Then he ran away. I heard Shaggy's boys look just like Shaggy but not 100% on this. Well you said it best. Its easy to look like shaggy when youre in ing clown makeup. And his kids are CHUDs like he is.

Music really is magic.
You can't even hold it.
It's just there...
in the air.
My God, a game of Peek-A-Boo would absolutely blow their minds!

Someone else reading the A.V. Club, I presume?
...because that's where I found this video yesterday.
Besides a very brief flirtation with them when I was 12 years old (a time when I had yet to develop a discernible taste in music, or the ability to reason for that matter), I have long had a very strong aversion to the Insane Clown Posse and their "juggalo" fanbase. So, any haven for hurling insults at juggalos on the internet is sure to supply me with plenty of laughs for a good stretch of several hours.
I find ICP to be most undeserving of the massive amounts of money they have, but I'll give them credit for this, they were intelligent enough to know how to indoctrinate youth, keep them hooked, and continually bilk them out of their money. There are these kids, young, impressionable, and not really popular. They often are the brunt of beatings from the schoolyard bully. They have very few friends. Nowhere really to go. Then comes along their newly found guardian angels, Shaggy 2 Dope, and Violent J, collectively the Insane Clown Posse. They offer them sanctuary, both in the now, with a community ready to embrace them, and in the afterlife, "Shangri-La", or whatever the hell they call it, Dark Carnival. Now, this sounds pretty sweet to the impressionable young loser. Now, what do they give to them? Why, it's all their disposable income! They'll be buying whatever the clowns peddle to them. CDs, DVDs, t-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, posters, books (the only ones they will ever touch), wristbands, board games, what have you. They'll think they found something greater that they can belong to, but all they are doing is paying their money and their soul to the cold uncaring machine known as "Psychopathic Records". Now, hopefully upon reaching the age where they develop the ability to reason, they'll see that this is all stupid, and drop it, and go on with life. Unfortunately, there are a few lost souls out there who don't get the memo, and stay with it for far longer than they rightfully should have. Those are people that are clinically diagnosed as having "no hope".
Several things from that video startled me. One, goddamn Violent J got gigantic. I mean, he was always the bigger of the 2, but damn. Second, there is no image that has ever brought greater sadness to me than seeing those kids in the clown makeup. Three, their ship flies into the sun at the end (which it took a double take to notice it's the cover to their latest album that's in the sun), I can only reason that since they apparently don't believe in science, it is their belief that if they were to theoretically blast off into a ship and fly to the sun, they wouldn't be incinerated upon touchdown on the surface of the sun, as that's what scientists would tell you would happen, and we all know they're just lyin' and getting Shaggy 2 Dope pissed.
Damn, I typed way more about ICP than I really should have, I guess. But, at least it had more thought put into it than their song lyrics, amirite?
and furthermore, if given the choice of dudes in facepaint progressively growing older, I would much prefer viewing the video of Fat Mike's "Cokie The Clown" set from SXSW over ICP anyday (Jerry Only isn't invited to the party either, BTW). At least that was somewhat interesting. This is just banal and terrible.

I actually enjoy ICPs music. And they are hella hilarious in real life. But I can understand why people don't like them.
Edit: Even as a fan I have to admit that video/song was pretty bad. Not ICPs best work.

That would be like if I said all fans of John Mayer are douchebags. It's not true. Sure there are certain fans like the ones you're describing, but there are also a good deal that aren't like that. I personally had an awesome childhood/teen years and I enjoy their music. Obviously I realize that they aren't amazing musicians, but their music is still enjoyable to me.

The difference is that John Mayer doesn't encourage his fans to act like the lowest common denominator of society.

It's for it not to be a meme. It's legitimately the most ridiculous existing.
