Insane Clown Posse (quote, band, cheap)

ElephantSack · 01-20-2010, 09:56 PM

I'm not ashamed to say that I've been listening to Clowns since I was a weed lad (probably 11), right after The Great Milenko came out. I thought they were fuckin' hilarious, and that's what got me into them. They've got songs that I don't like, of course, but it's just one of those things that gets hated by people that don't understand it.

It's interesting how different two people's perceptions of a band can be, I wonder sometimes if it has as much to do with one's stage in life as anything else. I first heard ICP in the mid-90s when I was in college and thought they were one of the dumbest things I had ever heard. I was astonished when they started to get really popular a short time later.

Yeah, the fact that I discovered them at a young age was a big reason I like them, but I never really grew past toilet humor, either.

So I still enjoy them from time to time. It depends on who I'm with and what we're doing though.

I gotta go with this. Musically, they're one of the worst "bands" around. But for some reason, I can't help but like them. I do have a very juvenile sense of humour so that probably helps.

I got into ICP 3 or 4 years ago and I was completely obsessed back then, nowadays not as much but I still love them. I can really understand that they aren't for everyone though I just enjoy the music and the humour, especially The Great Milenko that album is awesome.

insane clown posse just sucks and its litterally true that they are the worst group ever and if someone says they are freaking awesome I know for a fact its a joke because nobody can say they are great and thats just the way it goes.

Well. No arguing with that logic. Somebody get the word out.

Oh jesus, a friend of mine showed this to me on vimeo a few months back. It's fun to laugh at for like the first 5 minutes...and then you're just overwhelmed by how tragic it is. On a technical level, I though the documentary was well made though.
