I like Juggalos. I mean, I've never actually met one that I didn't want to choke, but I will give them this: They are enthusiastically HAPPY about their rampant dorkery, and they have no problem with being an asshat in public.
Sure, they're joiners (unlike us, har har), and sure they listen to crappy music and dress like, well, like clowns, but is that so hard to put up with? And as for their personal hygiene habits, they're no worse than your average con attendee.
Then look around you, at the "normal" people that infest our nation. By comparison, Juggalos aren't all that weird. They don't believe that the best way to "liberate" someone is to drop bombs on them or randomly kidnap and torture their friends and family. They don't believe that God has given them a divine mandate of any kind, and they don't, for example, believe that ICP should be taught in public schools.
Okay, I was only kidding. They're fucking ridiculous. Exterminate the brutes.
Or kill me.
THEY'RE HORRIBLE
ROGER, THERE IS NO DEFENSE.
LOOK AT THEM. THEY'RE GROSS.

Folks who just listen to the music or go to a concert, meh. I'll treat them case by case.
Those who cross into being ridiculous hooligans will be purged from reality with rigteous fury. Anyone who gets in my face wearing ridiculous makeup weilding a hatchet I will GLADLY stomp.
Seeing the "Fool" archetype gotten so WRONG pisses me off.

Looking over this picture, I'm beginning to realize that if we ever do have a zombie apocalypse, it's likely going to start at a Gathering of the Juggalos. If the lovely bloke second from right isn't carrying at least two airborne, viral diseases, I don't know who is (but chances are it's the bloke third from right).
We have a word down south for these people.
A word i shall not utter here.

Magnets how do they work? Really? what a shit meme.
Fucking Rainbows are the result of this, thank god im not on my cellphone because it would have gotten eaten by a pelican but thankfully he ran away. Things like that are absolutely Magic, now if only i could turn into a butterfly...
Uhm, sorry, but why wearing face-paint is bad? ô.o (We don't have groups like these in Brazil)

It's not the face paint. It's the uniform, so to speak. The utter self-submerging of the personality into a genre.
It's like the Tea Party, with worse music.

Spoken like a true sympathizer.
You sure you haven't got any clown make up on RIGHT NOW, commie?
My clown makeup is on the inside.

This is a video of a Juggalo giving a lecture on his culture. Its actually kind of cool, the mythology that ICP created through their music and marketing.
While hes talking about the Joker cards try to imagine his face when the final card turned out to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUb-Jg3Mjys
Has anyone considered that Juggalos are to human culture as random mutations are to genetics? That this is how new cultures get started, evolution, just on a cultural not genetic level? And that it's only the presence of a Global Monoculture that keeps these offshoots so weak and, frankly, goofy as fuck?
Yes, I am high, but just think about it......
Objectively, they're not even that weird. If I was an alien sent to study human cultures, and I was supposed to outline the differences between Juggalos and any other group of deluded shitnecks on the planet, I would probably only be able to come up with "awful music."
That doesn't justify their existence, though.

Yup, but I have read a shitload of Warren Ellis, so I figure I can at least sound like I know what the fuck I'm talking about.
Hey! I just realized there may be an upside to having misspent my youth in comic book nerdery!
Perhaps I might be able to turn my pro-wrestling obsession into something useful too. Beyond the universal theory of Buddhist Kayfabe, that is.

I wish I was. I would have actual minions then, instead of the lame non-union henchmen.
But at least you don't have those collective-bargaining negotiations. Those things can be brutal.
YOU'LL WEAR THE SHINY AQUAMARINE ONE-PIECE UNIFORM, AND YOU'LL LIKE IT, FUCKERS!
I hadn't considered the evil benefits to running an open shop in my plans to world domination. I just always thought it was bad policy from an HR standpoint. I mean look at COBRA. They were an open shop, took just about anyone, and they couldn't even get extortion done correctly.
Ok, I will cop to having lurked here for quite a while. Ever since TGRR used a term of mine in his dictionary. But that's just good common sense, you don't jump into a community without getting an idea of what it's about.

Bingo.
So then what is the relationship to the monkey brain in its proper context? I mean, I kinda dig mine, but I do have to remind myself that it generally fixates on bullshit. Other people's monkey brains, not so much.
Serious non-dickhead question.
