It is pretty mainstream when you can buy the merch at any mall with a Hot Topic or a Spencer's.
And because of controversy on the news and internet, most people in America over 12 and under like, 60, are going to have some idea what you're talking about or what a related logo is. I mean, who hasn't seen a hatchet man or Joker's Card sticker on the freeway?
And ICP themselves have been making constant appearances on shows that a lot of people watch.
If the culture isn't mainstream already and does become mainstream in the future, I don't think that's a bad thing either. It is what it is. Have no fear, embrace it. Or, you can leave it if it isn't to your liking.

I'd say the business and music itself is definitely part of the mainstream culture now. Our culture itself though, spawned largely because there was a hole that mainstream culture wasn't filling for a lot of us. The very existence of our culture relies on the fact that not everybody could be into this shit.
If our culture ever 'went' mainstream, then I would see this as a good thing. This just means that there are more and more people looking for something different than the cookie cutter shit being fed to the masses. More people with open minds. Buuutttt I don't think it will ever be 'cool' to be a juggalo. Aren't we after all the antithesis of cool?
There's a gateway in our minds
That leads somewhere out there, far beyond this plane

Now you gotta look for anything that was hot back then.

I don't know if that can singularly be blamed on the music though. That's kind of like a culture wide problem, and it spans a lot deeper than modern youth. I'm the yougest person I work with and I'm way more open to criticism and advice than any of my coworkers ages 21-65. Of course I might just be dealing with "you're not even twenty who do you think you are knowing more about shit than me" bias. That and 95% of them are in NA so they think being recovered junkies with four kids makes them the wisest worldliest people on earth.

Any positive message that song could have is lost on me due to the shitty attitude it teaches girls. Yeah, you shouldn't have to live up to society's ridiculous standards of perfection, however to wave your hand and dismiss people also teaches you to be a cunt that can't take criticism. Go ahead. Go up to anyone in the world who is doing something wrong and try to show them how to do it correctly.
Yeah, this whole dismissing shit as just hate thing gets stupid. You try to nicely warn somebody that they stink of sweat and they get mad and tell you to fuck off or blame the stench on you. Its why I choose to be an asshole. They will probably get mad anyways so why not have fun with it?
Unrelated note, where the hell is @patjoyce ?
