i like how ICP had a gimmick with their albums, each one having 'joker cards' that slowly unveil some profound message that their music represents. I think they did like 6 of these and the message revealed in the last one is 'follow god and get to heaven.' Their loyal fanbase basically got the payoff of 'drink your ovaltine.'

In fairness, they played it up pretty hard since like the 3rd album. If you didn't see it coming you weren't really paying attention. HELICOPTER RIDES

The whole ICP mythos was started because the founders had a tough time making inroads in the music industry as plain old white hip hop artists, especially since the local market was pretty saturated. Once they created the whole cheesy ICP backstory and whole Dark Carnival thing, they pretty much created a big cash cow created by the misery of the devoted rust belt fanbase.

I remember in middle school, a lot of popular kids were also into ICP since nü-metal/rap-rock was so prevalent at the time (I never heard the term 'juggalo' until high school, actually). I wonder if they've had that kinda mainstream crossover success with the youth since, or if it was just a late-90s suburban New Hampshire thing.

All the juggalos in highschool with me were morbidly obese. And also drug dealers.

They were popular enough to get a video on MTV (which was big at the time). It was cover song though lol They were pretty popular in my school too, but only with the spooky kid types and not so much anyone else. I remember the "It's actually about God!" thing came out about then and everyone was so pissed.

If it makes you feel any better, most Juggalos were still like "Wat, what?" despite how blatant they were about it. Hell, they knew that was going to be the reaction and in the song where they revealed it they repeat the refrain "we're not sorry that we tricked you"

A lot of the ICP fans I knew of were like that. They were especially pissed because they were all rebellious teens in the bible belt, so this really put a drag on them pissing off their parents. They were also idiots who carried 2 liters of Faygo around in school as some kind of fashion statement, so I'm not surprised they didn't see it coming.

The only thing ICP figured out was how to monetize the poor, uneducated, white demographic. It really is an exceptional business strategy. The only other successful business that managed to do it is Walmart.

ICP has said that in the public Faygo will act like they hate them, but Faygo sends them thank you cards every year along with gifts and ICP are able to get special discounts that they only give to distributors.

I'm disappointed it's not going to be in Missouri. I know people who work at the hospital closest to the proposed site, and I was looking forward to stories.
