To clarify the debate about when the hate started around juggalos. It can mostly be traced back to 97 when Disney dropped ICP from Hollywood Records. When Riddlebox was new there was a pretty big buzz around it in the underground. And here in the midwest, you were hated on if you hadn’t heard of ICP yet. They were considered one of the hottest up and coming artists when they started looking to get out of their Jive contract and signed by someone else. That’s why Hollywood Records were willing to take a chance on em. Then that shit happened with Disney, everyone started covering the story and ICP temporarily blew up from all the publicity. Only problem was all that publicity was spun, thanks to Disney’s money and influence, in a way that made them look like a joke and like a couple idiots. Those who didn’t like ICP or weren’t willing to give them a fair chance started seeing them as such and began making fun of those who did. All of a sudden that snowballed and the hottest up and coming artists were quickly turned in to the most hated band in the world as ICP proudly proclaimed.

Ain’t convinced juggalos are a part of pop culture.
