People with bad taste get shit on relentlessly regardless of whether they deserve it or not. Look at how badly Twilight was maligned in our culture despite the fact that it was really just a series of books that was unapologetic in its catering to tween girls. For that sin it was constantly parodied and its fans made fun of for years on end.
I don't know, I saw ICP in 2000 I think it was. At the after party for a local street race. They seemed out of place (musically), but weren't the most offensive thing I heard that night. There were no noticeable juggalos around then though.
I don't like them because they've turned their personal style and American "white trash"/rural poverty into an aesthetic (which I do admittedly think is awful) and it's been exported here, out of any context that makes sense.
I felt the same about people here that thought "gangsta rap" was a lifestyle choice.
Of course I'm overwhelmingly not a fan of American cultural, religious and political influence on Australia.
