Fuckparade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuckparade 2006

The Fuckparade is an annual summer techno demonstration in Berlin.[1] The event began in 1997 as a demonstration against the increasing commercialisation of culture and public life and the misuse of the right of assembly by purely commercial ventures, in particular the Love Parade.[1][2][3] The event has had problems with the authorities since 2001, but in 2007 the Federal Administrative Court of Germany decided that it met the definition of a demonstration.[4]

The Techno Viking internet meme features a man wearing a Thor's hammer pendant dancing at the 2000 Fuckparade.[5]
