What are you waiting for?
well, here I go , Lets see if I can get over 100 or more Whoop whoops , for this, This my 3rd series of What is A Juggallo According to blog.
have told what the people of the net have said about juggalos though what is witten in the Wicapieda, I have talked some on the views of the main stream media.
Common characteristics of identifying a member of the Juggalo subculture are as follows:
Drinking and spraying the inexpensive soft drink Faygo.
Listening to horrorcore and other types of underground rap music.
Wearing face paint, generally those either like a clown or perhaps similar to corpse paint.
Wearing HatchetGear.Having the Hatchet man logo applied on personal effects and, die cast, worn as jewelry.
Doing hair in the spider legs style, i.e. like the Twiztid members
Displaying the gesture of wicked clown, the westside sign with the left hand and the C sign in ASL with the right, with arms crossed over.
Making and responding to "whoop, whoop" calls.
Expressing a (generally) tongue-in-cheek obsession with murder, committed with a blade weapon.
Juggalos view the lyrics of Psychopathic Records artists, which are often violent in nature, as a catharsis for aggression.
now I will try to give my viwes of the juggallo family as i see it as a juggallo...
Juggalos 'N Juggalettes Well.
The juggalo and the juggalettes are hard to describe in general, even as a juggalo it's hard for me. So i'm going to try.
A juggalo is a male fan of the Insane Clown Posse
A juggalette is the female fan of the Insane Clown Posse
ICP for short.
Juggalo's and juggalettes are fans of ICP that have been saved by The dark Carnival and have realised that being different isn't a bad thing, for it makes us just that. 'Different' from everyone, we are all crazy in our own ways and we are all hated for some reason or another.
Us Lo's And Lette's Are loyal fans to ICP and any of the bands under the psychopathic record's logo. We love them as family as well as other Lo's and Lette's as family and we would die for eachother. Poeple always dis on the fam but we are strong and most true juggalo's and lette's ignore the threats and the insults. Most of the fans connect with ICP, Twiztid, Boondox, ABK, AMB, Blaze cause they grew up unwanted as many juggalo's and juggalette's did. Me included. We are outcasts. But the truth is we don't care, we don't give a fuck.
We paint our faces and we talk the way we talk to be different. Though many people say yea, yea, they want to be non-conformists, most of us are. We are all crazy and mentally unstable. Me for example. I've been to about 8 different therapists. My parents trying to scrounge up money for it all. Luckily we have rich grandparents. Me myself, i've grown up with no moeny for myself and the thing is i don't have friends. 'Cept for the handful and the few. My point. Being mentally insane and crazy is a part of our personna.
WE also have our own juggalo system. OH SHIT! NOT ANOTHER SYSTEM! CALM THE FUCK DOWN, It's our thing so don't piss and run to yo momma. xD
Now for some realiziem shit your not a juggalo just because of ICP or other phsycopathic artiest
This is not always the cace yes some say they are juggalos because , they are fans of the ICP and there music and pylosophyies but yet again these are just fans. And its from these fans that we as juggalos got our start and rise...But
Heres the Juggalo Creed if ya wanna look at it...
I am a Juggalo...
I am an individual guided by Light...
Be it natuer, be it karma or evnen be it a super entieny we are sombody and we matter.
I know who I am and who I want to be....
we are human we have dreams we know what it is we want to be how to get there and what we must do to get there' but just as the same as other folks some of us succeed some of us dont or evn some of us make it but fail when but one mistake is made...
I recognize that the path to Shangri La requires an open mind...
we as humans do as other humans do by natuer we look for a god, phlosyphy, heavn, and hell thus the cards of the juggalo, the wraife and Shangri La
WE have haters. But we all yell whoop whoop to show who we follow. Poeple say we are in a cult. But we aren't. Or are we. You'll never reallt know. The dark carnival is our 'Heaven.' Me personally, i'm athiest, so i honestly don't care about the fact that the dark carnival was about god in the end. Anyways, haters. They call us fags, idiots, crack heads, ECT. And the truth is. We all have quirks, dumbasses. I myself and my buddy buckshot used to be pot heads. Though we still hit it erryonce in a while. WHOOP WHOOP!
some call us a cult hey if that be the case what about all the other religions that arent classifide a christainity.....
I shall not judge.
ok ok this one is a catch me 21,yes in our creed we are not supposed to judge other but as i said before we are human, so we make mistakes ,hell even in the bible it says they shall not judge but how many of you still do if you dident i would not be writeing this blog now would i......
I am part of a Family...
