Namesake
After starting as the OFWGKTA Carnival, the festival would soon adopt the name Camp Flog Gnaw. Camp Flog Gnaw was originally the title of the Odd Future tour the initial 2012 carnival was part of, but would become best known as the fictional camp Tyler, The Creator's 2013 concept album Wolf takes place on. Starting in 2013, the carnival would be called Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival with the Odd Future titling being phased out by 2015.In a 2023 interview with Nardwuar, Tyler explained that the Flog Gnaw title came to be when he was designing a seal for a fictional camp inspired by a series of "Summer Camp Mixes" he had put together. The name itself, described by Tyler "is just Golf Wang backwards, which is just Wolf Gang with the 2 first letters switched."
