Zug Izland, just for Mom

So in a recent comment, Mom mentioned wanting me to post a Zug Izland clip. Um, Mom, do you know what a Juggalo is?? Because as I was browsing youtube for this Zug Island (which is actually spelled 'izland') I started to realize that this is a Juggalo band. I am soooo going to bug my mom that now she is a Juggalo! (J/K, you're not really one, Mom, unless I catch you buying clown facepaint.)

According to Wikipedia, a Juggalo is:
Juggalo or Juggalette (the latter being feminine) is a name given to fans of Insane Clown Posse or any other Psychopathic Records hip hop group. Juggalos have developed their own idioms, slang, and characteristics.

History of the Juggalo:

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 face paint. They view the lyrics of Psychopathic Records artists (which are often violent in nature) as a catharsis for aggression. Several well known figures have identified as Juggalos. These include professional wrestlers Kazushige Nosawa and Vampiro, and rappers Chuck D, Kung Fu Vampire, MURS, Coolio, and Vanilla Ice. According to Utsler, "[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."

From Urban Dictionary:
For the most part, an uneducated, pathetic excuse for a human being who listens to the group ICP who are bold enough to actually consider themselves musicians. People you see wearing "hatchet-man" accessories. They should not be allowed to reproduce, because that is too cruel to future generations. ICP isn't rap, it isn't metal, it isn't rap/metal, and it isn't horrorpop. There is only one way to properly categorize ICP; unnecessarily and unartfully offensive and obnoxious noise.


Here are some website blogs devoted to/making fun of Juggalos:

And of course, the band that started it all...

 
But here ya go, Mom, just for you because you asked so nicely...








(On a side note: now I'm going to have to figure out how to delete these youtube video searches for this band because now they'll keep adding Juggalo vids to my "Because you watched this, you may be interested in this" section, the horror!! Oh and delete it from Google Search so there's not some record on the interwebs of all my image and website searches! Damn you, Juggalos!)
