Sorry if it seems like I'm hijacking your topic, Snooty, but I'm sick, I'm at home, and I've got nothing better to do than lurk around on some forums.

Why do Juggalos/Juggalettes have that make-up for?
Quite simply: to emulate the band itself. It's like people who wear masks to Slipknot concerts.

To expand (should of said this in previous question!) Does it have any meaning, or was it just something random that stuck?

What is you're favourite tune from them, I do like pass me by a lot, mainly because it's rather deep and meaningful, in contrast to most of the other ICP songs, even if it does have it's fair share of juvenile lyricism. Which seems to me why most people dislike them so much in the first place.

No real meaning behind it (at least not that I know of) other than showing how dedicated of a fan you are. It's a symbol that, like the band itself, you really don't give a fuck about what other people think of you, thus giving you the confidence to walk around with a painted face. We're all just a buncha Wicked Clowns.

Since i know a majority of the hate-filled questions will be about Magnets and how they work i will explain that very thing.
Magnets are pieces of rock that have been on the ground for so long, that they still have some gravity in them. Duh.

Jokes aside, I have actually no idea what that "Insane Clown Posse" is. Care to explain?
They are an Hip-Hop/Rap duo performing in the style of Horrorcore and they are mainly underground to put it in terms.

Question, wasn't ICP supposed be a kinda Anti-establishment type musical group? At least that was the impression I was always given, then I saw them on WWE (or WWF or whatever its called now). My question would be, do you think ICP gave up on that kind of "anti-sellout" type image and decided to start making money?
That's what the Bizaar/Bizarr albums were doing but that didn't go over so well (not many of the fans liked it and also at that time they had conflicts with the record company producing them as well). Now as for the WWE part yes they were a part of the company as part of the Oddities stable. However after Vince didn't promote an album they were releasing at the time as he promised he would they left and formed their own wrestling promotion known as JCW (Juggalo Championshit Wrestling)which is still active today and sometimes features various legends of wrestling in their live shows.

Of all their tunes my favorite are as followed. The Joker's Wild (Riddlebox), Cotton Candy (Tunnel of Love), Chicken Huntin Slaughterhouse remix (Riddlebox, The Loons (Ringmaster), Wizard of the Hood (Carnival of Carnage, Terrible (Amazing Jeckel Brothers), Mad Professor (Amazing Jeckel Brothers), Piggy Pie (The Great Milenko), Neden Game (Great Milenko), I Want My Shit (Amazing Jeckel Brothers), Night of the 44 (The Wraith: Hell's Pit), Homies (The Wraith: Shangri La), Thy Unveiling (Wraith: Shangri La). There's many many more i like but of the first 6 Joker's Cards those are my favs. I also can recommend their forgotten freshness albums and their song's when they were known as Inner City Posse the original name.

Now as for you RJ 17 i do not mind you answering certain questions for i am a busy man, so feel free to answer them if i do not get to them right away. I will answer them in due time and perhaps my answers maybe different from yours but in the big picture can still provide information to those who do not know about this culture if you will.

Why define yourself in a certain way just because you like a certain thing?

I mean halo fans dont get called "haloers" and have a thing were they all walk around in master chief cosplay, so why do fans of a second rate rap band do it?

In fact why do Bronies get called Bronies? It makes no sense and just strikes me as the pits of anorak behaviour.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to your newsletter.

I'm not really sure what the Juggalo thing is about. Are they the weird people who go around dressed as clowns or just the regular fans?

The term comes from ICP themselves and it's just how they address their fanbase, same with people who really like My Little Pony. It's just a term made by the creators to associate with their fans.

We are just fans of the group and donning the face paint the way we do is a way of showing support for them, and yes some are very weird peoples but that's how we get along.

How come every ICP fan I come across is a dick? I mean they seem nice at first and they ask me if I like ICP and I say no (and I'm not even mean about it), they get all butt hurt and threaten to kick my ass and shit?

Seriously when someone tells me they don't like a band I like I don't threaten to kick their ass, I'm just like "That's cool."

'Tis where the meme comes from. According to the TVtropes and Know Your Meme pages, it was actually a conscious attempt to create a meme - one of the few successful ones.

Will Mega Man Legends 3 ever see the light of day again, or is it doomed forever?

Also, will you buy me a copy of Mega Man Legends 2? It's expensive and I just got a new computer, so I don't want to buy it myself.

It was a meme that was created from the line "Fuckin Magnets how do they work?" in their song Miracles. a song that haters didn't get the meaning behind it and made fun of it to that point.