[Juggalos come] from all walks of life – from poverty, from rich, from all religions, all colors. [...] It doesn't matter if you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or a crack rock in your mouth."Juggalos have compared themselves to a family.but i must say this to keep it real and prove we are human we do juge as i said but only becuase There are posers who we call juggaho's, juffalo's, things of that sort. And they can be pointed out easily. If everything you own is handed to you, then your not a juggalo. I have to work for my clothes and my music. Though my rent's buy it, i work that shit off, i keep my shit real too. But the fake ass bitches that are handed everything by name and shit, Hell nawh they ain't jugglo's or lette's.but to be honest it appears that many juggallos come from poverty but all are welcom....
I shall Love my Family as I would my blood.
That's a good one. It derives everything from community, helping out the old, young, kids, women, men… Anything it is to be able to be there supporting, to be there for one another, to help Juggalos when they're down. You always hear of Juggalos with problems, and this isn't just a chant. When someone says family, we all mean family. If you see a Juggalo on the ground, you pick that bitch up..
It's just a different environment. This is a different type of family from your home. This is just like friendly shit. I'm down two or three dollars, can I get some? Not too many other people would do that, feed one another, help one another. Even your own family, who knows. Like I can hug anyone here. If you try to hug some dude on the street, you'd probably get knocked out. But we don't judge each other. We don't care what you look like, we don't care where you're from. If I know a Juggalo in Ohio, I'm just like, whadup fam. You're family. Whoop whoop.
Juggalos chant family because that's the best way for them to show love, and say welcome, we accept you, you're one of us. We chant it to each other because of unity. No one's gonna judge you, no one's gonna give a fuck if you're doing something different or crazy. There ain't one fight all weekend.
I shall do my Family no harm as I know what is done to others shall surely be done to me...
well this says it all dont it , its almost like the golden rule of the bible do on to others as you will alway have done to you
I shall strive to honor my Family and not disgrace their name..this talks loyty and respect of one another in the family.
I am a Ninja... I have no Fear. I do not Fear the unknown fore I embrace the wonders of the world around me and the differences in others.
I shall meet adversity head on fore I am a Survivor.
Nothing can stop my Shine.
these 2 paragraphs I shall meet adversity head on fore I am a Survivor. and Nothing can stop my Shine. are key phrases to explain what a family dose , juggalos build each others strenths and weakness with support they will always have a kind or up lifting word of encourage emnt
I am Human...
if you cut me do i not bleed ,if you strike me dont i feel pain lol sorry look we were born as you we live as you we have the same fuck ed up syndroms and aches and pains as you we are human we have feelings we have love and emotions ....
I recognize my flaws.
we are not perfect we make mistakes not only do we know this but we also thake responsability for them
I shall strive to change the things I can control and seek strength for the things I cannot
this again is self explainatory.like humans we change our mistakes that we can but those that we cant fuck them we just have to livee with them
I shall cherish the teachings of my ancestors and the Family who have fallen before me
I have Love… angain im am a athisist so the bible has no use for me even tho i was taught to love and respect it by family my real family or ansestos tought me a lot as so did my juggalo family you see i am a phlosopher in life there for seek out my own way of life and the grater good so i respect that which was tought to me but use it not others of the juggalo family love respect and live by it....and with that i will close my first part of my thoughts as a juggalo about juggalos with the rest of the creed as it is....
With Love there is Unity and Strength.
Love does not hurt nor does it seek to destroy. I too, shall not hurt or seek to destroy
. With Love in my Heart, Love for my Family and Love for the Carnival...
I shall find my path to Shangri La
O and Shagri-La is Heaven
Ok in the last session of my opinon on juggalos as a juggalo we spoke on the juggalo creed,no we have the 13 commandments of the juggal
on these i will not speak much on because it would just be a lot of redrugeing and repeating,old shit i already talked about, but know this i will talk of the things i belive to be importaint and relivent to my explenation of what is a juggalo...
1.Thou shall always hollar "whoop whoop" to let other juggalos know your arround....

What is a Juggalo / Juggalette? Are Juggalos A Criminal Organization? What Is Down With The Clowns?
What is a Juggalo?
A Juggalo or Juggalette (a Juggalette is a female) is what fans of the Insane Clown Posse or any of the other artists signed by Psychopathic Records call themselves. This music can be considered a sort of hip hop horror.
Juggalos have their own slang, symbols, and ways of life. Insane Clown Posse are made up of brothers Violent J (Joseph Bruce), and Shaggy 2 Dope ( Joseph Ulster).
Juggalos, Juggalettes call themselves family simply because they honestly care for the well being of each other. They are not involved in any organized crime nor is there any real leadership.
There is no such thing as an entity that is known as Juggalos. they are individuals and would rather be left alone then bother anyone else in society.
How did Juggalos begin?
It was in 1994 while performing live the Insane Clown Posse performed the song "The Juggla". It was during the performance that Joseph Bruce called the crowd "the Juggalos".
There was an overwhelming response to this which ended with Joseph Bruce and Joseph Ulster using the term afterwords whenever mentioning their friends their family and most important their fans.
