Juggalos are among the most unique musical subcultures around today. To put it simply, juggalos are super-devoted fans of the Insane Clown Posse, an outrageous over-the-top rap group from Detroit. Insane Clown Posse, or ICP for short, is best recognized visually in the mainstream for its clown-style face paint.
Juggalos, too, can often be recognized for wearing juggalo face paint, too. Besides juggalo face paint, juggalos are also known for crazy self-presentation in other aspects. On top of their juggalo face paint, often favor brightly colored, crazy hairstyles and wild fashion influenced both by hip-hop and other subcultures like punk and rave.
In other words, juggalos often make an impression, especially at special events like concerts by ICP and other similar artists. Juggalos value individuality and like to stand out form a crowd.
But the juggalo face paint, clothing, and favored music is all highly unusual by design. That’s why so many juggalos are drawn to the subculture as teenagers or young adults, the life stages in which people are searching for identity and uniqueness.
Later on in life though, juggalo face paint and the other visual trappings of the juggalos can seem a little much. So is it possible to still be an adult and be part of the juggalo family?
The answer is an emphatic yes. There is a reason the term “juggalo family” is used so often to describe the subculture. The juggalo family goes beyond simple things like wearing juggalo face paint and acting crazy at shows. Those parts of the subculture may appeal to younger juggalos, but they’re not essential.
The most important aspect of the juggalo family to its members is just that — family. The main tenets of the subculture are open-mindedness and acceptance without judgement. Many juggalos don’t even get this from their biological families, so they turn to the juggalo family where they can feel accepted.
The juggalo family welcomes with open arms people from all walks of life, no matter how the rest of society perceives them. Consider the juggalo face paint and visual style just an extra on top of all of that.
So, you don’t have to stop participating in any of those larger ideas just because you’re an “adult.” Plus, if you came to the juggalo family largely through music, there’s no reason to stop liking the music you like just because of a chronological number.
The members of ICP themselves, of course, have been at this for several decades and are decidedly grown up on paper. Yet they’re still rocking juggalo face paint and entertaining crowds in their trademark provocative, shockingly humorous way.
You’ll also notice when you attend juggalo family gatherings that there are plenty of people of all ages. Many juggalos have grown up and brought their biological families into the metaphorical juggalo family.
At ICP concerts and the Gathering of the Juggalos, you’ll see parents and children — sometimes even grandparents — rocking juggalo face paint and enjoying the music together. Juggalos are among the few musical subcultures in which that kind of sight isn’t unusual.
In other words, there are any number of adult juggalos contributing to society through high-level jobs, charitable organizations, and other “grown-up” activities. Yet they’re still juggalos at heart and staying down with ICP and the rest of their juggalo family throughout.
Age is just a number and you’re only as old as you feel, so once you enter the juggalo family, you’re a member for life if you want to be.
