I am also not a Juggalo, but every one that I have met has been kind and accepting to an aggressive degree.

I grew up around a lot of juggalos. The music is kind of just a small part of the culture, it really is an entire culture, one based on acceptance of anyone. At least in the 2000s there wasn't anything else like that. Old heads gatekept punk, they had officially declared punk was dead. Metal was mainstream. Eminem was the only "credible" white rapper because he had street cred from Detroit. If you didn't feel like you fit in, the juggalos were there saying you're welcome here. If you decide to call yourself a jaggalo, then you are, and you're apart of the family. No interrogations about what music you've listened to your whole life, when you got into a specific scene, what socioeconomic background you have.

And yeah your second point about rap is 100% true. I saw $uicideboy$ come and go. I remember in like 2014 they were underground, I really fucked with them. They made over 500 songs, had a huge following for the time, and were doing great. Then they signed onto universal to release iwtdino or whatever in like 2018. Never felt more betrayed. I really fucked with yung lean too, but he straight up said he was going to sell out. He was gonna get money. I respect that. $B are just corpo shills now acting like they're underground while being the most mainstream corpo rappers to exist currently.

The show Workaholics some years back did a juggalo episode and it was eye opening.

Same goes for metalheads

Thats actually from Confederate Flag off of the missing link album, but your original statement is correct CoC is awesome.

How the hell you think Wash came back?

i've only got 16 megabytes of ram left and it took me half an hour to render that gif!

That’s Chris Rock, you’re thinking of the dude from Mr Robot

From wookiepedia:

Physical characteristics

Distinctions

Vestigial horns,[1] two hearts,[3] facial tattoos

Elsewhere

The majority of Zabraks wore facial tattoos which often indicated familial ties, but could also simply be based on an individual's personal taste.

In one of the books it talks about him earning the tattoos. I think they were related to sith alchemy or rituals but were fairly niche among the sith. Palpetine was a weird one even for the sith it seems.

Yah, it was a big ol subculture in the 00s. Still kinda around but nowhere near as much. I grew up around some. Crunchy as hell but extremely anti-racist and anti-homophobia (despite almost all of them gratuitously using the word “fag” and all its other forms, but that was the style at the time.) I had almost entirely good experiences with them.

Clown Love!

fr from Feb 2024-Jan 2026 if I was listening to music, 90% of the time it was ICP. But before that there were two songs I really liked: When I'm Clownin and Hokus Pokus.

Spin the bottle

hadn't heard that one... I still need to check out all the collaborations they did with people like Twiztid.
