2 Scoops of Whoop

 Since ICP began expanding beyond Detroit back in 1995, they brought their message to those of us who felt like they did. We were young, felt held back by invisible arms and we were tired of it. Some grew up poor, some rich. Mostly white males, but the message was for all. To all misfits, gangly, out of place kids: “Come see the show, the big top show walk hand in hand with the Dark Carnival”. ICP fans found more than just music, they found people like themselves, found a family.  That family even developed a name, we all became Juggalos.

A Juggalo is just a fan of ICP to those outside, looking in. Those of us inside know that Juggalo means more than that, it can mean many things. To each of us it can be different. From group to group, city to city we are different. There are “old school” and “new school”; “Twiztid Juggalos”, “Strange Juggalos” , “303”, “512” etc… To the media, we are all the same. Branded with a view that we are all ignorant, dirty, face painted buffoons. They write stories of those of us who have make mistakes and make it sound as if we are all the same. City Councils vote to ban Psychopathic from even performing in certain areas. And with a FBI classification all Juggalos are gang members. We know the truth, but we can do more to shed light on the family. We all have story: how we became a Juggalo, what it means to you to be a Juggalo. How being a Juggalo may have cost you a job or place to live. Faygoluvers.net has given me the forum to reach out to you and let you tell your story. ‘2 Scoops of Whoop’ is a Juggalo celebration. We are seeking stories that counter popular opinion. The media say you are ignorant, they say you are not fit parents and you are dredges of society. I know you are better and I want to prove it to the world. If you have a story you would like to share please do so. If we decide to publish, you will be contacted for more information.
