This is a pretty facetious representation of their music--there's swearing but not more than all other sorts of rap, but you present it as if it's WAY more offensive.
A critical explanation of the music is here:

another form of tribal expression ,not unlike the dudes that liveand die and dress up for their teams. yeah,a form of expression,so all expression is valid,why caue' you ain't got no dance in your trance.....
The RZA had a(n excellent) horror-rap side project called the Gravediggaz from the mid-90s, which I love. ICP? No thanks...
So, did they ever figure out how magnets work?
I always thought they were closer to goths - bands like Nine Inch Nails and Type O neggative are dark with more violent undertones than the "weepy" Emmo (sp?) That said the entire thing scares me, I'm a peaceful hippy myself. Deadheads probably would have gotten bored and wandered away from the stage, while a few really stoned ones would have said "right on Tila, do your thing."
This is the kind of music you get from the most repressed parts of AmeriKKKa. Yeah, clowns all right.
Meth needs to fire his agent for this one!
Leave it to caucasians to take it to a demonic level...this is clearly not hip hop or rap. Please don't mention Jay Z again in the same sentence with these lame lunatics!
they are also crazy jesus freaks that don't believe in science. talent? how does that work?

Uh, they were throwing more than rocks. But hey, it's an Insane Clown Posse show. Don't condone it; however, not surprising. Why any promoter would put Tila Tequila (no talent) or Method Man (more talent than ICP) on the same stage with ICP is beyond me.
if this crap gains any sort of mainstream traction,the american experiment is over.
Seriously, John? Tila Tequila? Must be the slow news cycle.
