A growing social trend in the so-called “millenial” generation has taken advantage of many people’s fascination with cryptids in popular culture. More and more we see events centering around dressing up in costume of a particular mythological creature to gather in a fun-loving crowd which take part in various events, such as “zombie crawls,” in which participants shuffle between a number of bars on a given route dressed as members of the Undead in a new take on the traditional pub crawl. Others include events like “mermaid meet ups” which can range from small social gatherings to large-scale conventions for people who have their own swimmable mermaid tails.
