It's just some music somehow loses its popularity through time. Take Hair Metal for example. It's not often you hear new Hair Metal music anymore, somehow, it just went away even though there was some really good hair metal back in the day.
Anyways I think Juggalo Music will die out within 20 years. The music is not the smartest, it's often shockrap or joke making rap, the musicians who are made in the business are often unhealthy, and consuming a lot of alcohol, and other dangerous drugs, and so are their followers. It's not easy being a made Juggalo musician as it is, and with them living dangerous lifestyles I see the big musicians dying early and the music suffering due to it, same with the juggalo listeners since a lot of them live similar unhealthy lifestyles.. As time goes by I think many Juggalo musicians will also quit making that kind of music. This is just what I expect to happen if it does not just lose popularity because people think it is bad music.
I think there are much worse things then Juggalo Music....But just about everything I listen to has been controversial at some time or another. Also, not everyones perfect if all songs where about how perfect everyones lives are music would be so boring lots of people in bands of other genres are also unhealthy, consuming a lot of alcohol and drugs as are many of the fans of various genres of music. That's actually been going on quite some time, I mean what about all that acid rock in the 60's I really doubt the majority of people into that spent all their time sober.
In the 60's The Doors where considered controversial for making drug & sex references, the way I see it if someone wants to write a song about drugs, alcohol, sex or any other topic they have every right to. As for music dying out I would hope the mainstream popular music dies because its terrible but I do hope Metal and Psychedelic Rock, and various other genres continue. Even if they do end up ignored by the vast majority of people who are too busy listening to mainstream popular music.
Yes there is much worse music than Juggalo music. Nazi music for example...
I never claimed music made with the assistance of mind altering drugs was bad, or anything like that. Most of the music I listen to is made by people who consume such things. I prefer music to be made that way, it just sounds better, it makes a lot of people more creative. I am already aware of the 60's music scene and have no problem with it and drugs have almost always been a part of the music scene.
Nothing wrong with drug references or sex references. There are some great songs referencing those things.
As for psychedelic rock I believe that is a genre that will take much longer than 20 years to die, if it ever does. That sort of genre is one almost anyone can get into, so I don't see it going away anytime soon. I rarely listen to metal anymore. I used to be a real metal head but I've calmed down quite a lot since then.
