Surprised no one has mentioned Insane Clown Posse on there yet, wtf

Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Saturday, 16 February 2019 21:42 (five years ago) link

I know, I'm tempted to edit it because the Juggalos deserve to be on there

Adam Lambert — Glamberts


I call BS. The Wikipedia reference leads to an articlefrom 2012, which in turn mentions “Glamberts” with a link to a now-dead MTV.com page.

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.

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

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.

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.

sarahell, Sunday, 17 February 2019 20:23 (five years ago) link

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 17 February 2019 20:50 (five years ago) link

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

brownie, Sunday, 17 February 2019 20:56 (five years ago) link

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

sarahell, Monday, 18 February 2019 01:13 (five years ago) link

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

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Monday, 18 February 2019 14:33 (five years ago) link

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

Gunther Gleiben (Ye Mad Puffin), Monday, 18 February 2019 15:46 (five years ago) link

Mr. Juggalina, Mr. Bob Juggalina

two months pass...

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?

but everybody calls me, (lukas), Saturday, 27 April 2019 16:40 (five years ago) link

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.


I normally luv ppl ripping on the Times (as it’s often deserved), but this is bonkers

After Cease to Brexist (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 27 April 2019 17:06 (five years ago) link

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?

Colonel Poo, Saturday, 27 April 2019 17:14 (five years ago) link

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