Not that anyone asked for it, but here is my opinion (forums are great like that ).

Juggalo / Juggalettes are fans of bands signed by the Insane Clown Posse's record label Psychopathic Records.

Now it was the evolution of a Juggolos devotion to the drink Faygo that led me to believe this.

Unfortunately the Juggalo movement is just a neat marketing trick. capitalising on the typical angst felt by ICP fans. Give the fans a sense of belonging and family, so that they will be more loyal for longer.

I also beleive that capitalising on a persons insecurities is inherently wrong, look at sub-prime lending capitalising on peoples weakness with money / consumerism or diet club capitalising on people insecurity with they way they look etc etc etc.



At some point other manufacturers of records, soft drinks etc etc like to come on board (hence the Faygo thing).

I am not a scholar but I (in my own time) study memes, internet phenomenon, sub-cultures, subtle (and not so subtle) marketing tricks and such like.

Once I'm done with my current subject, I'm moving on to Juggalos, and after that, High School Musical / Disney.

Thats if after I finish my current paper I don't disappear. I shouldn't do, because its anonymous, but you never can tell.

I have not heard ICP in awhile Bro but respect...

You may not be a scholar but you have an intresting point. At least you're not condecending to people about spelling

To be honest, I can only spell well myself if I concentrate on doing so, the only time I will be condescending to people regarding spelling is if they are being an a**hole, or being condescending themselves.

Spelling / Gammer Nazis annoy me too, as long as its readable then who cares. I have seen some posts on here that have been unreadable, and I needed to actually work quite hard to get the meaning out of them. Which is quite hard to do with out coming across as condescending.

Thanks for thinking its an interesting point, I think it is (well, I did post it ). I think it'll make for a good discussion, especially if some juggalos get involved without getting pis$ed off.

I did like your post and you are definately knowledgable. Im getting sick of a certain someone here taking shots at people for spelling and your post was a perfect avenue for me to take a shot too, but not at you friend, respect..

No worries mate, I didn't think you were taking a shot at me, and if you were "Who cares, its the Internet" .

Likewise, I wasn't taking a shot at juggalos, I'm just a bit curious.

I would love it if a juggalo would comment, so please, juggalos jump in!
