To Get Things Rolling: The Juggalo

Juggalo. Insane Clown Posse. Psycopathic everything. When you see someone walking down the street of your town with a Twiztid hoodie on, Insane Clown Posse T-shirt, Hatchet Man bandana hanging from their pocket, Blaze Ya Dead Homie hat, and big Hatchet Man chain around their neck, do you think they might be gang related? Well, as it turns out, you couldn't be more wrong. Most Juggalo's tend to be seen covered head-to-toe in Psycopathic gear, and are sometimes seen making a WC (Wicked Clowns) with their hands, this has nothing to do with gang activity. Juggalo's are very strong to their faith and follow the Psycopathic Records artist base very closely. Insane Clown Posse were the founders of this now massive fan base, creating a new religion for those who just don't belong in day-to-day society. We've all seen the teenager walking through school wearing all black, headphones in and eyes to the ground. Have you ever stopped them to ask how they're doing or to even introduce yourself? Probably not. Would you give them a chance? Most people would try and avoid these people because of the way they dress or the way they come across socially. These people aren't monsters and chances are they won't murder you if you talk to them. But still you keep walking and don't look back. Insane Clown Posse, formerly Inner City Posse, has created a society where out-of-the-ordinary people can have something to believe in, and a new adopted family to always have their backs.

Insane Clown Posse is very negatively stereotyped by the lyrics to many of their songs. Death and murder tend to be predominant in their music. But it's nothing more then some twisted entertainment for those who are a little sick in the head. If you think that their is nothing more to the music then death and despair, again, your way off. The Juggalo faith is not a religion, more a dinomination of Christianity. Find it hard to believe? Let me enlighten your scepticism.
