Founded in Detroit in 1989, Insane Clown Posse performs a style of hardcore hip hop known as horrorcore and is known for its elaborate live performances. Originally known as JJ Boyz and Inner City Posse, the group introduced supernatural- and horror-themed lyrics as a means of distinguishing itself stylistically. The duo founded the independent record label Psychopathic Records with Alex Abbiss as manager, and produced and starred in the feature films Big Money Hustlas and Big Money Rustlas. They formed their own professional wrestling promotion, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, and later collaborated with many hip hop and rock musicians.
The songs of Insane Clown Posse center thematically on the mythology of the Dark Carnival, a metaphoric limbo in which the lives of the dead are judged by one of several entities. The Dark Carnival is elaborated through a series of stories called Joker's Cards, each of which offers a specific lesson designed to change the "evil ways" of listeners before "the end consumes us all". The original lineup of Insane Clown Posse was John Utsler (John Kickjazz), Joe Bruce (Violent J) and Joey Utsler (Shaggy 2 Dope). John Utsler left before Carnival of Carnage was released in 1992.
Insane Clown Posse's performance style is often described as horrorcore hip hop, which "utilize shocking (and blatantly over-the-top) narratives to give an over-exaggerated, almost cartoon-like version of urban deprivation in Detroit", according to author Sara Cohen. Bruce and Utsler describe many of their lyrics as being tongue-in-cheek. The group's early work features a raw, minimalistic sound, which later evolved into a more rock-oriented style. The group's lyrics serve as morality tales, with songs focusing on subjects such as cannibalism, murder and necrophilia. Insane Clown Posse's debut album, Carnival of Carnage, features a politically-oriented focus, criticizing elitism and prejudice against those who live in the ghetto, while the album's liner notes criticize the Gulf War. The group's lyrics have opposed racism, bigotry, domestic violence, and child abuse.
Insane Clown Posse has covered songs by Geto Boys, Sly Fox, and Above the Law. Bruce and Utsler refer to Ice Cube, Awesome Dre, Geto Boys, and Esham as influences on their own music, while Bruce has expressed admiration for Gong, Pearl Jam, and Michael Jackson. Mike E. Clark's production for the group incorporates elements such as "carnival organ riffs, power chords and shotgun blasts...banjolike plucking and Van Halen-esque guitar squeals", while Bruce and Utsler sometimes alternate between rapping and screaming. Bruce has credited pop music as an influence on some of the group's material, even terming the music "Wicked Pop". Bruce has also stated "We do our own genre of music". In his review of The Tempest, Allmusic's David Jeffries writes that Bruce and Utsler "[rap] in a carnival barker fashion that fits with their circus motif, their Insane Clown disguises, and Mike E. Clark's big top-inspired production." Insane Clown Posse has influenced similar acts, such as Axe Murder Boyz, Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Boondox.
Forever
Insane Clown Posse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna be with Shaggy and Billy my dogs for life
And I pray that will never change every night
I said never again and then I did it and did it again
I can't pretend I won't lie Yo I've lost control
And it's a scary and ever I got it together
But it took forever now I want forever
Truth is happiness is in your own head
How perceive shit and believe it is
It's all you some of us sad fouls can't help
It living in a bad mood
Shit hurts and then it only gets worse
They don't get it not even the experts
But trust me it won't last forever you hit
Bottom shit finally gets better
Some don't need bank to laugh and live
On the bright side whatever the path
When you hit 40 or 50 that shits
Half enjoy youth
Cause that you don't get back
Forever revolves around you
That's your time I'm living
In mine too how much
Positivity are you blind to you
Only live once I'll remind you.
None of that lasts forever but you
Just might like the new change it's better
It's funny how we adapt and keep
It together as the months roll by season and weather
But when it all shuts off whoa The Death Pop
And that will be the day your
Forever will stop
And then we experience these
Emotions with pink shy highs lows deep as oceans
I wanna see you and me last forever
Loop this life up and end it never
And live through the ages the lows
The stages and never let them
Close the pages to find the piece of mind is impossible
Forever is plagued
With obstacles so we
Make the best of
Good times
We stuck on play we
Can't rewind
We just wanna see us all together
After forever off in Shangri-La
Off in Shangri-La
We just wanna see us all together
After forever off in Shangri-La
Off in Shangri-La
Off in Shangri-La

This life tricky mean and strange you be sure about one thing change for worse or for better maintain catch wisdom try to gain brains in my life I've seen a lot come and go like nonstop fashion show very little shit lasts forever and just because shits new it ain't better
Life is complex and unpredictable, but change is certain. We should strive to learn from experience and gain wisdom. I've observed many trends come and go, and very few things are truly timeless. It's important to recognize that just because something is new or trendy, it doesn't necessarily mean it's better than what came before.

I value the friendships I have with Shaggy and Billy, and hope they will last forever. However, I've made mistakes in the past and lost control of my life. It was a challenging and frightening experience, but I've since regained control. Now, I want my life to stay the way it is currently, as it's what makes me happy.

The key to happiness is how you choose to perceive and believe things. It's ultimately up to you, and even if you're struggling with negative emotions, it won't last forever. You'll hit rock bottom, but it will eventually get better. You don't need money to be happy, and focusing on the positive aspects of life can help you find enjoyment regardless of what's happening around you.
When you hit 40 or 50 that shits
Half enjoy youth
Cause that you don't get back
Forever revolves around you
That's your time I'm living
In mine too how much
Positivity are you blind to you
Only live once I'll remind you.
As you get older, you appreciate your youth more, as you can't go back in time. Your life revolves around you, and it's up to you to make the most of it. I'm living my life to the fullest, and I encourage you to do the same. Don't focus on negativity, as you only live once and should make the most of your time.
None of that lasts forever but you
Just might like the new change it's better

And that will be the day your
Forever will stop
Nothing lasts forever, but change can be a good thing. It's amazing how adaptable we can be, as we weather the different seasons and changes life brings. However, there will come a day when everything will end, referred to as 'The Death Pop', and that's when your forever will come to an end.
And then we experience these
Emotions with pink shy highs lows deep as oceans
I wanna see you and me last forever
Loop this life up and end it never
And live through the ages the lows
The stages and never let them
Close the pages to find the piece of mind is impossible
Life is full of emotions, ranging from soft, to shy, to high, to low, as deep as the ocean. I want our relationship to last forever, to enjoy life's experiences and never let them go. We should live through the good times, as well as the bad, and always keep our minds open to new possibilities.
Forever is plagued
With obstacles so we
Make the best of
Good times
We stuck on play we
Can't rewind
Forever is never perfect, and we will face obstacles, but we should make the best of our good times. We can't go back to the past, as life is constantly moving forward.
We just wanna see us all together
After forever off in Shangri-La
Off in Shangri-La
We just wanna see us all together
After forever off in Shangri-La
Off in Shangri-La
We want everyone to be together, even after forever has passed, in a place like Shangri-La, a mythical utopia where everyone is happy and peaceful.
