How old are you?
And as a follow up, most of the people portrayed as juggalos tend to either be young, or they tend to be unsuccessful. I guess what I am saying, are the conventions and concerts filled with mostly what the media portrays, or are there people in their mid to late 20's and 30's that slip out of the tie or take off the polo and embrace the lifestyle.
I'm 24, i have a steady job and i go to college and even there i'm the weird and crazy person. Being a fan of ICP just came naturally to me.
What do you do? I am not trying to sound like an asshole, but there is a difference between a steady job and a good job. As far as going to college, anyone can. You said it yourself you are a weird and crazy person. What I am asking is "are there office types that make 50k or more a year with a traditional 9-5 type job that shed the business casual for the facepaint on weekends? How many of those do you see.

Also yes.

Does it ever bother you that while you're championing how much of an outcast you are and how normal people just don't get you. The fact is most people don't care what you do with your time and you're essentially justifying your lifestyle to nobody?
Nope, honestly can't say that it does. We don't go around throwing the fact that we're outcasts into people's faces, it's just the nature of the beast: most juggalos are the figurative pariahs of their communities. I, for one, am not trying to justify my lifestyle (though in this case, "taste in music" would be a much more appropriate phrase) to anyone. I know the vast majority of people don't give two shits about what I do with my time, and similarialy I don't give two shits about what they do with theirs.

Don't you find it at all ironic that in trying to be underground and avoid the mainstream you opt to follow a band which is by all accounts well known, well recognised and in many ways mainstream.

Moreover do you not find it a mite hypocritical that you (in this thread at least) seem to dislike the mainstream when you yourself are nothing but the product of a blatant manipulation attempt by individuals who have convinced you that by emulating them you are unique and that doing it in shuffling step with thousands of others you avoid being part of the culture that you so hate, despite it being the exact opposite; a complete and obvious trap for people like you to be sucked straight into another culture which is just as mainstream and uninspiring as the one you rail against?

Or is it just me?

I work at a FedEx. While i have not seen the suit and tie types myself i have come across a juggalo who wears Hollister and Aeropostale and we had a good conversation about the group and the ablums they've produced.

Has anyone made a "What is a Juggalo?" joke yet? Or is that something you'd only do if you've actually listened to ICP?

I believe that's just you over-analyzing the situation.

Yes, someone has.

OT: What album of theirs did you like the most? I'm personally partial to "Bang! Pow! Boom!", though I'm not by any means a large fan of ICP

No one has made such a joke in this thread.

A tie between Riddlebox and The Amazing Jeckel Brothers.

I read something about this Juggalo and ICP thingy in the Sunday Times supplement, which is
about as mainstream as you can get. There was some nonsense about them being secretly Christians, which was apparently the fact that rendered them worthy of an article. Was that true? Or some sort of self promotional thing?

To be honest, the whole thing made me glad to be too old to get involved in the music sub-culture game anymore. Fun when you are 16 or whatever though!
Actually yes they do have religious sub-themes within their music hell each of the 6 Joker's card had a kind of allegory to them. Which if you didn't pick up on that the whole way then listen to the song "Thy Unveiling" and it explains everything.

That doesn't answer my question, though. I asked why, not what should I ask.
