In Popular Media
Psychopathic Records launched the professional wrestling company Juggalo Championship Wrestling in 1999.
In 2009, Psychopathic Video filmed a documentary about Juggalos entitled A Family Underground.
Mainstream media has also made references to the Juggalo subculture. In 2009, television sketch comedy Saturday Night Live began a reoccurring series of sketches about the "Kickspit Underground Rock Festival" which parodies Juggalos and the Gathering of the Juggalos. The following year, the television show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia parodied Juggalos on the episode "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America’s Youth". In 2011, the television show Workaholics aired an episode called "Straight Up Juggahos" that revolved around Juggalos and an Insane Clown Posse concert. Later that year, an independent documentary entitled American Juggalo was released.
Several well-known figures have identified themselves as Juggalos. These include actors Kane Hodder and Charlie Sheen, professional wrestlers Kazushige Nosawa, Vampiro, Colt Cabana, and Willie Mack, and rappers Chuck D, Coolio, Kung Fu Vampire, MURS, and Vanilla Ice.

“But popular rage,
Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
