About 6 years.

I first ICP (neden game) like 2005 or 2006. But I couldn’t find out who it was because had limited internet access.

Don’t worry about merch as some scale of down-ness. That’s always been the dumbest way to tell who’s down. People that need to flaunt how down they are aren’t even that down and it’s just a fad or their way to be attention whores. As someone who’s been down for a long ass time the only thing I own anymore is ticket stubs from ’98. First time I saw them in concert with my brother (RIP). That’s the only thing that means anything to me. Got rid of everything else. Clothing comes and goes with me anyway. I enjoy the music still and the concerts. Sport it if you like it. Don’t be a poser though to impress others that’s just lame.

Anyway if you’re down, you’re down. And you know you’re down. Don’t let retards tell you different.

Cool that this thread was bumped cus I had a random thought today: the so-dubbed “Family Era” Juggalos are no longer considered “new”. Shit that era is over anyway in a sense. This is all just how I perceive it. Time be flying by.

Weird, isn’t it? The other day it hit me that it’s been coming up on ten years since Hell’s Pit dropped. Ten fucking years.

I fell between 98 and 99. was after great milenko dropped, and got pulled but I never heard any of that till after. I saw them on wrestling, and I took that as my calling. Its like they found me… if that makes sense.  and to quote Legz Diamond in Shockumentary….. “when you start listening to ICP, you stop listening to everything else”  that was a very true statement for many many years

Same here. Still is sometimes when I just get in that mood.

That alone with Violent J interview was dope. I remember having to go to the library to print it out, 10 cents a page. Then reading it over and over and calling the hotlines and waiting for AJB. Good times.

I’ve always looked at the eras the same way scruffy. Pre 2000 and post 2000. That 90’s mentality is a hard thing to let go because it felt so exclusive and like you said it’s just hard to describe. But living in the past is lame as shit. Now that I’m at the age of when ICP started shedding their skin I totally get it now. Have to face reality eventually and can’t stay immature forever. But it takes time.

Well, I’m relatively new to posting in this forum, so there is that. But I actually started listening to ICP at a very young age. 9 years old to be specific. Which would bring me to about 12 years since being introduced. However, as said but a few others in this thread, I held a bit too much revere for juggalos who had already been down and were showing me this music, to claim I was down right away. My two friends who showed me seemed to know so much about the entire movement that I didn’t want to fail to live up to that. I didn’t start saying I was a juggalo until after 3 years of being absolutely obsessed with the clowns(like most at first) and feeling like I understood the magic they speak of in their music. So that would cut me down to 9 years.

To be honest though, I have always felt a bit like a “new juggalo” since I came right during the time of the wraith and honestly only had riddlebox and milenko to listen to then. I didn’t get the wraith until I got hells pit. I can say hearing those two records together was the shit…but I’m getting off topic.

Overall, being as young as I was when I started, has always made it hard for me to feel like I wasn’t a new juggalo. Hell some people might still consider me a new juggalo. I couldn’t give fuck less, as long as they recognize I’m fam all the same.

a lot of  these people is ass holes man

cmon you fuckers- celebrate with me!
