Juggalo

"[Juggalos come] from all walks of life -- from poverty, from rich, from all religions, all colors. [...] It doesn't matter if you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or a crack rock in your mouth."

- Shaggy 2 Dope

Within the community surrounding the Insane Clown Posse and Psychopathic Records artists, fans are known as "Juggalos", "Juggalettes" and "Ninjas". The term originated during a live performance by Insane Clown Posse. During the song "The Juggla", Joseph Bruce addressed the audience as Juggalos, and the positive response resulted in Bruce and Joseph Utsler using the word thereafter to refer to themselves and their friends, family, and fans, including other Psychopathic Records artists. Juggalos have compared themselves to a family. Common characteristics include drinking the inexpensive soft drink Faygo and wearing Monster Clown face paint. They view the lyrics of Psychopathic Records artists (which are often violent in nature) as a catharsis for aggression.

Public perception of Juggalos varies widely depending on your personal opinion of their preference in music. Juggalos are sometimes classified as a gang by selected states and the FBI because local law enforcement and the FBI Did Not Do the Research. If the FBI's classification of this fanbase as a "gang" does not immediately strike you as being silly, it should also be noted that the FBI thinks that Juggalos are aligned with Non-Ironic Clowns as part of a hybrid criminal network.
