American Juggalos
I had never even heard of the term juggalo or Insane Clown Posse until Rob brought it up in class last week and subsequently did his presentation on it today. It seems like the strangest subculture to me because I have no knowledge base whatsoever for the subculture. I don't know why they do what they do and I don't understand what motivates them to spray cheap soda all over each other. I plan on watching some of the infomercials that Larkin and Rob were talking about in order to learn more about the Insane Clown Posse. I really don't understand why they paint their faces either. Is there some rule that says you must look as scary as possible to join this subculture? Are there any motivating factors to join or is it just that you want to join the subculture. I would love to know how people get into the juggalo culture too. Like who wakes up one day and is like "I want to spray fago everywhere today while listening to scary music!"

I feel the same way. Every subculture weve talked about, I had at least heard of before this class. Except juggalos. I dont really understand why it is necessary to look intimidating or crazy. Are they trying to make a statement? Rob said in class that they are generally very accepting. But I dont understand why a group of people who claims to be "accepting" would dress to scare people and sing about ways to murder... It just doesnt make sense to me at all.
