In the past 25 years, a racist, misogynistic, homophobic, violent and occasionally murderous cult lead by rap group “Insane Clown Posse” has descended upon America. What’s worse is that they wear clown makeup and wear hideous costumes.
The Insane Clown Posse schtick is that the “juggalo” family (re: their fans) is also a part of something called “the Dark Carnival.” With each album release, a new idea that the group preaches is introduced through “the Dark Carnival’s” beliefs.
What’s really bizarre about the group is that after devoting 25 years of their lives to preaching seemingly unchristian values, in their latest album, Insane Clown Posse claimed that they were singing about Christianity all along. They supposedly tricked their own ill-minded fans into turning to God, but in reality have only plumbed new depths of ignorance.
“Meaning” and “mission” are two words key to the ICP vernacular. Insane Clown Posse is especially popular with individuals from very low-income, isolated areas—the kind of people looking for something to belong to that will bring meaning and a mission to their lives. Little did these followers know that they were following the messages of God that ICP potrayed.
The two founding members of Insane Clown Posse are—surprise, surprise—making lots and lots of money off of their overly-devoted fans, who make a point to support their “family” every way they can.
To summarize: ICP is a rap group with threatening lyrics that prey on downtrodden, desperate members of our society with the end goal of profit and turning them to a twisted interpretation of Christianity. And they don’t even bother to be good rappers. Seriously, if we’re going to have to put up with them, the least they can do is not suck.
In a way, Insane Clown Posse is admirable in their quest. After years of obscenity and intentional bloodshed, it took some major carnival guts to come out of the Christianity closet.
Seriously, though. Avoid association with the juggalo kind. Stay vigilant.
Burn your clown wigs.
