I was a merch guy on the tour. That fact, I made fairly clear. (That’s not to say ALL Juggalos can’t read.)

Now to answer your question of “why?” - This blog was created as an outlet. For someone to come into the “Juggalo lifestyle” having no previous exposure to it, you can imagine how out of place they must feel. (Imagine a Juggalo at a library, or a bank cashing a pay check.) My first posts were strictly just documenting my days. As the tour went on, I realized how uninteresting and stagnant that actually was so I turned the blog into what it currently is: A over-generalization, close minded, stereo-typing and eye-opening piece of whatever you want to call it. I know full and well that you can’t pin down a whole sub-culture as one type of person, but it is funny when you do. The way I tear apart Juggalos can easily be done to any and all other sub-cultures. It just makes it a little easier when ICP fuels that fire. They know they are hated, they know they stand out, and they milk it for every fucking thing it is worth. They market themselves better than other band out there, that I can say in confidence.

Believe me, you aren’t the only person I have offended with this blog, and I’m not the only one who thinks it is funny. What you don’t know is the day in and day out bullshit I had to tolerate while on that tour, and I’m sure the Juggalos making my life hell thought they were pretty funny too; more power to ‘em, I guess. For every piece of shit that I encountered on that tour, I can easily say I met one pleasant person. But who the fuck wants to read about the pleasant people?? ICP didn’t make money by being a band that appealed to masses, they made money by being something interesting, something no one understood, something kind of… shitty. 

Now that I’m done defending myself, allow me to touch on a bit of debate. Do not try to deny that ICP has self-submitted themselves into their current public image of low life, uneducated scum. You can sit on youtube for hours looking up interviews with them that leave you only to believe that ICP, and mainly their fan base, live on their own planet. Whether that is a bad thing or not, is not up to me. If you think that ICP needs defending, then you’re missing their point. They don’t want to be defended. They want to be the outcast, they want to be hated. So don’t be surprised when someone talks shit about them on a blog, they are only fulfilling ICP’s own prophecy. 

I’m not being rude, but I’m just VERY concerned.
