The following list of Juggalo gang subsets is relative to the growing size of juggalo gang culture and juggalo gangs - in relation to the music subculture of the same name. The culture of Juggalo gangs differs depending on their regional alliances with other gangs, racial makeup, and ethnic identity.

Contents

Many juggalo gang names are references to lyrics made by Psychopathic Records signees. Various gangs named Juggalo Rydas Bitch (JRB) as well as Juggalo Riders/Ryders reference the Native American rapper Anybody Killa's song "Gang Related". Many of these gangs are not rooted in an all encompassing gang identity but rather the mythology and fandom of the subculture itself. Other rappers signed to the Psychopathic Records label have however reassured a significant juggalo gang identity such as the Blood-affiliated Axe Murder Boyz.

Many juggalo gangs are the result of the juggalo subculture merging with the gangs that exist locally, although commonly the Bloods or the Crips. These are also notably common on Native American reservations.

Other juggalo gangs are the result of caucasian/mixed-race juggalo members aligning with white peckerwood gangs within the prison system. This merging of the two gang subcultures in some areas has resulted in "nazi juggalo" gang members. Some of these "nazi juggalos" have been known to align with more organized white supremacist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan.
