Bands whose fans were their own subculture

What about Claymates? I heard that my high school health teacher was one. She used to raise Persian cats and then she became a rabid Clay Aiken fan.

Michael Jackson?

Also, 99.9999% of Dylan fans are not called, and do not call themselves, “Dylanologists” — I don’t care what some book reviewed by Janet Maslin in 2014 says.

NAMBLA members do have a subculture, but the real answer is Juggalos, fans of that Insane Clown Posse band

Fuckin kidfiddlers

that there ICP

subcultures, how do they work

The Phantom of the Opera / Phans
Phish / Phans

PHITE

What is that thing that connects to the fans and the band? .... “It's sort of a gathering of the tribes, because it is culture

Note how Simmons just barely avoids what he was clearly about to say. Which is "Gathering of the Juggalos."

In case you are not aware, that is what fans of Insane Clown Posse call themselves.

Violent J seems like a good father.

As long as you don't have an assignment on magnets you need help with

He acknowledges the question, at least. He's willing to learn.

Wow I really killed this fun thread

That late 70s mod revival began with the Jam though, iirc, so they wouldn't have been mods if they hadn't been Jam fans.

My sister was involved in that revival and she was never a Jam fan fwiw.

Was she a fan of the insane clown posse? I hadn't thought about them in years til just now

crazy that it took so long for them to come up in this thread

yeah ... i mean, ICP are a really good example of this, thanks for finally mentioning them

surprised nobody has mentioned that band that sprayed fizzy juice over their fans

the elephant in the room that everybody seems to be tiptoeing around is ICP

xp - i think you are thinking of Insane Clown Posse?

yes, that's them! Surprised nobody mentioned them yet

I understand that their female fans are Juggalettes, which means that their children are Juggalinos or Juggalinas.

Mr. Juggalina, Mr. Bob Juggalina

lol

couldn't they also be Juggalosovs or Juggalosovnas or in Icelandic Juggalosdottir? Are there Juggalos in Iceland?

ICP are antispeciesist to boot:

Didn't Shaggy have a hit with oh juggalina?

It's been a wild week for artists, journalists and fans, but a special shout-out to the B * S stans who reported the NYT music account for abuse for reporting that the group sold four collector versions of its EP to juice sales

— cganz (@mehpatrol) April 26, 2019

jfc the replies. I guess this is what Beatles fans would have been like on Twitter circa 1964?

OMG, you’re not kidding

Take a look what this NYT writer said about Taylor Swift when she did bundles and made her fans buy as much as 13 copies of ONE ALBUM to boost her sales. He described it as "Never doubt Taylor Swift". But as for BTS, he said "a canny strategy". He put her in more positive light.

All fans are terrible tbf

idk Juggalos aren't all bad

... fans of the Insane Clown Posse fwiw

Oh I forgot about them, surprised thy weren't mentioned in this thread

I completely misread that and thought Belle & Sebastian were selling their own juice, then I clicked on it and thought what has Built To Spill done now? Then I thought, wait, why hasn't anyone mentioned Insane Clown Posse on this thread before?

Did the original tweeter write “B * S” in an effort to avoid detection, but all those stans found & swarmed him anyway?

is this a place where we can say BTS are bad? bc they are bad.

had to google BTS

Bonkers Thespian Society === Insane Clown Posse

i have some stories about juggalos

Fucking fan subcultures, how do they work? (See what I did there?)

In case you didn't catch that, I was alluding to a song by Insane Clown Posse, who are particularly well known for having their own fan subculture.

Insane Clown Posse

Sure, but have you ever heard of the Juggalos?