This includes other artists which are signed Psychopathic Records artists.
So Juggalos are just fans of the Insane Clown posse?
One thing that gets people confused by the term Juggalo is that they are all fans of ICP (Insane Clown Posse) which is a rap band from Detroit.
Although most Juggalos and Juggalettes do listen to ICP, simply listening to and liking the Insane Clown Posse does not mean you are a lo or lette.
Being a Juggalo is in the way you live your life. It is the way you were born. You could not change that anymore then you could change your eye color.
A Juggalo does not judge other individuals based on looks, what shade their skin is, or how they decide to live their life. Because when it comes down to the simple things, we are all the same.
Juggalos take pride in the fact that they do not care what others think of them, they are here, deal with it. They do what is right and do not give a thought if there are people that hate.
The Juggalos enjoy discussing "The Dark Carnival" which to a Juggalo represents something larger then themselves. Juggalos get along with each other and still consider each other family, even if they disagree.
When did Juggalos become popular?
The group really blew up with the fans after the release of their third CD, Great Milenko.in the mid 1990s. It was on this recording that the group released the song "What Is A Juggalo?
"On their 1997 release The Great Milenko contained the song "Down With The Clown".
ICP explains that "Juggalos come from all walks of life, some are extremely poor while others come from wealthy families.
Juggalos contain people from all Religions and Races. It does not matter if you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth or if you were born addicted to crack. Juggalos do not judge others.
They respect people as individuals, if you are a Juggalo then you are family. You will be accepted as you are, you do not have to change in order to "fit in".
What is Faygo?
One of the common symbols of a Juggalo is the drinking of Faygo which is an economical soda.
They also enjoy what can be called horor-themed rap music. Juggalos/lettes often wear face paint similar to what is worn by Psychopathic Records artists.
Juggalos enjoy the Psychopathic Records artists, which frequently contain violent lyrics. This music is used by Juggalos and Juggalettes to express their aggression. Juggalos and Juggalettes are anything but violent, you are more likely to be hugged by a Juggalo then anything else.
Most of the characteristics of the Juggalo lifestyle began during the 1980s when Joseph Bruce, Joseph Ulster, and his family were living at the poverty level. They had to get their clothing from rummage sales, and most of their food came from food pantries. Because they grew up in poverty many of the other kids in their school made jokes about them.
Were they always called Juggalos?
This did not bother them simply because they were not embarressed by their lifestyle and in fact embraced it.
The name that they used for themselves at the time was Floobs. According to Joe Bruce a Floob was pretty much a scrub. The only difference is that they were not ordinary everyday scrubs.
A Floob would wear the same old shoes and grungy clothes from the rummage sales, which did not have to be cool. A Floob made their scrubbiness into something that they were proud of, not something to make them ashamed of themselves.
They did not care what the other kids thought. The only thing that mattered was that they were proud of themselves!
The only Floobs ever mentioned by name was Violent J (Joseph Bruce), and Shaggy 2 Dope ( Joseph Ulster).. Although Joe admits there were other Floobs that he never met or even knew, they all were living in the same conditions that the brothers endured.
It was the respect and acceptance that Floobs had for each other that initiated the family-like attitude of people in similar circumstances that created the philosophy still held throughout the Juggalo family.
Criminals?
Even though the F.B.I. recently designated Juggalos as a criminal group?
They are uninformed and ignorant of the Juggalo lifestyle. We the Juggalos are loyal to each other. We support other Juggalos.
We do not judge people nor do we tolerate racists, bigots, pedophiles and other scum of humanity. We are all brothers and sisters in the Juggalo family and accept each other without question. If you are "down with the clowns" then you are family.
The definition of a Gang is . A group of criminals or hoodlums who band together for mutual protection and profit.
Juggalos do not support criminal activity!
In no way does a Juggalo want to engage in criminal activity. We are human beings that show affection for each other. We want the best for our Country, our community our children and each other..
We call each other "family" simply because some Juggalos are considered outcasts in society.
In the Juggalo family, these same people are mainstream and do not get judged or discriminated against in any form. You can always count on your "family " to help you get through difficult times in your life.
So, Juggalos are not bad guys?
Of course there are Juggalos that break the law and become incarcerated. This happens to individuals and should not reflect on Juggalos as a whole. Every segment of society has individuals that break the law. This does not mean that all of society engages in these activities. Even law enforcement has members that violate the law! Do not judge people by a group, treat each human being as the unique person that they are. If we all did this, the world would be a better place!
Juggal
Juggalo (feminine Juggalette, or Juggala in Spanish speaking countries) is a name given to fans of the group Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang and characteristics. The Gathering of the Juggalos, alternatively known as just "The Gathering", is a notable annual festival held by juggalos and the artists that they support, which have included rap stars such as Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, and MC Hammer; over its first eleven events, the festival had an average attendance of about 10,000 fans, with a peak of 20,000 in 2010.