That's just people and unfortunately as with many groups a few bad apples cause a bad impression for the whole.

Maybe if the pub and devs get off their asses. Also no.

Specifically it goes hand-in-hand with the whole "not caring what other people think of us" deal. Juggalos are weirdoes, oddballs, and in some cases pariahs. Being a Juggalo defines us as standing out from the norm and mainstream.

For more information, please listen to this song:

This is unfortunately the case, and it comes from the majority of their fanbase being considered as outcasts from the rest of society. However, as with all groups, Juggalos shouldn't be defined by what some of them do. There's two types of Juggalos out there: the angry ones as you mentioned, and the laid back ones such as myself who just really don't give two shits about it if people say they don't like ICP. I've been given so much shit over the whole magnets deal that I just ignore it now. I tried explaining the over-all point behind those lyrics and that song in general, but they just keep making fun of the (admittedly) foolish sounding lyrics. They just don't get it, they don't want to get it, so I've stopped trying to make them get it.

If you liked Pass Me By, I get the feeling you'll LOVE Nothing's Left (from The Amazing Jeckel Brothers)


As for my personal fav. list, I'll go by album: Carnival of Carnage "Never Had It Made" (I haven't listened to this album in far too long, this is the only song I can remember from it. xP) Ring Master: Wagon Wagon, Wax Museum, Fun House, House of Mirrors, The Loons. Riddlebox: Headless Boogie, Toy Box, 12. (though the entire album is great). Great Milenko: Pass Me By, House of Horrors, Under the Moon, Boogie Woogie Woo, What is a Juggalo?, Neden Game (out of all ICP songs, this one seems to be the song most likely to be enjoyed by non-ICP fans) and again, this entire album is fantastic. Jeckel Brothers: I Want My Shit, Assassin, Echoside, Nothing's Left, Bitches, Another Love Song, Play With Me (good god I love this song...GREAT beat to it). Wraith, Shangrila: Walk Into The Light, Homies, Ain't Yo' Bidness, Thy Unvieling (this song reviels a secret about ICP that many would find surprising if not unbelievable, but if you had listened to all their music up until this album, you SHOUOLD have already known it). Wraith, Hell's Pit: Walk Into The Darkness, Burnin' Up, Night of the 44, The Witch, Sedatives, Falling Angels (beautiful song).

Keeping with what Snooty said before, these are just from the original Six Joker Card albums, there are plenty of other songs out there that are great, and really all the Joker Cards are great albums in their entireity...but this is coming from a Juggalo, so it's understandable if you disagree. :p

Very serious question here.

We all look to fit in, but why do people need to defend their "colours" even when not under threat?

I think "Juggalos" are a stupid idea, like "Maggots" (SlipKnot), not because of their musical taste but:
-- The actual "idea" of joining a group like those
-- The bad fanbase

It's like sports. Everyone around the world has heard of us Europeans smashing towns because our team missed a penalty.

It does sound cool to have a gang and feel like you're "fighting" for your homies, but smashing towns (or making noise about how everyone sucks for not liking SlipKnot) is just retarded.


Again, I refer to my question "why defend it even not under attack?"

Yes as the topic name implies i am indeed a fan of Insane Clown Posse, so i know of all the hate that will come towards me. However if anyone does have a decent question to ask i implore you to do so.

Since i know a majority of the hate-filled questions will be about Magnets and how they work i will explain that very thing.

Magnets work by producing a magnetic field which is invisible to the naked eye but can attract magnetic materials such as iron. We got the term from Greece where magnet was short for the term "Stone of Magnesia" a region where Lodestones, a naturally magnetic stone, were known to be found. That's just a summary for i don't think i need to write a whole paragraph on that.

Now with that out of the way...BRING IT ON HATERS!!!
Ignoring the fact that I got this confused with "Jigallo", do you own an amusing magnet T-shirt? What first attracted you to their music? Was it before that magnet thing garnered mass public recognition?

If you'd been a Jigallo, I'd have told you that word sounds ridiculous, and you might as well say "male whore".

Unfortunately, that does happen quite a bit here in Northern England. So it's not totally unfounded...

The simple answer: the fact that we paint our faces and dress like wicked clowns. :p

But here's the big difference, as paraphrased from an ICP song. Other rappers rap about all their bitches and drugs and money and bling...ICP raps about stuff like fucking a bee hive, killing biggoted rednecks, and if you listen closely: echos of a faith in god.

If you don't wanna listen carefully to the messages in the majority of their songs, then it an be spelled out in this one:
