I don't know too much about Andrew WK's music or whatever he does these days, nor whether he's even a real person or a performance art piece, but that time he went to the gathering of the juggalos is probably one of the funniest non-scripted/non-staged sequence of events I've ever seen. If I didn't know gathering of the juggalos was a real thing, I'd have assumed this was an experimental piece of skit comedy.
Throughout his entire performance the crowd is throwing trash and beer bottles at him and screaming at him to suck shit, but he just ignores it and continues with his very ironically up beat intro to his song that sounds like some kind of supportive self help message. At one point, like a dozen people in the crowd work together to carry this gigantic garbage bin to throw at him, but at the last moment before it reaches the stage they eat shit and spill its contents all over themselves and everyone else in the front row. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUOvnbCtnVQ
He seems like a cool positive guy regardless of whatever he's doing to his image, but maybe that's just the character he's playing
I've also never figured out why the juggalos hated him so much
