i was thinking about this recently and i want to speak on this so that it is written down somewhere on this huge thing called the internet because i've never seen anyone address it in my life i have been a fan of a lot of bands over the years and the main one that has always been dissed by people is the insane clown posse when i first saw icp i was like afraid of them because their albums were just black with a joker on the front like this well over time i gave them a try and i really liked them.. for me- they are like 311 in that, all the music they did in the 90s was basically flawless so when i realized how good they were i began to wonder why everyone always dissed them if i ever told anyone i liked icp they'd go into a long tirade about how they're the worst band of all time and i'm a terrible human being for liking them but i realized the people who were saying these things never even heard a full album.. or probably never even heard a full song from icp so where did they get these notions from? there are 3 people who diss icp.. 1. journalists 2. people who have heard icp music and disapprove 3. people who are taking a journalist's word as law i want to explain why everyone always disses them so everyone who sees this will know the main reason is this: ICP IS AGAINST RACISM this is the defining factor about this group that i have realized challenges racist and classist notions in society they challenge people to see others as equals as opposed to seeing them as hopeless derelicts and trash i don't even listen to icp anymore really but still to this day i hear people bashing them because they heard 10 other people bash them.. so it becomes a parrot-fest i am not on here trying to tell you to listen to them, like i said i really only listened to their 90s music so that's not my intent, my intent is to explain why people are always dissing them so hard and why they go out of their way to diss them its because icp is a group of white guys who are against racism and classism.. they actually diss racist people and rich people in their music constantly... they are always talking about how they need to treat people with respect and share their wealth racist white people HATE icp for this its just real.. this is the root of all that negative press that follows icp white journalists who have an "us vs. them" mentality will always hate insane clown posse for saying things like (you can legit just read what's there without clicking play) so of course things like that are going to ruffle feathers in the journalism world icp has countless examples of being against racism.. its really like built into their image's dna.. so i hope everyone understands that that is why they have always been bashed so hard i don't really listen to them anymore.. for me they got me through high school and i think their 90s music is their best by far.. but i just want everyone to understand where the animosity toward them comes from
