It’s not that often when metal creeps its way into mainstream pop culture. So when metal/hard rock acts do actually pop up in beloved sitcoms, dramatic films, cartoons or even reality series, it’s kind of awesome.

Back in 2011, the FBI classified juggalos, or fans of Insane Clown Posse as a “loosely organized hybrid gang” in a report. In 2012, the Detroit duo filed a lawsuit against the FBI.
