What Do Juggalettes And Juggalos Love?

Just as Insane Clown Posse has become an American subculture phenomenon over the last two decades, the band’s fan base consisting of Juggalettes and Juggalos has become equally fascinating. How many other bands can say they have a fan base with its own name and language to start, but one as devoted as the Juggalettes and Juggalos are to ICP? Very, very few.

Anyone who’s seen any of the ICP documentaries will know that Juggalos and Juggalettes greet each other by saying “whoop whoop,” which is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things that they love. Without further ado, let’s see what else is in favor with Juggalettes and Juggalos. Whoop whoop!

1) Horror Rap

Juggalettes and Juggalos aren’t the type of people to get down in clubs to mainstream pop and hip hop music. That said, while you may here hoots and hollers of whoop whoop at clubs when a favorite song comes on, it’s guaranteed that none if then are being used the same way Juggalos and Juggalettes use whoop whoop. Instead, they like darker music like horror rap with topics far away from the club scene. Whoop whoop!

2) The Hatchetman

While the hatchetman symbol that’s become ubiquitous in ICP culture is actually the symbol of Insane Clown Posse’s record label, Psychopathic Records, it is also found everywhere: Necklaces, charms, tattoos, t-shirts. It’s to be expected that when you greet a fellow Juggalette or Juggalo (with or without a whoop whoop) you can find a hatchetman symbol somewhere in the near vicinity.

3) Juggalettes

And I don’t mean just for the men. Juggalettes respect each other so much that their bond goes beyond any standard whoop whoop greeting. Despite any notion that Juggalettes fight based on the oil wrestling at Gathering of the Juggalos, female ICP fans hold Juggalette beauty pageants that are far from hostile.

4) Face Paint

ICP’s most visually identifiable trait is without a doubt their clown paint. Juggalettes and Juggalos both mimic this well, and you’ll be sure to see much of it at any ICP concert. If saying whoop whoop as a greeting wasn’t enough to identify an authentic ICP follower, than the face paint surely is. There are several manuals online instructing fans how to paint their faces like ICP, so if you’re curious look them up!

5) Each Other

Juggalettes and Juggalos are like family. One big, misunderstood family that takes pride in their “us against the world” mentality. The family convenes once a year at the annual Gathering of the Juggalos festival in the Midwest. Whoop whoops are of course heard a million times a day at a place like this, just one thing outsiders can point to as Juggalos loving to meet each other and expand their own ICP network. Whoop whoop!
