That's exactly what I was thinking lol.
People celebrate stupid shit all the time (or, at least, stuff that I would roll my eyes at).
There are plenty of traditions (cultural, religious, social, family, etc.) that are nonsensical in this day and age, but people them do just because they've always done it. Is that justification for it? Not really. Is that going to stop them from doing it? Not in the slightest.
As long as they're not hurting anyone, and as long as we don't *really* take them too seriously (just smile and nod), I don't really care too much. I'll be happy we have the right to do stupid things, but facepalm that we still do them.
Maybe... someday... we'll do fewer of them.

Get your head out of your ass. What a stupid fuckin' comment. What give anyone in this thread the right to hate on these people? Is this any "weirder" than sitting in front of a computer and watching hours upon hours of people you've never met play video games? People generally enjoy hanging out with people who have similar tastes and interests, you know, kinda like this website? I say more power to these people for finding something they love and being passionate about it.

Yeah, it is. These people are fucking idiots and it surpasses what was just seen in the video.

This pretty much reminds me of the hippie movement of the 60's-70's in the US, its pretty much the same philosophy, and I believe it was mainstream for youth for a while...
And people were doing far more stupid stuff back then...

Loved the mini-doc, enjoyed partaking in their stories and mantras; would never be one myself though.

Juggalos are absolutely horrendous for various reasons, but this video in doesn't really show the particular things about them that show why they are derided, and why they often deserve to be derided.

You kidding? Every other person is talking about family/love/happiness being the most important thing. Did you watch the video?
Doesn't that read "hippy" all over?

If doing what you enjoy and love makes you an idiot by your logic, then I guess we're all idiots.

You are talking about a group of people that pelted people on stage with stones simply because they don't like them. Obviously it is a seriously stupid idea to even consider going on stage for these people if you aren't a ICP related act, but no one ever deserves to receive such violence just for the fact that they weren't liked by the crowd.
Like I said before, there are so many reasons why juggalos deserve to be derided but this video doesn't really show it. Anyone can fucking talk about how family/love/happiness is the most important thing. If you haven't noticed, politicians of every colour and shape talk about these things until their lips dry. Keeping such things on the tip of your tongue doesn't make you a good person. It's about what you do, and far too many juggalos do not act like decent people. Moreover, juggalo communities often not just accept and tolerate, but encourage each other to act in such ways.

I watched this, my friend told me he was laughing historically the whole time at how stupid these ppl were, i just thought the whole thing not just the people were not very smart, why would you shout "wooo woo" every five seconds its something like a meme it just makes them feel better while not helping at all. I read an article about how high self esteem breeds stupidity(not exactly but that was the summary) and i think it was right

This makes Americans look bad its ok life will grab them by the balls some day and they will be forced to change or fall.

Celebrating stupidity is getting all your political views from fox news ...
Overall, it's like anything else, you make a documentary, you find the stupidest weirdest funniest people you can, and make a 'documentary' based on that.
To me, this just looks like misfits bonding together and finding a reason for it.
Everyone I heard in the video talked pretty much about everyone being accepted no matter what, everyone being family, etc etc etc.
I would imagine people that are stupid, do drugs, feel isolated, been abused, been treated like shit, etc etc, would find that very appealing.
Beyond that, from what I saw, it doesn't seem much different from what you can find at any kind of big summer happening, be it Roskilde in Denmark, Metalfest in Gothenburg, or wherever.
@angryhorse: 22:08 at the right ?

I'd imagine it's something like yelling your sports teams slogan or whatever. Sounds stupid, but doesn't say anything about your intelligence.

I just want to point out that, although many of the juggalo's themselves are less than intelligent, their 'family' is by no means predicated on 'anti-intelectualism'.
Forget religion, i much of this in politics today.
The point is that many of these people come from difficult back-grounds, be it poverty, abuse, or any number of adverse social conditions.
What they get from their gatherings is; not only the sense, but the actual benefit, of belonging to a community that will accept them as they are without judging them.
The fact is, that practically by definition anyone who belongs to the SC2 community is from a privileged social background, compared to what appears to the majority of juggalo's.
I will say that as I have no personal experience of the juggalo community, I have no right to pass judgment on them (as a community), considering our different social backgrounds.
I may, however judge individual juggalo's based on actions which are objectively bad, such as the pregnant woman who appears to be smoking a cigarette.

Ten thousand people out of 300 million doesn't really make America look bad, every place in the world has their own weird self-destructive groups.
