Be a Juggalo

Juggalos are the fans of the band Insane Clown Posse, and their record label Psychopathic Records. To be a Juggalo you have to appreciate the music of Insane Clown Posse and the other artists on the Psychopathic Record label. Juggalos attend the concerts and events of the band as well as adopt the Juggalo lifestyle.

Steps

Appreciating the Music

  1. Listen to the popular hits from Insane Clown Posse (ICP). Songs like "Great Milenko", "Hokus Pokus", "The Neden Game", "Boogie Woogie Wu", and "What is a Juggalo" are popular songs to start with. Listen to entire albums to appreciate ICP. Popular albums include The Great Milenko, The Amazing Jeckel Brothers, and Bizaar. Their first album, Carnival of Carnage, is a great one to listen to so you can see how their music evolved.[1]
  2. Memorize the lyrics to key Insane Clown Posse songs. Chicken Huntin’ is a great song to memorize the lyrics to because it is played at most Insane Clown Posse concerts. If you know all the lyrics, you can have fun singing along with the band. Another song to learn is Hokus Pokus. Listen to these songs everyday to learn the lyrics, or look up the lyrics online to memorize them.
  3. Listen to other artists with Psychopathic Records. Psychopathic Records is the record company co-founded by the Insane Clown Posse. They have signed many great hip hop artists that Juggalos enjoy listening to.[2]

Attending Events

  1. Go to a concert. Attending concerts is a big part of being a Juggalo. Many Juggalos try to go to multiple Insane Clown Posse concerts each year. Look online to find out when they will be in your area. There are a few preparations you should make when going to an Insane Clown Posse concert.[3]
    • When you go to an ICP concert you should bring a change of clothes because you’ll get soaked with Faygo. The band sprays out multiple bottles of Faygo soda out at the fans. It’s also a good idea to put your electronics in a plastic bag.
    • Paint your face like a clown with a white base and black accents around your eyes and lips. The artists of Insane Clown Posse always perform with clown makeup on and many fans join them in the fun. There’s no one way to do ICP makeup. Be unique and have fun whether you paint your whole face or only add accents to your eyes and lips.
  2. Attend a Gathering of the Juggalos. The Gathering of the Juggalos is an annual festival held by Psychopathic Records. It features Psychopathic Record artists as well as other well known artists and even some new artists. The festival lasts 5 days and includes concerts, wrestling events, games and contests, autograph sessions, and more. The gathering is held in Thornville, OH at Legend Valley, a 120 acre property.[4]
  3. Attend a Juggalo Championship Wrestling event. Juggalo Championship Wrestling is a professional wrestling promotion founded in 1999 by the Insane Clown Posse. Juggalo Championship Wrestling tours wrestling shows across the United States which sometimes feature a live performance from a hip hop artists as well. They also frequently stream wrestling shows online.[5]

Living a Juggalo Lifestyle

  1. Drink Faygo soda. Faygo soda is the drink that the Insane Clown Posse drinks and sprays out at their concerts. Bring lots of 2-liter bottles of Faygo to any concert of ICP event you attend.
  2. Talk like a Juggalo. Juggalo’s have their own catch phrase or battle cry. They also have different words to describe themselves. Knowing the Juggalo lingo will help you submerse yourself in the Juggalo lifestyle.[6]
    • The phrase “whoop whoop” is the Juggalo’s catch phrase. This is what Juggalos say to out of excitement, encouragement, or just as a general greeting to each other. When you like another Juggalo’s makeup or outfit, shout “whoop whoop” to them. When you email or communicate something you like on social media, say “whoop whoop”.
    • A girl that is a Juggalo is referred to as a Juggalette.
    • Juggalo’s also call themselves ninja. It’s common to yell “whoop whoop ninja” to a fellow Juggalo.
  3. Join Juggalobook. Juggalobook is the social media site of Juggalos. It’s similar to other social media sites in that you get your own profile and can interact with other people, however all of the interactions are done with Juggalo talk. For example, when you want to “like” something you “whoop whoop” it instead.[7]
    • Interact on Juggalobook daily to make Juggalo friends. If any are near you, you can suggest to meet up at a concert together.[8]
  4. Use the Juggalocoin. The Juggalocoin is an internet based currency to make purchases online. The Juggalocoin is set up to be a currency only to be used by people accepting of the Juggalo lifestyle. It was created to know that when you spend your money at a business that accepts the Juggalocoin, you know your money is supporting a fellow Juggalo. You can also use the Juggalocoin for charity by sending some to a Juggalo in need. The coin is designed to keep the money in the Juggalo family.[9]
  5. Wear Hatchet gear. The Insane Clown Posse’s logo is a man with a hatchet. When you sport the hatchet logo, people can easily identify you as a Juggalo in your everyday life. You can get Hatchet gear from the ICP website, on online auction sites, or from vendors at ICP events.
    • Put a sticker of the hatchet logo on your car.
    • Wear shirts with the ICP logo.
    • If you really want to show your loyalty, you can get a tattoo of the hatchet man.
  6. Celebrate Juggalo Day. February 17th was declared Juggalo Day by the Insane Clown Posse to thank and celebrate their fans. Celebrate Juggalo Day by drinking nothing but Faygo all day. Get together with fellow Juggalos to celebrate, or throw a huge house party and invite all the Juggalos you know. Check Juggalobook to find out where Juggalo Day celebrations are taking place.[10]
