As an old wrestling fan from the late 90s, how did 2024 manage to make me cheer for the ICP while booing the undertaker and Steve Austin?
Cuz Steve always sucked
3:16 is how many dicks he sucked at a time and for how many hours
I guess I wasn’t really watching wrestling by then, but recently I found out that he was on the run for like a couple days and surrendered to police in 2002 after beating the shit out of his wife Debra. Dude is a piece of shit.
Hey, let’s not discourage dick sucking marathons.
And Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan’s been a known POS for a long time. I held out hope about guys like undertaker at least being reasonably people
Fuckin Hulkster man, but it turns out he’s always been a dick, ask Jesse Ventura
Makes sense, Juggalos hate fascists and despite Kamala being a cop, Trump is the bigger fascist.
Although it is weird to see Eminem and ICP on the same side of something.

I was curious so I looked it up.
In 1997 Eminem put out flyers for a show that said “with ICP (maybe)”
And they got kind of pissed about that, which they have a right to. But they’ve been over it for 20 years now.
Fucking crazy it’s 2024 and that was almost 30 years ago.
I would have shown up if I were them-surprise Eminem at his own show and support the Michigan music scene at once.
Edit: perhaps not just the Michigan music scene, I assumed this was before Eminem got big, but 1997 is definitely after his big break
1997 was before his big break. At this point, he was Rap Olympics famous, not signed to Dr. Dre famous.
Also Taylor Swift. What a world we live in.
Is this satire? I honestly can’t tell.
their dedicated following, known as Juggalos, is in the tens of thousands. Gatherings for ICP fans have drawn upwards of 20,000 people. Juggalos are known for their distinctive style, which includes face paint, clown costumes, and hatchet symbols. They’ve also developed their own slang and idioms. The National Gang Intelligence Center estimates that there are over one million self-proclaimed Juggalos in the United States, but 85–90% of them are non-criminal music fans.
That a lot of voters, I wouldn’t say no to. And for some reason Ive found out that a lot of conservatives in the u.s think juggalos are a crazy street gang like in the warriors
Too many cartoons. They took Batman Beyond seriously.
They hold a music festival every year called the gathering of the juggalos, usually somewhere in the Midwest, that attracts around 10k people per year. They’re not a huge underground culture in America but they are there and disproportionately higher populations living in Midwest and Central swing states. Most of the juggalos I’ve met are kind and just want to get high and listen to music about horror movies and wrestling and stuff like that. They have been anti-science and education in the past in their anti-establishment rhetoric which is probably the worst part of the subculture.
WHOOP WHOOP!

The endorsement I’ve been waiting for
Are they still figuring out how magnets work?
If Richard Feynman can’t explain it in a way he’s satisfied with himself, I’m okay with rapping clowns being open about not understanding it.
Hell ya, I always send the Feynman video about this when it comes up. What a great communicator.
That’s why I’m surprised they endorsed Harris. Trump doesn’t know how they work either. You’d think they would find friendship in their common imbecility.

Stupid people like to be in the room where they’re the smartest. Smart people like to be in the room where they’re the dumbest.
I like to be in the room with people who are a mix so that some of them can teach me things I don’t know and I can teach others things they don’t know.
Does that make me smart or stupid?
It makes you right, my comment was a very broad generalisation to make a point.
What is this magnet thing with juggalos?
Insane Clown Posse - Miracles:
I see miracles all around me
Stop and look around, it’s all astounding
Water, fire, air and dirt
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist
Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed
Thank you!!
A verse from Miracles, implying that magnets are miraculous: Water, fire, air, and earth / Fuckin’ magnets, how do they work?
Another, often quoted from the same track: I don’t wanna talk to no scientists / Y’all fuckers be lying, and getting me pissed
Mystery solved! Thank you!!
Juggalos are surprisingly decent, given their image. I may not be down with the clown, myself, but they’re alright
I haven’t exactly spent a lot of time in Juggalo circles, but the few I have met have all been great people, the types of people who would literally give you the shirt off their back without a second thought. Generally not the brightest bulbs out there, but they also tend to be the rare type of person who can recognize that about themselves and are willing to seek out and listen to people who are more knowledgeable (unless we’re talking about scientists and magnets) which is actually pretty amazing, that’s not a common quality to find in any group of people
I generally kind of think of juggalos as those kids in school who were a little too weird to be “normal” kids, and not smart enough to be “nerds” some of them have some issues, maybe more than average, but most of them are just trying to get by with what they’ve got.
They’ve also started to become the adults in the room sometimes. I’m not sad to see it, but it feels weird.
Isn’t that a bit late? I’m 36 and ICP seemed like a thing for the age bracket above me growing up. Or did the whole magnets meme push their demo to a lower age bracket or something?
some artists pick up new fans with every generation. see also: michael jackson, the beatles, ozzy, hendrix, slayer, etc.
it’s kind of hilarious to me, being a 80s/90s kid, that of all the acts that were HUGE in the 90s (collective soul, smashing pumpkins, alanis morrisete, REM, etc), ICP is one of the few still in the news
I mean, as a GenXer it kinda makes sense to me that the biggest GenX bands are not about trying to stay in headlines. 🤷♂️
Smashing Pumpkins is back, and banks like RHCP and Radiohead just never stopped making (at least decent, some great) new records.
But yeah if the drugs didn’t get them, the attitudes to it a lot of spotlight from those bands.
However, The number of teens wearing Nirvana clothes recently has been fun to see. And being told I wouldn’t understand why a teen would like their songs is fucking hilariously (as I was a young teen when they came out). I wonder how long it’s going to last though.
The good weird tho, gotta discriminate
As for women’s rights, he believes in them (“they have the right to be the fuckin’ shit”), and as for environmental conservation, he thinks its time humans get over their superiority complex, saying, “Let me tell you what a superior animal is: a whale.”
American politics are so fucked that actual clowns have become the voice of reason.
ICP on the right side of history
Damn, I have a new found respect for the posse.
even if i dont care for everything else they represent, i applaude their touch of sensibility here
A guy in clown makeup calling himself Violent J: “I am endorsing Kamala Harris because she’s a Democrat and I love my mom.”
Really hard to argue… For several reasons
They are famous and that’s all that matters in amerikkka
and thats one of their more boggling representations
ICP for the win!!! Hopefully that resonates with GenX.
I think the ICP fans include at least as many millennials, maybe even more
I can only think of two times I’ve seen ICP in pop culture, once with their whole magnets thing, and once on Workaholics which is a heavily millennial show.
Makes sense. Millennial generation starts with people born in 1981, and ICP became big in the late 90s. So millennials were the teenagers when ICP hit big. I doubt many people in their 20’s and 30’s were jumping on the ICP train.

They live in a society
Apparently even insane people know not to vote for a fascist!
Hopefully that helps with Michigan.
Whoop Whoop
