There should be way more exposed tits on Phish lot. That is my take away.

I saw boobs at three Phish shows in 09, a personal best.

Take away most of the face-paint and change the soundtrack, and this could be a documentary about deadheads or phishheads

It's called tribalism. We all wish to be a part of something that is greater than ourselves, for without such communities life can often be a solitary, brutish and lonely affair. Whether this action is ascribed to sports teams, bands, religions, nations, or even web sites, there is no difference behind the impetus for the expression.

I've often thought of the paug as a tribe. As for the remainder of your statement, all lies!

Now you know why I called douche bags clowns.




this, among other parts, made me laugh though: "I'll be here all fuckin' day doing the same shit; drinkin' and blowin' stuff up"

You guys need to watch it again and ignore the background music.

A bunch of crazy people getting all fucked up at a camping festival for one band?  People sitting in lawn chairs doing whippits, juxtaposed with people bringing their kids?  People all claiming that the whole scene is about Family and accepting everything, while demonstrating that the scene is about getting totally fucked-up and being debased in a consequence-free environment?

Musical tastes aside, we're not that different than Juggaloes.  And we're certainly not that different in the eyes of people outside the scenes in question. 

Anyone could come in and make the same documentary about deadheads and phishheads. They could capture the same drug use, insanity, etc, while people are talking about how the scene's about Love and family and respecting other people and being free.  And we'd look just as bad.

Somebody could also make an even-handed documentary about either scene, but really, why waste your time on a documentary when its a thesis.

The key difference between juggalos and phishheads is the chanting. A crowd of juggalos will chant 'Who's goin' chicken huntin' over and over ad nauseum. While phishheads have honed our chanting skills to a single word "hood", except we have found a way to integrate it into the musical experience.

Also our beverage choices, we've got our Fat Tires and out Sammy Smith's, they've got their Faygo and their "cheapest beer at the store".

As an  aside, I once saw ICP in concert with my buddy (he went through a phase where he liked them), it was back in late '95 and they played here in Indy at an old movie theatre called The Emerson. I was only 14 and thought the music was terrible but the titties everywhere was awesome. And talk about crowd energy! Although I would rather sit through Coventry for the rest of my life than to have to watch the 'best' ICP concert over and over.

LOL at defending the Phish scene.  It's just as repulsive, if not more disgusting.  At the end of the day, it's all dirty, its just a matter of if the herp or teh crabs are your cup o' tea.  I agree with Keller.  That was my first thought upon seeing that documentary.  Holy shit, they're Phish-heads minus the redic mantras of pseudo hippiedom.  Both camps seem to have many lost souls, and that's just sad to me.

I DID watch it without the sound on, as I was promised there would be titties. Unfortunately, about a minute in, I decided it wasn't worth it.

This really good, only slightly dated documentary on the entertainment/culture industry says some interesting stuff about Insane Clown Posse.
