Bands whose fans were their own 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.

fucked up, they are v popular

they've also got the juggalos

Do juggalos know about Insane Clown Posse? I could seem them being fans.

they are both "down with the clown" (fans of krusty the klown)

you're also forgetting the fans of Jimmy Buffett. They're called Juggalos iirc.

*thinks about it for the first time, 0.2 seconds later becomes furious that Jimmy Buffett fans are not called Buffalos*

what was the name of that group that did "Magnetcles"?

I know they're not exactly favorites around here, but you gotta recognize Insane Clown Posse and their fans who call themselves "Juggalos"

I actually like them a lot. Please don't FP me.

FP? Faygo please?

Carcass fans should be called Jugulars

Iirc fans of the Dave Matthews Band call themselves the Insane Clown Posse. Just a weird coincidence.

I call them frat boys, boom, roasted

“Insane Clown Pose” is my favorite Soundgarden song

can't believe nobody has thought of ICP!

come on u sleepin'

hey, just seeing this thread was bumped -- have Juggalos been mentioned? I saw a meme about them the other day and they definitely appear to be a subculture -- I think the meme involved Juggalos vs. Neo-nazis?

oh shit, also, that reminds me -- the Grateful Dead definitely had this!! I mean, I know I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, but I think "Deadheads" are fairly well known?

Huh, I had no idea but that sounds really cool. What does ICP stand for?

xp

It’s Cool, Parrotheads!

By coincidence, "Parrotheads" themselves might actually qualify for this thread. That's what Jimmy Buffett fans are known as, and now that I think about it they are kind of their own subculture.

Shit, long story, but back in 1998 me and about 14 other LA-area people who were HUGE fans of Eve 6 (you remember them - "wanna put my tender heart in a blender, watch it spin round to a beautiful oblivion, rendezvous and I'm through with you!"; great song) were paid by their label RCA Records to walk a few blocks down Hollywood Blvd to the Capitol Records building where there was a big release party going on for Garth Brooks because of three albums of his they were re-releasing that day. Me and all the other Eve 6 guys, we called ourselves The Sixers like it was like our gang name, and we did anything RCA told us to do to promote Eve 6. Anyway, one day that April, Capitol Records literally paid us $500 each to go walk down there, scope them all out, identify the weakest targets, and then get back to our rental car, drive it up to the Garth Brooks thing and run out and kidnap four of his fans, take them to the alley behind the Sunset Blvd Denny's, and beat them to within inches of their life with baseball bats. RCA thought this would somehow increase Eve 6's record sales! Of course we all did this without hesitation because hey it was 1998, MDMA was a new drug (that we were all taking), we were fueled by that and the propulsive energy of Eve 6, and frankly we needed the money!!!

Anyway, yeah, cliffs notes version for the thread: Eve 6 fans call themselves "Sixers," or at least we did back in '98.

The Denny’s at Sunset & Van Ness or the Denny’s at Sunset & Gower?

New Model Army Family are they separate enough?
I think they overlapped heavily with Levellers fans or even split off to follow them more.
Funny to see the band is either still around or reunited, they have a few pages in VIve Le Rock which I haven't read yet.

Eskimoes following the MIssion but not sure they would have been entirely separate from other early 70s rock Goth heads. Or did they fight themn on the beaches with Sisters of Mercy fans?

we're just gonna ignore burrito's post like almost every other post in this thread then?

in that case, Insane Clown Posse
