well I'm finding more but not the whole thing..they follow after a band. Its about killing your whole families. They believe that they (the juggalos and juggalettes) are their family.
Something about a clown is involved. I guess the band dressed as clowns. Gee now I will never use a clown as a avatar that is for sure.
I do appreciate any info and if your interested to find out more I will post more as I learn more about it.
The lyrics of the songs that I read have got to be the nastiest and gruesome that I have ever seen. These kids are actually listening and believing this stuff!!!!
I'm a clown!! And we 'clowned' all day Sat at two Hospitals in Charlotte! Kids!! Lots of Kids!! and most really loved us-- yeah --well we did scare the begezzies out of a few people in the elevator!
Silly Lilly!!
and now back to the regularly scheduled program........
Insane Clown Posse, yeah, there lyrics take violence to new pornagraphic levels. As if that's what we needed.
There's quite a story behind them vickles, although it's hard to tell what's schtick and what's real. They've been at it since the early 90's believe it or not. Like a lot of bands (there's only 2 guys in their 'posse') they're both hated by most of the music industry and loved by some metal/rap fans - the juggolo and juggette fan club "family".
The idea behind the band is that the leader says he had a dream years ago in which he entered in to the "Dark Carnival" and was shown 6 playing cards which all had a different symbol on the face. Those symbols appear around each album they've released and are the impetus for the songs. According to him that's what he was supposed to do in his dream and once the 6th card was finished in an album it would signal "the end", the Apocalypse.
Which sounds like a heck of a marketing plan, there's a lot you can wrap around that concept and these guys are like any other hustling band, they've got merchandise up the ying yang to sell. It hasn't taken over the world by storm but they do have several gold albums and one platinum. They're grass-roots guerilla marketers, tour all the time, work work work. So if someones likes them there's lots of stuff to get in to, buy, do, etc. etc.
So the kicker is, they finally released #6. "The Wraith" closes with a song titled "The Unveiling" in which they take several minutes to say okay, here's the deal, no more coded lyrics here's what we're really saying and all about.........and they say their real message is "believe in God" and that they "believe in God" and yada yada yada. The chorus closes with bits from all their albums and them singing "We ain't sorry that we tricked you!"
What that means is anybody's guess, but I guess it might all be some sort of bad joke. I only hopd that their fans get the joke and that there aren't a lot of disappointed jugglettes out there about to do a "Dimebag Darrell-you ruined my life!" on them. I suspect that most of their fans use their music as a way to express their own frustrations. Whatever the case, they've taken gross to a new level.
I don't know much about the whole fan thing though, maybe because I'm an old guy or just can't get past the lyrics and ideas. I don't get where it's coming from. My kids have known about the band for years but didn't like them. Guess that's a good thing. :D-->
I'm with you on that, Vickles. I think your concern is legitimate. If I knew anyone who said they followed this group with any degree of seriousness I'd be concerned.
For a lot of these bands and musicians it's a business and a way to make money. ICP has never been signed to a major label which says something because major labels are into making money. They've been with independents and now have their own company. I've read reviews of their live concerts that say they stink, it's just a big farce. For their fans it's an event, when the 'real hardcore' death metal fans come out of the woodwork. To be there is a statement in itself. "I was at the ICP concert!" It's like a badge of honor.
All these guys come and go but the levels are so cranked up now it's horrendous. I see that they're just taking advantage of youth, it's frustrations and struggles. Anyone who can listen to a song about a guy who chops people's heads off and keeps them around to play with and thinks it's okay though is troubled. I don't like slasher flicks, I don't like slasher music either and that's what it's like. Demented, gory weirdness. Meanwhile they're rakin' in the dough.

Juggalos and Juggalettes are fans of the Insane Clown Posse, the type of group for which the parental advisory label was developed.

Its hard to understand how kids can actually listen to this sh!t and enjoy it.
