Melissa Meizner does an excellent job of portraying the Insane Clown Posse in neither a negative nor positive light. She just states the facts. She describes the "fandom" during an ICP show and how you can spot out a juggalo: face-paint, t-shirts, and the iconic hatchet man. Once the show starts she describes the energy and all the Faygo (a generic soda) that is sprayed on the audience the entire concert. You almost feel like you were there and witnessing everything for yourself.
She explains the ICP's albums have been about God and the righteousness all along. And how the fans view the "family." And she even makes a point to address the juggalo attacks that have been reported previously. She notes the band manager Alex Abess said any real juggalo knows we do not approve of the type of behavior. Which makes since because the juggalo family revolves around acceptance. She covers fans of all types, older listeners, young listeners, and even parents. Meizner reaches out to all types of audiences and makes the ICP seem like real people, not just the freaks society views them as.
