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

Description

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 horrorcorehip-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. After a long obsession with Juggalos and the Rainbow Gathering, he set out to report on events like these, Gonzo-style, to find out what they're really all about.
