Kandy kid,kandy raver

[Lost_Boy]

in response to why its called kandi:
as you may know a side effect of ecstacy is clenching ones jaw and plastic beaded bracelets work in a pinch
they are also colourful
thus
kandi
-lost boy
ps i may not know what im talking about

[Kandi Krusher]

just like what the pacifiers is for. everything has a purpose i guess. all this kandi talk is giving me diabetes. Gabber up your ass and Bloody fist forever

[eissian]

i have never, fucking ever, seen someone nomming on their kandi bracelets. so i'm going to wager that you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

okay. i have nommed from time to time [ one of my favorite verbs btw]
but you could be right it could be totally made up by whoever told me
- lost boy

hey OP, have you ever been to a rave? just look around and figure it out for yourself.
yes, you can wear wide-leg pants and still be a raver and not be a kandi kid. you seem very confused.

kandi ravers are kandi kids. anyone who makes, wears and trades kandi is a kandi raver/kid. maybe kid refers to immature behavior, but almost everyone is embracing youth at raves...

kandi kids listen to all sorts of music and come in many varieties so trying to situate social definitions of something that has been evolving and is fluxing may not be very helpful in creating a clear picture, as it seems you are trying to create from all of these responses

i think all that really matters is either what someone says when you ask them if so and so is a kandi kid/raver or what someone says about themselves being a kandi kid/raver... not that anyone's account is proof of definition, but those are the realities that constitute the culture...

Wtf?

This thread has gone all noob-helping-noob.

Heh, wow.

[Olly Olly Oxen Free!]

Back in the day (and u still have a little bit of) you had the big ass top-hats, the mickey gloves, the backpacks, the gas masks (I mean the WWII gas masks, not a 10 cent dust mask), the oldschool bright ass Astro's jerseys or Tide shirts, the hot chicks in butterfly wings, etc...

...that somehow evolved into sweaty retarded looking topless idiots covered in bright beads from wrist to elbow, who are generaly ugly kids with deformities, runnning around hugging each other and sucking each others' nipples saying "plur this plur that, im a mogoloid; i like soft trance you can hear being played on the radio; hardcore scares me; blah blah blah"

So yes, some posers took an idea and ran with it to an extreme which killed it and (forget "kandy") turned the term "raver" into something most people think of as the kind of douche bag described in the second paragraph.

thanks guys!
