Ask a Juggalo: What will happen to Juggalo culture if it becomes mainstream?

It’s that time of the week again, Metro Times Detroit has released their latest “Ask a Juggalo” column. This weeks column question is being answered by Danielle Keene aka Dani2Dope.

In this column, Danielle answers the question, What will happen to Juggalo culture if it becomes mainstream? If you would like to send a question in to be answered, you can do so by emailing [email protected].

From Metro Times Detroit:

Q: It seems, lately, that Juggalos are gaining a kind of cult popularity. Given that the central driving force of the subculture rests on unity — that is to say, family — in the face of adversity, what will happen to Juggalo culture if it becomes mainstream?

A: I don’t think going mainstream is a bad thing, necessarily. I think it brings more awareness. It was underground for so long. I think the Internet really brought it into the mainstream and made people notice and recognize it. I don’t think it’s a bad thing, as long as we continue to be a positive force. In the same sense, us going mainstream kind of brought a lot of attention, with the FBI and other people like that. Obviously, you’re gonna be judged a lot more when mainstream people listen to ICP and know about it now. It’s up to us as Juggalos to show it in a positive light and not a negative one.

Q:I’ve been having some issues with a coworker recently. She’s definitely the brown-nose type, and she’s a very mean-spirited person. What really gets me, though, is that we both do the same job, and it’s imperative that we communicate with each other when changes have been made to our program. I send her emails regularly to let her know about changes, but she never tells me shit! Then, at our weekly meetings, she always finds a snarky way to make me look like I’m not doing my job because I don’t know about the changes she made.

A: I work in an office, and I have office politics and stuff like that. Really, the only thing I can say is to try to remain positive and do the best that you can at your job. It won’t go unnoticed, for sure. Her anger will be noticed eventually, and your hard work will be noticed as well.

    ‘juggalo culture’ is almost a contradiction in terms.
    most juggalos wont culture shit. quite a few seem to be trying [harder than youd think is worth it] to actively fuck it up.
    i dont remember juggalo culture going mainstream, wonka. one could argue that icp went mainstream [and weve been arguing about that since damn near the start], but all of us? nah.
    addendem: sketchez… youre right, of course. but in the end, for better or worse, i happen to be a juggalo. so, i do actually give a fuck, when it comes to the culture as a whole. as i say, most juggalos dont give enough fucks about culture; what they wanna do is [a] talk shit, [b] get free shit, [c] speculate wildly on dumb shit, and/or [d] make money off other juggalos. none of those things will ever get us anywhere.

    I really don’t give a fuck what this world does or thinks. I’m gonna be a juggalo until I die and ICP’s gonna keep dropping dope shit for me to bump and look forward to. Same as it’s always been.
