What inspires me today...
Miracles.
Juggalos.
Jugalettes.
These are the names given to and worn proudly by fans/followers/henchmen/apostles of the Michigan-based hip hop group Insane Clown Posse (ICP for short).
Helpful and Necessary Visual Aid
Why do they all dress like gothic clowns? Why would anyone listen to something dubbed as "horrorcore"? How would one go about getting involved in Juggalo Championship Wrestling? What brand of face paint is best for Juggalo/ette impersonation? Is that what love looks like?
These are all questions.
Maybe you have been faced with Jugalo culture recently while reading the Twitter posts of myspace icon and reality television celebrity, Tila Tequila. If not, there is hope for humanity.
So, what is the first thought when trying to launch you and your friends' new indie-pop band via youtube?
Indie-pop band name: Taken by Trees (could've guess that one.)
Answer: Acoustic cover of the ICP song Miracles. Clearly.
My favorite gems from this song:
"We don't have to be high to look in the sky"
"The Milky Way and f***ing shooting stars"
"Look at the mountains, trees, the seven seas and everything chilling underwater, please"
"There's enough miracles here to blow your brains"
"F***ing magnets, how do they work?"
"I fed a fish to a pelican at Frisco bay, it tried to eat my cell phone, he ran away"
Pure poetry.
Obviously I prefer the original, but that's just because Faygo tastes so much sweeter in baggy pants and face paint.
Wow, so true.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the insight!
This shit is somewhat tru but im sorry but the bang boom pow albums are not juggalo music. I am I juggalo and have been for the past 5 years and I was down with the clown for 6 years before that. The bang boom pow album was meant for mainstream not indie so I personally hate the bang boom pow album. Just figured I would let you know. Go back and listen to the riddlebox, Great melinko, carnival of carnage and the wraith albums. Thats real juggalo music.
