I mean, I fully support the right of Juggalos to look like idiots, say dumb catch phrases, and have awful taste in, well, everything, but...cats gotta realize that running around in clown makeup yelling "WHOOP WHOOP" is not likely to endear them to mainstream society and they should be prepared to deal with the consequences of their choices without whining about it.

Yes, but the problem with Juggalos realizing anything at all is that they're IDIOTS.

You speak truth here.

Part of the problem is that at some point, Juggalo became popular enough to convert a million hipsters.  Not that there weren't a fuckton of retarded Juggalos before that, but at least they had less mainstream exposure, and the ratio of intelligent-to-retarded was a little better.

It's a tiny bit similar to some of the silly dumbasses who run around fnording everything up and spouting forced-random BS in the name of Discordia.  I wont tell them they aren't Discordian, but, some people seem to think the PD just meant to be silly for the sake of silly and try to stick a fnord everywhere.

Of course, one rather important difference is in order to even get that far into Discordia, you have to read a book.  At least the one.  Juggalos don't have that problem.  And since reading a book, to too many hipsters and clique-lovers, is boring, you have the kind of Juggalos that draw the spotlight these days.  It's gotten so bad I see a lot of older Juggalos that have a functioning brain choosing not to claim kinship or identify with the current hipster ones.  It wasn't originally a stereotype.  It did not, originally, mean to wear tons of ICP gear everywhere and paint your face all the time.  Hell, most of the intelligent Juggalos I know own few, if any, ICP branded clothing or items.  But those guys aren't the ones out there grabbing media attention.  Those guys aren't what "Juggalo" has come to mean anymore.

Gah, off on a tangent.  In the end though, anyone that identifies with a label strongly enough to actually emulate the stereotype and let it change their behavior, is probably going to end up making themselves, and the group they identify with, look stupid.  See: stoners.

I suppose the first couple sentences could be simplified as such.

Except Juggalo was never cool.  Not then, not now.

Hahahaha no fucking way hipsters became juggalos, unless you redefine "hipsters" as "uneducated suburban trash". Hipsters and juggalos are at different ends of the spectrum.

So I have decided to infiltrate and sterilize these Juggalos. I consider this a public service. From now on, I will be known as "Doktor Murderbitch Deezy Mac C". The correct abbreviation for you lazy folks is "Phox".
