I guess it’s like the Marilyn Manson effect; scary or dark aesthetic that shocks normies (TBF ICP has some of the strangest, grossest songs and lyrics ever), but in the end it’s all entertainment and an act–i remember seeing Manson interviewed in Bowling for Columbine speaking so eloquently, empathetically and clearly about what real violence and fear being dumped on Americans was (he was singled out, along with Beavis and Butthead) for what was wrong with 90s kids. It was obviously true to people not braindead on local news at the time but in retrospect was just the consequences of 80s cutting education, social services and concentration of wealth and power that impoverished American families.
Also similar to the way members of The Satanic Temple are looked at, as well as their beliefs overall. Just because we use Satan as a symbol, we must be evil.
I don’t really care for ICP myself, but every Juggalo I’ve encountered has been the most open-minded, welcoming person I’ve ever met.

Yeah that was a good interview.
Too bad about everything they came out a few years ago though
