Juggallo March on Washington this Saturday

I really wish I could be there!  Even better if Son of Sailor could join me.



Any Juggaloos here?  Kiss of Death?

Somebody else here must be down with the kids! 

I'm in!!! What is it?

Do we have to sleep in tents? Is there somewhere to plug a kettle in?

people are  too busy trying to work out how magnets work, homie

Post of the year!   The resident Juggaloo is revealed.

I'm sorry SOS, I don't think I could adequately describe what the whole Juggaloo thing actually is. 

Think about the Grateful Dead and Dead Heads.  Now imagine that instead of hippies, the fans are all Chavs.  Instead of worshipping a mediocre folk rock band, they all listen to a gangster rap band where the members all decorate their faces like Kiss.  Except the band is called Insane Clown Posse so they all have clown makeup.  For some reason, the gangster band is exposed as secret Christians and start releasing Christian Rock with songs about magnets being an example of God's miracles.  The Chavs seem to ignore the Christian stuff.  Instead of eating acid, Juggaloos do crystal meth and spray each other with bottles of shaken up soft drink.  There's some kind of tradition that involves all the women getting the twins out to show the crowd. 

It's absolutely bonkers.  It can't be a coincidence that there's a pro Trump rally on the same day that the Juggaloos are protesting being officially designated as a criminal street gang.  I'm sure there's plenty of overlap between the two groups and when Trump finally appoints his own internal security wing the Juggaloos will run it.

What I want to know, is how do you know all that!? 

I saw a movie about it, but I can't remember the name.  I'm going to have to read a book and do some proper research.

Gonna have to stop you there...chavs wouldn't have a clue who ICP are, they love their crappy radio chart music or that awful commercial rap/rnb crossover cack. Tbh, I wouldn't say I'm an ICP fan myself (clowns scare the bejesus outta me), but am well aware of them and I did throw out a bottle of Faygo that the ex got from a gig many years ago more into old school rap and hip hop myself (wu tang foreverrrrr ) and I do have a soft spot for Homiez

Don't worry 40s elf, I found out after some idle surfing about Juggaloos that I probably got several things wrong in my rant.  Apparently racism is not a thing with Insane Clown Posse and several of their songs are anti racism.  Snoop whatshisface of ICP is willing to denounce white supremacists in plain language.  He claims to not give a F about politics but still knows that Americans are not supposed to be on the side of the Nazis.  Unlike our President.

My apologies to the non racist Juggaloos.  And I'll give them credit for enthusiastically supporting their music like you said, even if it's not my thing.

BTW, why Faygo and what does it taste like?

hehe no worries..and yer right, I doubt many juggalos are Trumpets :p  And I have no clue what Faygo tastes like, bottle was empty by the time it got to my house (prolly sprayed all over the audience and venue floor) but I can ask hubby if you want

I just ordered the book above because I forgot how curious this whole thing is. 

Happy reading:P not sure I quite get why Juggalos are a thing either...can't think of any other bands off the top of my head that have a fan base quite like them (aside from the Deadheads as you so rightly mentioned before) Perhaps Slipknot and their Maggots..but they don't all wear the boiler suits and masks so eh, am clueless

I really wasn't kidding when I said I wish I could be in Washington this weekend.  I'm really curious and fancy myself to be like Louis Theroux.
