Ever wonder what it's like to be a diehard fan of one of the world's most eccentric musical groups No Then you're in luck! Craven Rock journeys deep into Juggalo country to get a better understanding of the staying power and appeal of the horrorcorehiphop duo, Insane Clown Posse (ICP).
Ridiculous, disturbing, and downright weird, Juggalos seem more caricature than real. But look past their makeup and overthetop personas, go beyond first impressions, and you'll find something surprisingly relatable and quintessentially human.
Part festivalgoer's journal, part music history, part investigative report, part social commentary.
