Gathering of the Juggalos

For anyone curious on hipster scum's take on... well, the unhip scum, Vice Magazine had a feature on The Gathering of the Juggalos.

I loathe Vice Magazine. But I enjoyed reading that article.

Have pity on the man who has to clean those showers. Holy moley.

Reading up on ICP at Wikipedia, I came across this gem:

Hoping to receive the respect Bruce and Utsler felt they deserved, they planned to feature well-known, respected rappers on their album. Bruce stated outright that he wanted to involve Snoop Dogg and Ol' Dirty Bastard. They paid Snoop Dogg US$40,000 to appear on the song "The Shaggy Show." Snoop Dogg also helped them contact Ol' Dirty Bastard, who was paid US$30,000 for his appearance. Ol' Dirty Bastard recorded his track in a matter of two days; however, his recording consisted of nothing more than him rambling about "bitches." It took Bruce and Utsler a week to assemble just four rhymes out of his rambling, and had to re-record the track and title it "Bitches."

Thanks for the link, that was an interesting read.

I thought the British would be above this.

the human mind is so perfectly attuned for cults
they sprout up organically in the oddest places.

Reading this just made me sad.  You're right on: scum mocking scum.

Britain has their own loathesome subculture called "Chavs".  It only makes sense that the two would cross-pollinate.

Any bit of sympathy I had for these brain damaged trolls died when I watched that Andrew WK footage.
