Juggalos

2014 Clown was probably my favorite clown movie until art came along.

I'm not a juggalo I never made that connection until you brought it up, but that's a really interesting point.

Got me wondering about the history.

"Several names were considered before Bruce recalled his dream of a clown running around in Delray, which became the inspiration for the group's new name: Insane Clown Posse. The group decided they would all don face paint due to the success of their former clown-painted hype man.[9] Upon returning home that night, Bruce says he had a dream in which "spirits in a traveling carnival appeared to him" – an image that would become the basis for the Dark Carnival mythology detailed in the group's Joker's Cards series.[9]"

According to this article.

Wow they really built their movement from the ground up.

Sorry for the tangent, i used to listen to ICP back in college but haven't really explored the culture much since then, so it was interesting to read about their history.

I think the whole "clown" angle is why I like ICP more than Dark Lotus. It makes things a bit more ridiculous which is disarming, but then they catch ya by actually being serious. There's a perfect blend that ICP's got, like 1 part clowns, 1 part street gangsters, 1 part scrubs, 1 part supernatural. The other Psychopathic acts don't have that perfect blend.

As far as non-ICP wicked clowns, I dunno, I'm not that familiar, I read "It" back when I was a kid and I know about The Joker ofc. Oh yeah and this skit from Key n Peele.