History
The term originated during a 1994 live performance by Insane Clown Posse. During the song "The Juggla", Violent J addressed the audience as Juggalos, and the positive response resulted in Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope using the word thereafter to refer to themselves and their friends, family and fans, including other Psychopathic Records artists. The fanbase boomed following the release of their third album, Riddle Box, in 1995, leading Insane Clown Posse to write the songs "What Is A Juggalo?" and "Down With The Clown" for their 1997 album The Great Milenko.
Characteristics
According to Shaggy 2 Dope, "[Juggalos come] from all walks of life – from poverty, from rich, from all religions, all colors. ... It doesn't matter if you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or a crack rock in your mouth." Juggalos have compared themselves to a family.
Common characteristics of identifying a member of the Juggalo subculture are as follows:
Drinking and spraying the inexpensive soft drink Faygo.
Listening to horrorcore and other types of underground rap music.
Wearing face paint, generally those either like a clown or perhaps similar to corpse paint.
Wearing HatchetGear.Having the Hatchet man logo applied on personal effects and, die cast, worn as jewelry.
Doing hair in the spider legs style, i.e. like the Twiztid members
Displaying the gesture of wicked clown, the westside sign with the left hand and the C sign in ASL with the right, with arms crossed over.
Making and responding to "whoop, whoop" calls.
Expressing a (generally) tongue-in-cheek obsession with murder, committed with a blade weapon.
Juggalos view the lyrics of Psychopathic Records artists, which are often violent in nature, as a catharsis for aggression.
Many characteristics of the Juggalo culture originated from in the 1980s, when Joseph Bruce (Violent J) and his family were living in poverty. He and his brother Robert received all their clothes from rummage sales, and their food from canned food drives held at their own school. Due to their poverty, the Bruce Brothers were the brunt of many jokes in school. However, the brothers were not ashamed of their living standards, and instead embraced it. Joe even made a name for themselves, Floobs. According to Joe, a Floob was essentially a scrub, but not just an ordinary scrub. A Floob "wore the same old shoes and shitty clothes from rummage sales ... but ... didn't even have to be cool. [Floobs] turned [their] scrubbiness into something [they] could be proud of." Though Joe only specifically names himself and his brother as Floobs, he alludes to other Floobs whom he had not met or known of, but were living in the same conditions as he and his brother; the respect that Floobs had for each other and their family-like embrace of likewise people influenced the philosophy held among Juggalos.

Juggalo gangs
Main article: Juggalos (gang)
Although the Juggalo subculture stems from the horrorcore subgenre of the general hip hop music fandom, criminal and gang-related activity has been attributed to self-described 'Juggalos' in recent years, including assaults, drug trafficking, vandalism, burglary, shootings, theft, robbery, and numerous murders.
Interaction between violent and nonviolent Juggalos
According to a 2011 Intelligence Report, the Juggalo subculture is split between violent and nonviolent factions. Some members of the Juggalos street gang even look down on non-criminal Juggalos, considering them to be weak, and criminal Juggalo gangs have committed attacks on non-gang-related Juggalos.
Both Juggalo gang affiliates and nonviolent Juggalos believe in the Juggalo "family".
However, some nonviolent Juggalos do not believe that any gang related activity should be associated with the Juggalo lifestyle.
Public and artist reactions
The Insane Clown Posse filed a lawsuit against the FBI about the gang-listing. In December 2012, ICP agreed to withdraw their involvement as plaintiffs.
Psychopathic Records launched the website juggalos fightback.com for fans to submit stories about unfair treatment by law enforcement. ICP hopes to use these stories in their legal battle to declassify Juggalos as a gang.
The classification of Juggalos as a criminal gang was ridiculed by the technology magazine Wired in a November 2011 article, with journalist Spencer Ackerman referring to previous scandals involving FBI harassment of Muslim-Americans.
On January 8, 2014, Insane Clown Posse along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed suit again against the FBI. The suit aims to have Juggalos no longer considered to be a gang and to have any "criminal intelligence information" about Juggalos destroyed.

In 2009, television sketch comedy Saturday Night Live began a reoccurring series of sketches about the "Kickspit Underground Rock Festival" which parodies Juggalos and the Gathering of the Juggalos. The following year, the television show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia parodied Juggalos on the episode "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth". In 2011, the television showWorkaholics aired an episode called "Straight Up Juggahos" that revolved around Juggalos and an Insane Clown Posse concert. Later that year, an independent documentary entitled American Juggalo was released. Gathering Prey, the 2015 crime novel in the Lucas Davenport series by John Sandford, features a villain named Pilate who, with his disciples, are Juggalos. Much of the book takes place at the Gathering of the Juggalos.
