YMMV: Insane Clown Posse
  • Acceptable Targets: Many of their victims are assholes so you don't really feel bad when the duo brutalize them.
  • Contemplate Our Navels: Miracles is entirely about the little and big things in life that people seem to take for granted.
  • Continuity Lock-Out: What every new ICP fan will inevitably experience, at least at first.
  • Covered Up: A few:
    • "Assassins" was originally by Geto Boys.
    • "Let's Go All The Way" was originally by Sly Fox.
    • "Murder Rap" was originally by Above The Law.
  • Cult Classic: Riddle Box, The Great Milenko and The Amazing Jeckel Brothers.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: Some of theirs songs' protagonist carry out what could be considered this.
  • Family Unfriendly Aesop: Racism and greed are wrong, but torturing and murdering people who are racist and greedy is completely acceptable.
  • Fandom Rivalry: Juggalos vs. Eminem fans, not really because of their music, but their real-life rivalry. Also, Juggalos vs. Maggots, even though Slipknot's own members are Juggalos. ICP and Slipknot are actually mutual admirers, although ICP is not fond of Slipknot's decision to call their fans "maggots".
  • Fan Dumb: Obviously not all their fans, but there are definitely some that fit the trope.
  • Fan Hater / Hate Dumb: Who goes to the Facebook, MySpace or YouTube page of a band you hate every single day just to troll them? Not to mention the Hate Dumb that thinks it's a good idea to publicly call for genocide of that band's fans. Even worse, some of these idiots are posing as ICP fans in attempt to slip actual ICP fans poisoned Faygo.
    • "Miracles" resulted in some people lumping ICP in with creationists, even though the song's about seeing and experiencing things for the first time through the eyes of a child and was written with the rappers' own kids in mind (who appear in the music video wearing their respective daddies' facepaint styles).
  • Magnum Opus: Riddle Box
  • Memetic Mutation: "Miracles", both the music video and some of the lines from the song itself (eg. "Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?", "Magic everywhere in this bitch"). Based on some of their comments, it seems that this might be one of the only recorded successful attempts to create a Memetic Mutation by the creators of the meme themselves.
  • Paranoia Fuel: "The world famous Boogie Woogie Wu will come to you! Slumber parties, sleepovers, intimate nights, whatever the occasion for the midnight hour, he will gladly come and fuck that shit up!"
  • Sampled Up: A weird case. "Bowling Balls" samples the Public Enemy interlude "Security of the First World". Most Juggalos recognize the original, but not a reviewer, who believed that ICP sampled Madonna's single "Justify My Love", which samples the Public Enemy beat.
  • True Art Is Offensive: A lot of their discography is this.
  • True Art Sticks It To The Man: Heavily on Carnival of Carnage and Beverly Kills 50187, which criticize the upper class and the government's treatment of the lower class. From Ringmaster on, the band has been less political in its approach, but still occasionally feature political themes in their work, such as in "12" and the rare "Dead End" (the latter including Ice-T), both of which speak out against the death penalty.
