What is a Juggalo?

According to the lyrics of the ICP song "What is a juggalo," a juggalo gets butt naked with a two-liter in his butt-checks and walks around town. He might try to put a weave in his nut hair and he drinks like a fish. He's a lunatic, he's not a phoney, he has a job and he's a Hulk-a-maniac.

From my research I've concluded a juggalo is an outcast. They find a belonging within their juggalo family. They always have someone on their side, someone they can turn to, someone who is an outcast like them and understands them. They've lived the same life, have been the outcast together. Juggalos thrive on the hatred they receive everyday. It's what brings them close and makes them a family. With out the haters, there would be no ICP and juggalos.

The negative actions associated with the ICP is just apart of the culture. For instance, at the "Gathering of the Juggalos", the fans throw bottles at outsider singers. It's a game to them to see how long they could last on stage in front of the 'los and 'lettes. It's almost like a challenge to see if you're worthy of being there or not. Throughout the four day festival they throw garbage at each other, oddly enough out of love, not hate. The other crimes associated with the ICP, like the attacks on the innocent people in the Pittsburgh park, were dismissed by the juggalos. They claim real juggalos wouldn't act in this way. Juggalos are laid back, they wouldn't go out of their way to attack someone. After all, their golden rule is to accept.

My theory is the juggalos were outcasts growing up, they constantly dealt with abuse from others and society. Inside the juggalo family they feel they finally have a place to belong. Their harsh exteriors and often scary persona's are a way for the juggalos to attack society and those outside the family before society can attack them. They've built their guards up so high they assume everyone is judging them, which is probably a good assumption. But maybe they're so used to this negative energy from the world that they're addicted to it. Maybe that's why they paint up and act so different. They need society to hate them so they can still have a family, a place to call their own. Or maybe not. The face-paint could symbolize these people finally have a place where they are loved and are no longer the outcasts. They're proud of their family and they rep it everywhere.
