Juggalos Upset Over Emergence Of 'Clowncore' Scene

A group of Juggalos in Sydney has established a grassroots movement to protest the emerging 'clowncore' scene among the city's youth.

As an increase in unsettling clown sightings and American Horror Story: Freak Show sweep the globe, the "posers" in the clowncore scene are merely capitalising on the renewed discomfort surrounding clowns, the Juggalos say, while they have staunchly been building an image of anti-sociability for years.

"This is some bullshit," West Sydney Juggalo Society treasurer William Holdsworth Jr roared when SPA Confidential made contact. "It's like, some fucking posers see a couple clowns on TV that make people uncomfortable and think they can start an entire community because of it — but we've been making people uncomfortable since the '90s."

For some Juggalos, the new competition is especially unwelcome, with WSJS member Ryan Carey telling SPA Confidential that his daughter had fallen prey to the emergent scene, and that other parents in his club were equally worried their children may follow suit.

"There is nothing funny or wholesome about grown people dressing up like the human embodiment of a nervous breakdown," he said. "Bella was bad enough when she was just a part of that straight-edge thing a couple of years back, but now she'll probably be even less bearable as a person.

"If I wasn't her father, I wouldn't have anything to do with her."
