      They hold a music festival every year called the gathering of the juggalos, usually somewhere in the Midwest, that attracts around 10k people per year. They’re not a huge underground culture in America but they are there and disproportionately higher populations living in Midwest and Central swing states. Most of the juggalos I’ve met are kind and just want to get high and listen to music about horror movies and wrestling and stuff like that. They have been anti-science and education in the past in their anti-establishment rhetoric which is probably the worst part of the subculture.

      their dedicated following, known as Juggalos, is in the tens of thousands. Gatherings for ICP fans have drawn upwards of 20,000 people. Juggalos are known for their distinctive style, which includes face paint, clown costumes, and hatchet symbols. They’ve also developed their own slang and idioms. The National Gang Intelligence Center estimates that there are over one million self-proclaimed Juggalos in the United States, but 85–90% of them are non-criminal music fans.

      That a lot of voters, I wouldn’t say no to. And for some reason Ive found out that a lot of conservatives in the u.s think juggalos are a crazy street gang like in the warriors
