Korkotuloille

Korkotuloille is a term used in Finnish to describe a phenomenon where individuals, typically young people, engage in excessive and often reckless behavior, often driven by a desire to prove their status or popularity. This behavior can include activities such as drinking alcohol excessively, taking drugs, engaging in risky sexual behavior, and participating in dangerous sports or activities. The term is often associated with a culture of hedonism and a disregard for personal safety and well-being.

The roots of korkotuloille can be traced back to the 1990s and early 2000s, when a group of young people, often referred to as "korkotulot" or "korkotulotytöt" (korkotuloille girls), began to emerge in Finnish society. These individuals were characterized by their bold and often provocative behavior, which they used to gain attention and popularity. Over time, the term korkotuloille came to be associated with a broader culture of reckless behavior and a disregard for personal safety and well-being.

While korkotuloille has been the subject of much debate and criticism, it is important to note that not all young people engage in this behavior, and not all young people who do engage in it are necessarily reckless or dangerous. Moreover, korkotuloille is not a monolithic phenomenon, and there is significant variation in the behaviors and attitudes of individuals who identify with this term. Despite this, korkotuloille remains a significant and controversial topic in Finnish society, and continues to be the subject of much debate and discussion.
