i personanly like candi kids, they are colourful, and plurry and just fun to be around. i would like to see more around :)

i also dont understand why some ppl are so bitter towards them & parties now :( go to have fun and be with friends & meet ppl, not to be bitchy and judge ppl

so that's why you go to Seattle so much! hmmmm one day I'll make it down there, check out the vibe.

I think that they are adorable...As for the reason for dressing outlandishly, it is all about escaping your normal life for those 8 to 10 hours that you are partying. Hell, I rock a suit and tie at work but come my next party I am going to be throwing on my old saucer pants for one last time (I am retiring them). Sometimes it is just fun to dress and act a way you may normally not...Why do you think Halloween is still popular!

PLUR FOR EVERYONE

Its called growing up. Most of us realise we don't need to dressup to have fun. Alot of my friends dressed in candy along with me. Were still friends, same ol group of peeps minus the flashy colors and such.

We don't think were too cool, definetly not jaded at least complety haha. I can't speak for everyone but for myself I think the candy era was good times but its past.

makes a good point.

but if i may say;
if you look back in history, prety much every style of fashion has returned/had a rebirth is some way or other more then once, so perhaps one day the "candy-kid" style will return.

kenji i agree! candy was fun times, but that is definitely a past tense statement because you know.. to maintain such a goofy look.. haha :P

yeah right. i just can't do it anymore, growing up ain't easy but growing out of some things kinda helps. plus all you candy ravers wonder why no one takes you seriously!

good times. good memories.

Well ya this is true also, but like i relate candy kid style fashion in a sense to more of a scene than a look.

Back in 2001 and stuff candy was the big scene even the junglists wore bright colored ties and such.

Now its more of an urban, trendy time. Where most dress casually at the least. I see no reason why one should dress up to a rave any differently than you would if you were going to work or walking down the seawall in vancouver.

Would you walk down the seawall in phat pants and a soother.

The candy kid style has never died, its just the scene that came with it has pretty much gone into hiding and retreat. With each scene comes a different fashion sense.

I will give you that alot of candy kids are fun though.

Besides you don't have to be a candy kid to be plurry. Some of the pluriest/friendlies people i have met weren't much different that the local kid walking down to the 7-11.

LeeBrat · #37 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 05

^^thats true..ill have to agree with you :)

KenJi · #38 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 05

* note* i'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just stating what I believe t hats all. I just like to try and explain things in the easiest read possible.

decypher · #39 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 05

Once a style becomes overused, it becomes a uniform. Like dressing as a punk to make a "statement" when really all these teens are doing are conforming to another trend and using that as a foundation for seperating people into classes.

baby-phat · #40 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 05

hehe. I used to be what I like to call a 'flaming candy raver'... :D: and anybody who knew me anytime between 1997-2002 can attest (sp?) to that. lol
I still wear a piece or 2 now and then. and I have a lunch box full of candy in my closet. I guess part of the reason I don't dress like that anymore is cuz it took me longer to get ready when I was a candy kid than it ever has since. but I am still a friendly sunshiney candy kid at heart. heehee

I tend to wear a little bit of kandy whenever I'm at a party, and sometimes I go all out crazy-ass with my kandy wearing, but whatever. It is a costume, and it is a lot of fun sometimes. In my opinion, some places lend themselves to having crazy kandy kids jumping up and down like maniacs (Little Warehouse Parties full of Speed Garage, Hardcore Parties, KISS). At others, it's either pointless or too rediculous to be amusing.

As long as it isn't constantly overdone, it's all in good fun.

times are changing!! - amen!

baby-phat · #44 (**permalink**) Feb 21, 05

ih the past while I have gotten more into actual costume/dress-up than candy wearing. for example at Old School I went dressed up as a school girl. and for one love I was going to go dressed all in pink and white with wings.. :087:
