Modern Revision

A juggalo (feminine juggalette, or juggala in Spanish)[1] is a fan of the group Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang, and characteristics.[2] The Gathering of the Juggalos,[3] alternatively known as just "The Gathering", is a notable annual festival held by juggalos and the artists that they support, which have included rap stars such as Busta Rhymes, Ice Cube, and MC Hammer; over its first eleven events (2000–2010),[needs update] the festival drew a total attendance of about 107,500 fans, averaging nearly 9,800 per year, with a peak of 20,000 in 2010.[4]



A Juggalo (Feminine Juggalette) is an individual identifying or belonging to the culture known as The Juggalo Movement or The Juggalo Family, who mainly consist of a collective people with a diversity of backgrounds and spiritual beliefs ranging from a wide range from Christianity, Buddhism, Gnosticism and several branches of paganism or no religious views at all, but usually a common underlying view point of world peace, justice and comradery for the socially shunned as well as an often unspoken rejection of themes such as racism, pedophilia, domestic violence, injustice for the lower class and treachery, while themes that are usually praised and represented are comprised of moral values such as the most common example being the "Family" structure of friendship, loyalty, and dependability. Most of these topics can be expressed through many branches of Juggalo music, stemming from bands most known for Juggalo representation such as The Insane Clown Posse, Tech N9ne, Esham The Unholy, Twiztid, Ouija Macc and many other bands and artists under the umbrella of Juggalo music. Often times, either record labels or private land owners will host events lasting for several days in which Juggalos bands and an other artistic affiliates will perform on stages, from the likes of MC Hammer, Ice Cube, Busta Rhymes, Attilla and Gwar, with one such multi-day event being The Gathering Of The Juggalos (GOTJ) or simply The Gathering, hosted by Psychopathic Records, which has seen 21 years of attendance, with only 1 year of absence in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, however smaller Gatherings were hosted world wide on scales of a lesser mass by other Juggalo groups.

The five-year-old [when?] tag in the first paragraph of the "Juggalo Gangs" section can probably be removed if the sentence is changed from "has been attributed to self-described 'Juggalos' in recent years" to "was attributed to self-described 'Juggalos' in the early 2010s," or "..early-to-mid 2010s" since all the cited incidents are between 2010 and 2014 (and a similar time period occurs in the Juggalo gangs page).

Precisely dating this sort of discursive trend difficult, but I think that time period is supported by the decline [1] in search interest for Juggalos after about 2014 (except the 2017 spike around the Juggalo march on Washington) and the relative dearth of news articles mentioning suspects' Juggalo affiliation after around 2015 (see date-sorted searches on Google news for Juggalo Robbery [2] and Juggalo Murder [3] ) makes me feel pretty good about this.

If whoever does this has a little extra time on their hands, it might be a good idea to add to this section a brief summary of the info on the ICP/ACLU lawsuit against the FBI as found on the Juggalo gangs page. 68.190.114.7 (talk) 19:31, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
