If the girl I'm with wants to dance, I'll dance. Otherwise I'm a headbobber/foottapper.

I have a seen a black person twice. Once they got over the amazement of thousands of white people trying to dance to drug music, they seemed to enjoy it. I'm sure it was an experience for them

Also had a black girl come up and tried to run her fingers through my hair and I wigged out and got out of there pronto.

I wasted 45 minutes of my life today going down an internet rabbit hole learning about "wooks".

In the end, I feel bad for them. I think real wooks (not the trustafundarian kind) are probably very seriously tormented and mentally ill.

Oh yea I'm sure some of those ones are mentally ill. But, to be fair, going on tour is one of the few places they can be 'accepted' so maybe it's not a bad deal overall for them. Plus there's always someone that needs drugs and grilled cheese.

Staff at the venues are usually black. They are usually having a good time and enjoy working these shows.

I waytched a video of a wook who decided to get clean. He went to a barber shop to get his dread hat cut off. And the only way to do it is to shave it all off right at the scalp. The whole thing comes off in one piece like a snap-on wook helmet.

When it was done, the barber picked the whole dread helmet up with the very end tips of his thumb and indexfinger like he was picking up a terd. I feel sick and nauseous again now just typing about it..

Until today in this thread, I had never even heard the term Wook either, but knew immediately what TM was talking about earlier. They truly are nasty people. I've known several of them. I just called them dirty hippies. But Wook is a great name for them.

TM, when did the term Wook start?

I honestly have no idea. That's just what I've always heard them called at shows. I know there was a w00k.org site around 02 I believe that categorized them and that's where the above picture we've been using came from. He was the 17th picture on there so everyone knew him as Wook #17.

I need to do some research on this one.

We're over a decade lateon this thing. The relentless photoshops started on a Ween message board in the earily 2000's. And Wook #17 actually hired lawyers at one point.

At another point, he tried spreading the message that he was dead so people would stop looking for him and asking to take pictures with him at shows.

We must've read some of the same stuff today. You can really dig into this stuff if you try

There's such a weird subculture to some of this. Especially when you start reading about the Grateful Dead Family or the Nitrous Mafia.

I did the same thing.....I never realized how normal and boring my life is.

i think you're right. A lot of these people are part of that young homeless culture that wanders around. Knew a guy from high school who got addicted and went that route. He's basically a long haired homeless nomad who does god knows what to make it. Came from a normal family too and was on the HS football team. Just got strung out and lost it.
