Formerly derogatory. Once used to describe the moochers and takers of festival culture. Now reclaimed to represent enlightened, loving, community-driven humans who show up with big hearts, bigger hugs, and a deep devotion to music and their people.
One who lives for spontaneous sends, last-minute ticket buys, hour+ drives after work, PLURR, and saying “I’ll sleep after the afters” with complete sincerity.

When a wook has been on festival tour, not showering, sleeping on the ground and acting as a garbage can for drugs and sexual partners, a virus cesspool begins to fester on them, particularly in the dread region of their body. Over the festival season, the viruses on them all grow and combine to develop into a super virus called the wook flu. When a normal concert goer comes into contact with it, they will become deathly ill around 3-4 days after the show. Typically, symptoms include the worst sore throat, aches and headache one has ever felt, which causes the infected person to be bed ridden for up to a week. The only cure is soup, Netflix and the strongest over the counter flu meds one can procure, but a trip to the doctor or emergency room to get antibiotics is not out of the question and is in fact quite common. Unfortunately, a wook flu cure has not been discovered yet, so please plan accordingly if you start feeling ill and have a more experienced concert goer on hand near by to help with your treatment shall you succumb to this terrible virus.

Get the Wook flu mug.A market place and individual vendors that follow around large music festivals or jam band tours. These individuals sell items, such as t-shirts, food, beer, and souvenirs to concert goers to support themselves while they travel around to various shows.

I was a a GIANT EDM music festival and instead of buying a Tame Impala T-Shirt at a licensed vendor, I bought one from some wook in the parking lot. I supported the wook economy!!
