Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest rolls in again and there they are on that field in Munich. Millions of them. The leather-pants people, the tourists, the college kids who think this is the pinnacle of experience. They come for overpriced beer and overpriced sausages and the chance to get completely fucked up in public without consequences.

Then they puke. A lot. Which is why someone started München kotzt—a website that just documents what actually happens at Oktoberfest. Not the heritage angle, not the tradition, just the endless record of people drinking past their limit and doing it anyway.

There’s something almost noble about refusing to pretend it’s anything else. Just: this is what we’re here to do. Get excessive. Lose control. Call it culture and move on.
