Look, some people are just chilling, living they're life and then all the sudden BANG! They flip out and go into an insane asylum out of nowhere, right? Other people are chilling and all the sudden BOOM! They catch the Holy Ghost and become a religious fanatic. Other people all the sudden change and do other things right? Well for me and Shaggy, we were just chilling when all the sudden our souls jumped into the Dark Carnival. I've never had a purpose in my life until then. It didn't matter it I was here or not. I was nothing more than a grain of sand on a big ass beach. I was just another hair on a fat gorilla's ass. Ever since the Carnival, now feel like I have a purpose. I have a reason to be here, fuck that I don't feel like that, I know that shit. The Dark Carnival's messages are in our lyrics. It's almost like all our lyrics are in code to the whole world. Nobody really hears what we're saying except for the Juggalos. They hear us. They know exactly what we're saying. Only a special open minded, street mutha fuckin' Juggalo can hear The Dark Carnival speaking to him threw our music. The Critics, the magazines, MTV and other bands.. Yeah they still hate us, but that's just because they don't understand us. They can't hear what we're really saying. So to them we just suck. They're not listening for it so they'll never hear it. That's fine. Fuck them. I Could give two fucks and a bitch slap what they think about Insane Clown Posse. The Dark Carnival preaches to everyone in many different ways. Me and Shaggy are just one of it's ways to reach people. For example, even an old lady that plays Bingo every weekend will eventually hear the words of the Dark Carnival only it will be through a different outlet. Something that interests her will give her the message. Weather or not she acts upon it is up to her. What ever this force is, it reaches us all, whether you heed its warnings or not is your own choice.

The Dark Carnival is a pseydo religion that Juggalette/lo's follow.
It consists of the eight jokers cards, and listening to the preachings of the ICP & the all the other Psychopathic boys
Real Juggalette's & Juggalo's follow The Dark Carnival, and are down with the clown, for life.

The Dark Carnival is a concept from the Joker's Card series of albums by the Insane Clown Posse. It serves as a metaphor for God, who judges the dead and sends them to Shangri-La (a metaphor for Heaven) or Hell's Pit (Hell). The descriptions of the Dark Carnival given in the songs are supposed to be horrifying to the wicked, but hold no threat to the repentant and the pure of heart.

The Dark Carnival can be used to refer to any surreal allegory of the judgement of man, but properly used refers specifically to the ICP's metaphor, and is only commonly used among juggalos.
Damn, man, you ever read The Divine Comedy? That's some serious Dark Carnival shit there.
