Telling Bitches What There Butts Smell Like
Immersing oneself in an unfamiliar setting surrounded by individuals some may consider strange would be a situation in which many would find themselves feeling out of place and uncomfortable. Well, what if that unfamiliar setting was a Juggalo gathering in which assorted drugs, topless women, rapping, and pro wrestling is commonplace and those strange individuals are grown adults with their faces painted up like clowns, calling themselves Juggalos, relentlessly shouting “Whoop Whoop!” while drinking (or spraying) Faygo Soda, and this just being the proverbial 'tip of the iceberg'? We've all seen them on seedy street corners and alleyways kicking it with their Juggalo (or Juggalet) homies. But what exactly is a Juggalo?

However, if we look to the Insane Clown Posse themselves, who first coined the term, and are kind of like the spiritual leaders of the Juggalo's, on their 1997 album “The Great Milenko,” there is in fact a song entitled 'What is a Juggalo?”. In it, the self styled prophets of the Dark Carnival, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, sing “What is a Juggalo? Let me think for a second, well, oh, he gets butt-naked and then he walks through the streets, winking at freaks, with a 2-liter stuck in his butt-cheeks . What is a Juggalo? He just don’t care, he might try to put a weave in his nut-hair, Cuz he could give a fuck less what a bitch thinks, he'd just tell her that her butt stinks”. In these particular lyrics, the Insane Clown Posse, or ICP as their referred to in short, are explaining that those known as Juggalos share the type of mentality in which they don’t care about society’s perceived norms, and will do, act and speak however they wish, without caring what others think of them. This philosophy permeates Juggalo culture and was evident in all interviews conducted in the
