They LARP now?

Because it's basically the same thing as saying "who here is a really, really big fan of ICP/twiztid/Dark Lotus"?
So if you're not, then you won't get the terminology associated with it, like juggalo.

http://landofthebanned.wordpress.com/2010/03/29/juggalo-guilty-verdict-in-battle-ax-attack/ So in other words... kinda?

So thats what this is about? Them? I remember people listening to them in high school. Didn't appeal.

Juggalos. . .that's pretty strange alright, I swear Americans come up with the weirdest [censored].

The opening post seems unnecessarily formal, by the way.

I've been reading this thread all day and I just don't get it I guess. If I want to listen to a ban and I'm their fan fine and if tomorrow I want to listen to someone else fine. And if I want to go out and about dressed like a clown I promise you my friends and neighbors would chuckle and buy me a drink and not be shocked (I tend to do odd things on a whelm) and if next week I want to dress up like a witch that's fine too. Sometimes I might want to wear normal cloths or sometimes I may hang out with a bunch of folks who are dressing up like at the upcoming red/green regatta.

But why on earth would anyone want to listen to the same band, dress like a clown all the time and well, just be a clone of everyone they happen to be hanging out with?

I didn't understand the Deadheads who followed The Grateful Dead" all over the place and I don't understand Juggalos any better. I mean, if you do something repeatedly for long enough it has got to become boring as hell. So...tell me what gives with these clowns?

Yeah, it seems a bit odd to me to restrict yourself so narrowly to the cult following of one band.

To me it seems more or less identical to every other teenage "I'm gonna rebel and be different by joining this group of thousands of people telling me exactly how to rebel" thing.

Umm, well in my day I was (am an old) hippie. But at the time we were united for a cause (which I can't go into) and trying to change the world (we succeeded in some ways) but to follow one band and one "look" and be a "Rebel without a cause" seems just odd to me. :shrug:

What is this deeper meaning they seem to be claiming? (if we can discuss it here)

You don't like Deadheads. just kidding. Seriously, what's up with them is a good question, that I'm not sure anyone here (besides the Juggalo's) can say. I mean, they're out of my thought range... or maybe somewhere else completely?



You want to know the deeper meaning to Juggalo's? :cold: I dunno if that's possible, because like any group, even their followers don't know the deeper meaning. :rofl:

Probably the same thing with the McRib.

:ninja: Maybe? Who's judging?

Yeah when I saw the title thats what I thought it was too :laugh: it's hard not to associate it without giggalo now.

edit:


This clownish tyranny must end! Seriously...
I need to find me a new avatar.

I loved the Grateful Dead but not enough to quit my job and follow them around wearing dirty cloths everyday. I mean, I had a life to live.



If you watched the video they said they has some deeper meaning but they never said what the heck it was.

Next thing you know gals will be walking around in Lady Gaga attire on the streets. :cold:

-I mean, I had a life to live.- Pity they can't say the same thing

Like I said. Even they don't know what it is, and that's why they never say or said it. It's kinda like the feud between the Crips and the Bloods. Neither side knows why they're really fighting each other anymore. They just fight each other. Same with Juggalo's. They don't know what their deeper meaning is, they just say they have one and hope it ends at that. Kinda like Punks nowadays. You ask them where the "X" for Straight Edge came from, and I promise only 20% will know the true meaning behind that is.

Well, I guee the Juggalos are harmless for now and we can just hope the Insane Clown Posse doesn't tell them to drink koolaid.

Anyone who calls themself a Juggalo is just as much a conformist as other groups.
Why's it different? It's not. You're a part of a clique. A group of people who try to be different.
Jock
Nerd
Prep
Juggalo.
Conform and be more hypocritical, please.

Or LARP.
Seriously, my fears for clowns have been rationalized.

The boys if we're lucky.

:cryvaultboy:



yep, that pretty much covers it.

Admit it, you're just too lazy to shave your legs.

Perhaps, it's more than a rebellious attitude, more of a common belief in something other than what they are used to outside of their posse. This band may provide the answer that they seek, or so they think. As long as it stays inside the boundaries of 'peaceful expression', there should not be any problems with a discriminatory action like other cults have expressed in the past. It's all up to the band themselves to initiate control of the masses to maintain order as their message is key to intricate crossings of the borderline between expression and insanity. They can basically sing whatever they want, but their words without music is the critical aspect to their message whether on or off the stage.

Yeah, and it's not even hard.

But it keeps me so warm in the winter.
