A gonzo ethnology of the world's most misunderstood clowns

Juggalo Country

Inside the World of Insane Clown Posse and America's Weirdest Music Scene

by Craven Rock (Author) and Damon Thompson (Illustrator)

 

"...an open-minded first-person account of the annual, infamous Gathering of the Juggalos. ... offers a refreshingly different perspective from the get-go."
RIOT FEST

"...documents the Juggalos ⁠— their political involvement, their identities, and what it means to be a part of something."
MUSIC CONNECTION

 

WHOOP! WHOOP! Ever wonder what it’s like to be a diehard fan of one of the world’s most eccentric musical groups? No? Then you’re in luck! Craven Rock journeys deep into Juggalo country to get a better understanding of the staying power and appeal of the horrorcore hip-hop duo, Insane Clown Posse (ICP). Ridiculous, disturbing, and downright weird, Juggalos seem more caricature than real. But look past their makeup and over-the-top personas, go beyond first impressions, and you’ll find something surprisingly relatable and quintessentially human.

Part festival-goer’s journal, part music history, part investigative report, part social commentary.

            Craven Rock has reported on underground debauchery for over a decade and has been published in Razorcake and Best Music Writing 2008.
