Woop woop
the leftist/lemming fashion trend of 2026!
Every Cyberpunk setting has a gang of clowns. Jokerz, Halloweeners, Bozos
Second time this week I've had an occasion to use this gif. Shame I couldn't find one with more pixels.
So the Juggalo 's were right?
Man, this timeline is insane
Last year, Ticketmaster and LiveNation invested in a former military facial recognition company, with the hope that the technology could be used to both strengthen and speed up event entry
Because of course
If Juggalo makeup isn't your thing, going Sith would probably work just as well.
If you're thinking lf Darth Maul, that was his face because he was a Zabrak and they sport facial tattoos. Facial tattoos aren't a necessary feature of the Sith.
Are they tattoos? I thought Dathomiri Zabrak just had skin spot patterns?
In one of the books it talks about him earning the tattoos. I think they were related to sith alchemy or rituals but were fairly niche among the sith. Palpetine was a weird one even for the sith it seems.
Maybe just an Adam Ant stripe
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 amd 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 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.

Great until the cops are looking for that one Juggalo in Jamestown but you have to represent..
I think in the future everyone will wear masks like daft punk
Which is already illegal in much of the US. Will it hold up in court? Maybe not but that doesn't stop cops from demanding you take it off
Makeup isn't though: we all just need to get down with the clown.
Brb, investing heavily in National Beverage Corp (FIZZ).
It won't work alone for long in the age of AI. You won't be tracked and identified by face alone. It'll be a complex array of data points. Your face, your hair, your eye color if the cameras have the resolution, your height, your gait, your posture, your scars and injuries, your visible birth defects, whether you use mobility aids, the wireless devices emitting signals in your pockets, the list goes on and on. They'll assemble dozens of data points and make it extremely difficult to falsify enough to avoid detection instead of just getting flagged as suspicious.
Even if you go full privacy focused with a locked down phone and a dumb car flock cameras are tracking your plate, scanners are tracking the tire sensors in your wheels and phones need IMEI tower connections so all that is logged.
God dammit, we can be tracked by the fucking tire sensors? Fucking hate this timeline...

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.

Hello fellow juggalos, it’s me, a juggalo. I was just taking Wolfie for a walk.

We must be close to the sort of flexible eink display that will finally make Rorschach's mask a thing.

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.

Why would they need facial recognition? Just look for the guy in clown makeup.
