Juggalos question for Moo or anyone who knows

Why do they all paint their faces black and white?  I thought that was strictly ICP, but it appears many of these hillbilly-hop Caucasian rappers do the face paint thing.  Can someone who's an expert on this subculture explain this to me?

You know this thing is occurring two hours away from me?  If Ali wasn't going to be in STL that weekend, I would try to get Christin to go with me and check this out.

    Ditto, but I'd be concerned for your safety. Seriously.

  •  I think it's just in homage to ICP.  And ICP had a wrestling career at one point, so the face paint reflects that.

    if you decide to go and need step by step instructions, here ya go:

    "how Juggalettes do their face painting!"  it's an art, you know.

  • So ICP doesn't get mad that they're being ripped off?

    These people are fascinating to me.  I've never met one in real life, but I suspect I've seen them at Wal-Mart.

  • I think many of the honky whiteface rappers are affiliated with the ICP. They founded the genre.

  • grab yourself some faygo and you're all set!

    my ex's cousin has the faces of ICP tattooed on his calf. friggin weirdo. This same guy said that his life was complete after he smoked a fat one w/the lead singer.

    Creepy.

  • I was telling Mr. Winged about that post and he said "oh. I am one. I have been since November 1999" with a totally straight face. While I have never seen him in clown makeup, he was so convincing that I started to believe him.

    Of course he also convinced me once that they made low carb ecstasy, so....

     

    But he did go to a concert once.

  • Careful Winged, he may have been feeling you out and only said, "Just kidding, HAHAHAHA" when he realized you weren't into it.  Or now maybe he'll look into the show (which does have a few semi-awesome acts playing) and will want to go.

    I wonder what's worse, and a better reason for divorce: your husband becoming a juggalo or becoming a NASCAR fan.  Winged, your answer will be disqualified.

  • he never said he was joking
  • As far as I can tell, and I was confused about this at first, too, there are several acts on the same record label as ICP and they're considered part of the "family" so they're allowed to paint their faces.  There are a bunch of ICP-like acts on the record label. According to the L&O episode I watched, it's called "horrorcore."

  • Yeah, the clown faced musical acts are all part of the "hatchet family", as in Hatchet Records. (i think...) But a lot of juggalos/lettes paint their faces for concerts and meet ups and to make youtube videos about how hardcore they are and how they will eff up the "haterz". There were a mini meet up for juggalos a couple weeks ago at a beach around here, but it was brief and low on ceremony- no face paint, just a bunch of weirdos in ICP tshirts bumping the CD player in a rusty buick.

    I am dying to go some year. I need to know what the seminars are about.
