What is a Juggalo???
From: hatchetrydaz.com
To: The Uninformed
Being a Juggalo means knowing you're an outcast. The bands/groups/acts/whatever you want to call them that we dig, belong to the most hated recording company in existence. A lot of acts have controversy around them, but none so much as Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, Blaze, etc. The raunchy and violent lyrics, wild and crazy stage shows, the constant belittling in the media, as well as their persistence to remain in the underground music scene, makes them hated by just about everyone except the Juggalos.
As fans of these groups, we're basically asking to be outcast by our peers. But FUCK THEM. There's a reason we step away from the happy, smiling, skip-to-my-loo bull shit that those other bitches try to make us part of. There's a reason we step away from the mainstream, what's accepted, or even the stuff that's accepted because it's not accepted... It's because we see through it.
Try to imagine it like this... You tell someone you're a Juggalo. They say "What the fuck is a Juggalo?" So, you try and explain it without using the names of any bands on the label, especially ICP. It's impossible. Then you mention ICP, and people sigh and roll their eyes. From that point on you're looked at as a fool--someone who listens to music made by rapping CLOWNS?!? Come on! You've just GOT to be strange, abnormal, lame, stupid, gay, retarded, all of that...
So when you turn your back on them, you're turning towards a group of people who've gone through all of the same shit you have. They know what it's like. They see through the shit you do, they like most of the same stuff you do, and most of all, they understand.
That creates an instantaneous bond between Juggalos. Once you sink in a little, it becomes family. Granted, there's some bitching between different groups of Juggalos, mainly over drama they've gone thru, but bottom line is that it's us against everyone else. And we keep it tightly knit because of that.
In my time being down with the clown, I've seen and heard a lot of crazy shit Juggalos have done for each other, from ninjas giving each other free food at their respective fast food joints, to the Juggalo in Cleveland who said "Fuck the interview," and gave someone a job just because they were sporting a hatchetman necklace. The Juggalo in human resources got canned when his boss found out the kid he hired didn't even graduate highschool, but still--that's Juggalo love.
But that's what it is. It's Juggalo love. Respect and admiration for those like you, and being able to get it back equally!
