20 things that are weird everywhere except Detroit

Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly in this very strange city we live in.

Juggalos Whoop whoop! Those Faygo-loving people wearing clown makeup? No need to be afraid — those are the Juggalos, the jolly fans of the Detroit rap duo Insane Clown Posse. They’re also quite possibly metro Detroit’s most misunderstood subculture, having been labeled as a "loosely organized hybrid gang" by the United States Department of Justice in its 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment. In 2014, the group filed a lawsuit with the ACLU against the DOJ and the FBI. In 2017, an appeals court dismissed the suit, though the ACLU encourages Juggalos to sue local police over individual cases of discrimination. Photo by Josh Justice
