Why is that a thing? Punks, goths, metalheads, etc are all devoted to a genre or even several genres of music, why does this (presumably awful) band have their own cult?

And where do I sign up?

I hope that you like high fructose corn syrup and Newport Lights, Russ.

And fat chicks. Fat chicks in either raver pants or long black skirts, with baggy sweatshirts over them.

If you had grown up where I did and had gone to my high school

Oooh, high school. Yeah. It's rough. No one else has to go through that, that's for sure.

It wasn't quite the high school part as going back to live in the same town many years later and seeing what became of everyone who adhered to this lifestyle and how horrible their lives were and how messed up their families were, in part due to their lifestyles.

But yeah...go on with your idealism, EA...

I obviously have no clue what I'm talking about.

I'm in the "not funny" wagon. As much as ridiculous it sounds, being a juggalos might actually help them going through the shit they're in, cause it gives a sense of belonging, of having an extended family.


I learned about the existance of juggalos through PRF, too, and a disbelief and urge to laugh at it is a natural reaction, but after all, those people don't do anything which is evil. They have built their own culture around that soda drink, chips, and shitty music. Whatever, at least they got something. Ridiculousness of it doesn't justify laughing at them when they loose a child. I don't know if anything does, but surely not painting a coffin in juggalo style.

Several years ago, I attended a funeral for a little boy who died while rough-housing with some other little boys. It was awful and tragic, and I wouldn't wish such a tragedy on anyone. I wouldn't find any humor in it whatsoever.

I'm sure that, if one of the parents in this forum lost a child, somewhere in the world some dumb kid would ridicule the tragedy because the parent was an "indie rock pussy," or a "bobo yuppie," or a punk, or an IT nerd, or some other category that reduces a flesh-and-blood person to a simple and distorted caricature. Fuck that. This isn't high school, and this clique-ish nonsense can be set aside for five fucking minutes while these parents mourn the loss of their kid. Regardless of how irresponsible the parents may or may not have been, the infant didn't deserve any of it.

When GG Allin died and was buried with a bottle of whiskey and wearing a Walkman in a casket covered with punk rock stickers and graffiti, that was pretty much to be expected. He was an adult who chose to live that life and probably desired and expected a funeral like that.

But to deface the casket of your own dead infant daughter with images of clowns running around with bloody hatchets and bottles of cheap soda pop? I guess having an iota of class would be far too much to expect from a goddamn juggalo.

It's disgraceful, sick and sad.

This makes no sense. Who do you think the funeral is for? The dead person or the people left greiving? Yeah, its guady, fucked up and totally laughable- but any moreso than the catholic church? or gving a catholic service to an atheist because their parents baptised them? (or any other religion for that matter)

I'm sure the parents weren't the only ones in attendance. I bet the rest of the family was happy to see the decals depicting clowns brandishing bloody hatchets plastered all over the coffin.

I empathize with these parents for their suffering, but if having a "juggalo funeral" for their infant daughter and then posting pictures of it for their juggalo friends on MySpace somehow eases their pain, then I certainly pity them as well. Not everybody can be expected to have the utmost taste and decorum, but come on.

I expect to be given a traditional agnostic funeral after I die. It must be held in a church that's been converted from an I-HOP, a Pizza Hut or a Blockbuster Video, and there should be a giant sculpture of a question mark hanging above the altar.

totally conflicted over this. Kinda sorry about posting the blingee but it came from another message board. I felt a lot less sorry for them after listening to this interview of the mother (xxxxxxx) which I guess is off of some internet radio show?

On the one hand, these are real people, and regardless of how they dress and what kind of music they like, losing a child is the most heart wrenching thing anyone can go through. On the other hand, they were the ones who desecrated their dead baby's casket, corpse, and memory with pictures of space clowns and then paraded it on the internet. That kind of invites commentary, yes?

Some invitations are perhaps better declined?

What is this, some kind of juggalo radio show?

Unbelievable. She's on the radio trying to get them to send her "something psychopathic" out of sympathy for her daughter's death..

She played a song called "Withered" at her infant daughter's funeral...?

Okay, I'm done with this thread.

Ok, I miss my ignorant bliss:

But this is funny shit. I remember seeing a whole parade of 'juggalos' driving down Western ave heading to a concert at Congress. I'll take this as another sign of the impending collapse of civilization.
