The Juggalos Gather: “Why Do They Hate Us? We’re Just In A Forest Getting Drunk, Having Fun, And They Hate Us For It”

August 11th, 2009 // 6 Comments


In case you were wondering what it might be like to attend The Gathering Of The Juggalos, artist Derek Erdman went, video camera in tow, and chronicled the Faygo-fueled masses’ trek into the deepest woods of Illinois. I… really don’t know what to say, although I really do hope that the guy cracking about breaking his parole for the purposes of making his pilgrimage was joking. [YouTube via The Awl]


  1. Am I the only person who thinks of “Ghost World” when she sees a pregnant woman smoking?

  2. It just reminds me my days working in a midwestern Indian casino.

  3. Let’s all laugh at these people and feel superior even though they had a great weekend with literally hundreds of friends while we sat on the internet, alone, making fun of them.

  4. @Weezy F Baby: Right. Hence my not really knowing what to say. Although the misogyny is sort of gruesome, and I still think smoking during pregnancy is gross.

  5. (And I did go out this weekend. Hmph!)

  6. I enjoyed the uplifting story of the Juggalo shoe fairy. Though I imagined a flip of that story where a guy recounts the time he went to the Gathering and was mugged for his shoes.
