ICP... I think there was another thread about this in the recent past. Anyways, a Juggalo/lette is a fan of ICP music. That we know. They like the music so much they want to live the lifestyle. They dress in pseudo-goth attire, smoke WAAAYYY too much weed, fight in backyards, chuck sodie-pop at people, use more make-up than the Crow (on a side note, FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS DRESS LIKE THE CROW), and are usually too closed-minded to allow themselves to tolerate anybody else's taste in music or lifestyle without trying to offend them on purpose.
That being said, except for the last point, they are pretty much just like every other subculture out there. Yes, including goth. They have a musical tendency, uniform, and favored activities, and they usually try to congregate with other like-minded individuals. It's human nature. People like what people like, and anything anyone putting down someone else's taste in something probably also has some lifestyle choices or musical tastes that are the targets of some other person's or group's ire.
And the last Joker's Card, entitled "The Wraith: Shangri-La" was about a grim reaper-like persona, and the end song on the album talks about how if they would've just come out and said "Believe in God, be a good person" then a lot of people wouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon and become ICP fans. The hook of the song goes "We're not sorry if we tricked you/We don't care what happens now." I actually like the song, it reprises a lot of other ICP songs from back to their first album, has a catchy tune, and taken with the rest of their work, is pretty damn funny.
Anyways, I understand that the majority of people on this site do not like ICP, and I don't blame anyone for that. This is not an ICP Fanclub website; it's not even expected for anyone here to like them. All's I'm saying is, as with all things: think before you blatantly disrespect. And if you think you're the best there ever was, remember Osama bin Laden probably hates you, too.
