An outsider's perspective:

Burning Man : Silicon Valley :: Gathering of the Juggalos : Rest of America.

[droopyEyelids]

Is the joke based on the idea that Juggalos are the dregs of society, and the dregs of Silicon Valley go to Burning Man?

Or do you mean it's a camping and music event for Silicon Valley?

(a further-outside-era perspective)

[euroclydon]

Let's put it in English: Burning Man is to Silicon Valley as a gathering of Juggalos is to the rest of America. He probably means there aren't a whole lot of influences that can be detected in either direction in either of those relationships, he's surprised at the line: "In the end, Burning Man has likely influenced the tech industry’s culture much more than the other way around."

Yes, except to add that the annual Gathering of the Juggalos is a single big event that people from around the country go to, not just something that happens when you get a bunch of juggali together in a single location.

So what beverage do SV burners prefer to be doused in at Burning Man, grass-fed butter and coconut oil infused coffee?
