Preparing for Your Favorite Music Festival
Music festivals in general are big business already, but two unique festival ideas that are growing more popular by the year are artist-curated and themed music festivals. The former option gives one band or record label full reign on who plays and what activities are involved, and gives that company tons of brand exposure in return. In themed festivals, there’s often a musical theme like jam bands or metal bands that is accompanied by any atmosphere associated with that style.
If you’re smart, you can combine both ideas into one and throw an artist-curated, themed music festival that gives more bang for buck than any other option. Insane Clown Posse was so ahead of the game on this one that they’ve been doing it for twelve years!
Why Gathering of the Juggalos is so Popular
There are many things that made Insane Clown Posse’s Gathering of the Juggalos horror rap soiree different from every other major music festival in 2011, primarily its deliberately underground nature. This music festival’s predominant genre of music is that of horror rap, a genre very rare in mainstream music — just the way Insane Clown Posse members and Juggalos want it.
Aside from the general sound booked at the Insane Clown Posse music festival, other things that set it apart were the wide range of activities available to Juggalos in attendance: bonfires, helicopter rides, artist seminars (with Insane Clown Posse and others), autograph sessions, wet tee shirt contests and Juggalettes are just some of what was offered at this Gathering of the Juggalos horror Rap Music festival in 2011.
For examples of just how devoted Juggalos are to Insane Clown Posse’s mission, check out some of the ways fans get prepared for the festival every year. If every music festival in 2011 had this much personality and drew this much energy from music enthusiasts, music festivals in 2011 would be more popular than they already are.
Insane Clown Posse Face Paint
It’s impossible not to notice the face paint permanently plastered to the faces of Insane Clown Posse horror rappers Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. They’re never seen without it, and neither should you be at Insane Clown Posse’s Gathering of the Juggalos horror rap music festival!
When applying the face paint, remember that the objective is to look frightening. Insane Clown Posse perform horror rap, after all. You wouldn’t fit in very well at the Gathering of the Juggalos if you painted your face like a normal, happy clown.
Thanks to its complexity, accomplishing the Insane Clown Posse horror rap face paint look is harder than it sounds. Whatever horror rap face paint design you choose, make sure to dash in some red accents to make sure you look as wicked as possible. At the same time, make sure your horror rap face paint looks good before you attend Gathering of the Juggalos!
Gathering of the Juggalos Inside Lingo
A unique lingo is just one more thing that the Gathering of the Juggalos brings to the table that no other music festival in 2011 has offered or will offer. If there’s one term that’s universal among Insane Clown Posse adoring Juggalos at the Gathering of the Juggalos, it’s “whoop whoop.” Its meaning is about as simple as you’d expect, translating to a simple hello or what’s up.
Horror Rap Merchandise
As Insane Clown Posse and most other bands that performed at the Gathering of the Juggalos music festival in 2011 are closely associated with the horror rap genre, nearly all merchandise sold at the Gathering of the Juggalos will reflects that. Horror rap hoodies, tees, action figures, posters, pretty much any artist merchandise you can imagine was on hand, branded with artistic horror rap gore of some sort.
Anatomy of Successful Music Festivals in 2011
If the facts about Gathering of the Juggalos above can teach us anything about the modern music landscape and how festivals can continue to grow beyond 2011, it’s that creating a sense of belonging is key. Through providing alternative activities and creating miniature inner-festival cultures, many music festivals could soon grow to reach the same status as Gathering of the Juggalos.
