, fuck Spiderman - that motherfucker is unreliable. It used to be Spiderman had your back yo, he was down for the clown. Now I don't even know who he's fuckin' with."
"I'm about as close to an old school Juggalo as you can get. I got THREE hatchet tattoos."
"Yo I'm chillin' at home. I just got outta jail, and my old lady is in court tomorrow so we only got one night together."
It was only about halfway through reading that Tumblr page that I realized I had been looking for a handful of people from high school the entire time. I was unsuccessful in finding them (I think), but it was still a fantastic use of my time.
