Juggalos and juggalettes are fans of the Insane Clown Posse and other Psychopathic Records hip hop groups. They have their own culture, language, and characteristics. Their name came about during the performance of the song "The Juggla" when the audience was referred to as juggalos. The audience's positive reaction led to the ICP fan base identifying themselves as juggalos, and later juggalettes for females.
A major stereotype with the ICP and juggalos is criminal activity. Although members deny any affiliation with gangs, police often recognize them in this way. 'los and 'lettes participate in "Gathering of the Juggalos" where there are concerts, wrestling matches, games, enjoy Faygo (generic soda) and listen to talks by artists for a four day span. An infamous crime / attack that took place at the festival was on Tila Tequila. When she was on stage, she had rocks and bottles thrown at her.
