Do not know who Juggalo and what they are? Do not worry, we are going to tell you.
Juggalo ( eng. Juggalos) are fans of rap group Insane Clown Posse, who proudly calls himself «the most hated band in the world». Word for fans of the group formed from the name of one of their songs, «The Juggla» (1992).
The fanbase mostly consists of white males from the so-called working class, although sometimes you find girls who are called Juggletime (Juggalettes). All these people have in common is that they did not understand their lives. They were outcasts and felt lonely for many reasons, for example due to excess weight, poverty, appearance different from the appearance of others, etc., but the company Juggalo accepted them for who they are, not paying attention to disadvantages.

Juggalo often put on the face makeup, portraying some semblance of clown masks. Some of them do tattoos «hatchmen», the logo of Psychopathic Records, ICP’s label. There is also an annual festival called «the Gathering Juggalo» sponsored by the Psychopathic, in which various musicians.
Juggalo not pursue any political objectives, although in 2011 they called an organized crime group, compared with such gangs as the Crips, Bloods and MS-13. From time to time they are involved in minor offences like drinking and drug possession, petty theft or vandalism. This really happens and more serious crimes. For example, in 2014, two men tried to carve and burn a tattoo from the hand of his neighbor, because he thought that he didn’t respect their community.
In response to the announcement of a criminal gang, organization Juggalo sued the justice Department and the FBI, saying that this had a negative impact on Juggalo. In its lawsuit, they demanded to exclude their group from a list of gangs. Then the judge dismissed the claim, stating that this case is controversial, as neither the police nor other authorities had not made any concrete action against Juggalo. A Federal appeals court reinstated the case in 2015.
Protest Juggalo this weekend dedicated just to this trial and declare them a criminal gang. Juggalo want to show everyone around who they really are. Juggalo – not a band and not a cult, they do not threaten the public. They claim to be family, United by love of music and sense of brotherhood.
