Juggalos don't deserve the reputation they've been given. They are a group of people who know what it's like to be looked down on or taken advantage of because of who you are and have some pretty great opinions as a result. They may have a shorter fuse on average but they aren't looking to fight unless you're being a bigot or an asshole.

Being pissed about this is very on brand for them as it was built by "the man" using the unpaid labor of millions of artists. We should be celebrating that, not dunking on their subculture.

The fuck did Weird Al do to juggalos?

Do you not remember the memes from their "Miracles" video, like "Fucking magnets, how do they work?" The song included an anecdote about how Shaggy 2 Dope almost got his phone stolen by a pelican and lyrics like "I don't wanna talk to a scientist. Y'all motherfuckers lyin', and getting me pissed."

If a tree falls in the woods...

Encouraging suicidal ideation

Well, sure, not every movie is supposed to be great, but the charm of some movies is just how bad they are. Or the director is trying to do something weird. Or whatever.

But something that's AI-generated just isn't interesting in the same way. There's a big difference between "this is crap because the budget was so low" and "this is crap because a computer generated it".

Poohw poohw... :(

"fucking magnets, how do they work?"

The whole world knows them.

I'm from Detroit. They're from Detroit. I cannot begin to tell you how popular they were or can be in Detroit.

They had one or two good albums but as of right now they're just trying to stay relevant.

Fuckin magnets, how do they work?

outside the US? not likely. I would even argue they're not even that popular or known in all of the US. but in the midwest and for some reason Southern Arizona? 100%.

I went to high school in Southern Arizona when my family lived in the US and yeah, pretty much everyone at my high school loved them. I liked one of their albums but I wasn't like a face painting merch buying fan. They didn't radio play or anything, it was all word of mouth and early internet stuff.

in college I worked at a local Best Buy and EVERY TIME a new ICP album would come out (which was frequently) we always had to put a couple extra people in the media department cruising the CD aisles and one posted outside the washroom because the Juggalos would constantly come in to steal the album. You could see them coming from a mile away cause they quite literally were advertising the band with all the merch they had on. But they would NEVER pay for the album, it was so odd. like buying a $50 ICP Hockey Jersey? sure. Paying $15 for the new album? no way fam, they're stealing that shit.

I loved them....in high school. I still like some of their songs, but it's not for everyone. Besides their music and the gathering festival they got into wrestling, made some movies (old western, and more modern gangsta ones). I never followed them out of rapping and the dark carnival, but they looked like they were having fun. They made faygo so popular they started selling it at Hot Topic.

Also every now and again I watch that youtube video of people making fun of Miracles (the fucking magnets song)
