The FBI’s announcement comes during an informal anti-Juggalo crusade led by middle-to-upper class white hipsters of the “Stuff White People Like” variety.
The Gathering has been around for eleven years—an eon in pop-culture terms—and ICP for twenty, but only recently have the self-appointed College of Cardinals of Coolness and Contempt—Saturday Night Live, Gothamist, Spin magazine, Funny or Die, the Upright Citizens Brigade—bothered to notice and mock the Juggalos accordingly.
These are the same cultural curators who’d never make fun of the nudity, drug-taking, and all-around freakishness of Burning Man, because, after all, it attracts a better, more “Blue State” class of “alternative” weirdos.
