Bands whose fans were their own subculture

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

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?

šílených klaunů ozbrojený sbor

And of course in Spain you have Banda de Payasos Dementes and their hardcore fans 'Los Malabaristolós'

Autechre's fans are essentially an autistic subculture. Oh, and don't forget The Grateful Dead!

I'll see myself out

I See Pee

insane clown posse

Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Blue Man Group
ICP

im sorry who is ICP?

k-pop group

sorry again who is k-pop group?

I would argue Fugazi

Silver Jews

Maybe a stretch but after learning they exist, people that still stan Sublime in 2019 must be considered an (admittedly, extremely tiny) subgenre, no?

Also, astounded that Juggalos haven't been mentioned yet.

Subculture is what I obviously meant, thanks phone.

wait how has no one mentioned ICP & Juggalos yet??????? They are the only true example left, besides Phish Phans I guess. but Juggalos are the only true subculture, Phish Phans and Deadheads going to see Bob & co. are more integrated into mainstream society.

ha was just coming here to post about the gatherings of the juggalos

ICP has a subculture of fans. They are known as Jugheads.

Huh, Silver Jews?

All those middle aged men drinking white wine in the sun.

Also. ICP. C'mon.

there's one really obvious one that I can't believe everyone missed - Parrotheads

They are not dressing as parrots they are dressing as clowns c'mon man

why don't lambchop fans all dress like sheep?

Remove Juggalo from this Thread

Insane Clown Posse

Crazy to think that this thread was started EXACTLY two years and one day ago and no one has mentioned Insane Clown Posse yet.
