I think in the future everyone will wear masks like daft punk
Hope so. Personally I’m pulling for a modular jumpsuit as well. Most of it will come as one piece, so no more worrying about pants and tops as separate items which have to be coordinated and can get lost. Socks/gloves/masks etc would be optional but will just snap onto the main bodysuit piece. Everything will be interchangeable, standardized and spares can be purchased anywhere. Different weights for different climates etc, but it’s all one platform, like the AR-15 of clothing.
Please vote for me in the upcoming primary. If I win I’m sending everyone a free suit. ~(Which you’ll need, because they’ll be mandatory)~ VOTE FOR ME
Why would they need facial recognition? Just look for the guy in clown makeup.
Alternatively use a guy fawkes mask.
Wait…What is a juggalo?
Fan of Insane Clown Posse, aka ICP
Its pronounced “I-see-pee”
Yes, I’m an official adult, why do you ask?
That’s what it is? Well fuck if I know
Yah, it was a big ol subculture in the 00s. Still kinda around but nowhere near as much. I grew up around some. Crunchy as hell but extremely anti-racist and anti-homophobia (despite almost all of them gratuitously using the word “fag” and all its other forms, but that was the style at the time.) I had almost entirely good experiences with them.
I don’t know. That’s what it is and fuck if I know.
Misfit white trash who claims they’re not white trash.
hey just so you know “white trash” reinforces a racial hierarchy, and is thereby a racist term. as a term, it is built on the presumption that white people are supposed to be higher than the lowest rung of society.
whatever you may think of ICP’s fans, this critique of them is classist and unhelpful
Yeah, I’m not doing that.
Woop woop
I used to think juggalos were cringe but I’m really digging how based they are ideology wise. Their music isn’t my taste but I’ve got weird musical preferences anyway.
Christian Rock.
The stand up comedian?
That’s Chris Rock, you’re thinking of the dude from Mr Robot
No that’s Christian Slater, you’re thinking of the dude from American Psycho
No, that’s Christian Bale, you’re thinking of the guy from American Gods.
No, that’s Chris Obi, you’re thinking of the guy from Rush Hour.
I feel like you might stand out as “the guy wearing clown makeup”
ICP is based as hell:
"I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
Out here pretending like you ain’t offendin’
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
You redneck judges with racist grudges
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
If you gotta tattoo, I’m aimin’ at you
I SAY FUCK YOUR REBEL FLAG
You get punched in your faces reppin’ the racists"
Speaking as someone who isn’t a juggalo, it’s clear that the subculture represents a lot more people than just the ones who identify with it. Like with Punk, a lot of outsiders don’t look past the aesthetic to realize that they’re trying to convey an important social message and be a voice for disenfranchised groups. They aren’t just people in clown make-up, they’re people who were fucked over by society and this is the outlet they found. Sadly it’s easier to laugh at memes about magnets than to confront their reality.
I’d include the rap subculture as well but regrettably their message became diluted when they achieved mainstream success and were co-opted by the marketing and propaganda machine as another tool to perpetuate the Spectacle.
I am also not a Juggalo, but every one that I have met has been kind and accepting to an aggressive degree.
I grew up around quite a few as they are pretty common in the Middle West especially middle and low income areas. Aggressively inclusive is a pretty good description of the subculture’s values. There’s some bullshit like anti science and anti education, but it comes from the elitism and exclusivity of those institutions which is a problem in public outreach and inclusiveness in academia. Most of the juggalos I’ve met just want to do drugs, listen to horrorcore rap, and watch wrestling, but I’ve also met some that can’t stand any of those things but just celebrate the stuff they do like instead of denigrating other people and their aesthetics.
I grew up around a lot of juggalos. The music is kind of just a small part of the culture, it really is an entire culture, one based on acceptance of anyone. At least in the 2000s there wasn’t anything else like that. Old heads gatekept punk, they had officially declared punk was dead. Metal was mainstream. Eminem was the only “credible” white rapper because he had street cred from Detroit. If you didn’t feel like you fit in, the juggalos were there saying you’re welcome here. If you decide to call yourself a jaggalo, then you are, and you’re apart of the family. No interrogations about what music you’ve listened to your whole life, when you got into a specific scene, what socioeconomic background you have.
And yeah your second point about rap is 100% true. I saw $uicideboy$ come and go. I remember in like 2014 they were underground, I really fucked with them. They made over 500 songs, had a huge following for the time, and were doing great. Then they signed onto universal to release iwtdino or whatever in like 2018. Never felt more betrayed. I really fucked with yung lean too, but he straight up said he was going to sell out. He was gonna get money. I respect that. $B are just corpo shills now acting like they’re underground while being the most mainstream corpo rappers to exist currently.
Rave was the same way until it also got pulled mainstream around 2007/2008
Before that we had assholes like Joe Biden trying to outlaw it by saying proving water to patrons was “encouraging drug use” and classifying any clubs that did it as “crackhouses”
That shit was my church and they burned it. I stand in solidarity with Juggalos.
I was trying to figure out where edm fits in to that but yeah, it was mainstream by the 90s. Started in the 70s, by the 80s there were defined raves for edm. But its hard to look at rave culture/edm as a whole since its so old and widespread. UK edm was different than US edm which was different than Latin American edm etc. Then all the divides within edm. House ravers didn’t want to go to hard style raves. Hard style ravers didn’t want to go to trance raves, etc.
The show Workaholics some years back did a juggalo episode and it was eye opening.
I love some Fago moon mist to this day.
Same goes for metalheads
CoC goes hard.
Thats actually from Confederate Flag off of the missing link album, but your original statement is correct CoC is awesome.
Hello fellow juggalos, it’s me, a juggalo. I was just taking Wolfie for a walk.
“Your foster-juggalos are dead”
“Have you seen this meme?”
“Never heard of him… Wait, isn’t that the meme over there!?”
Ha ha, took me a minute to recognize him as Nathan Fillion from the Rookie. 🙂
No, that’s the T-1000. A mimetic polyalloy.
No need to paint the face, this is known since time by Paparazi tired famous people.
To avoid smart glasses, this app
I wonder if those patterns still work.
Juggalos are still identified as a domestic terrorist org, probably for this exact reason
Jesus, with the horrible and steady descent into hell over the past years, I totally forgot about that. Ah, the nostalgia of the past when these clowns were so scary that they got bumped up to terrorists.
You know those influencers who are like makeup addicts? They often use shading or tape to change the shape of their faces. I wonder whether they could fool facial recognition technology as well.
The difference being that a person made up like that won’t stand out as much as a person wearing Juggalo makeup.
I think this guy definitely definitely knows how to fool them!
We must be close to the sort of flexible eink display that will finally make Rorschach’s mask a thing.
We become Rorschach. Funny joke, everyone laughs.
Who is this Rorschach guy and why does he have so many pictures of my parents fighting‽
People will call the cops on clowns they spot on the street, and cops respond. I kid you not, at least in some places.
