What Is Con Funk

The stench of unwashed con-goers. Because many con-goers cosplay every day in thick outfits – sometimes the same outfit every day – heat, sweat, and body odor easily builds at conventions. Some con-goers also sleep in their cars to avoid hotel room fees or are too busy partying to sleep at all; this leaves them with no access to or no time to use a shower. Con funk is present at every convention and can only be evaded by avoiding large crowds and carrying body spray at all times.
