Juggalo: Insane Clown Posse and the World They Made is a vivid journey into the heart of a misunderstood subculture. Through firsthand reporting, including interviews with Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of the Insane Clown Posse, their friends and family, and numerous devoted fans, Juggalo explores the lives of the proud outsiders who are frequently labeled as a threat or dismissed as a joke.Author and journalist Steve Miller follows ICP across America, hanging out with Juggalos before and after shows, at the legendary annual Gathering of the Juggalos, and at work and home to share their stories. In addition, Juggalo dives deep into the FBI's misguided assault on Juggalo culture and the misidentification of this devoted group of horrorcore fans as a gang.Juggalo is also the chronicle of two hard-luck kids from Detroit who created an empire and became the unwitting stars of a uniquely American grassroots success story. Without the help of radio airplay and with little love from the music industry establishment, ICP went platinum and fostered one of America's most durable subcultures.Juggalo is required reading for the hardcore fan and pop culture buff alike, a scrupulously researched account of a subculture unlike any other—one that so shook the establishment it launched a federal investigation—as well as a window into the world of the Juggalos and the singula
Dave Ryan said Excellent Book. I didn’t know anything about the Insane Clown Posse or their fans prior to reading Steve Miller’s new book Juggalo. I bought it because I’d read two of Miller’s other books and they were excellent.Juggalo did not disappoint—it is thoroughly researched, well written, engaging, and funny. Readers unfamiliar with the Insane Clown Posse. "The facts are great, but the opinions are weak." according to Mitchell King. This book is not about the history of ICP; it's about the history and repercussions of the FBI's gang designation for Juggalos. The research is strong when it comes to nailing down names, dates, and locations for specific events, but the glaringly obvious fact remains: it is IMPOSSIBLE for a non-Juggalo to write about Juggalos. As a Juggalo myself for the last 1. "Whoop Whoop" according to Chad Wilkison. Very well written and has heart. If you're a Juggalo you already get it. If you're not a Juggalo, well maybe you'll at least get some of it. The Dark Carnival is waiting
