 Coolness: 35345 | During his first trip to Canada, Matt Boom from Holland made a good point about ravers in north america. "They all pretty much look the same over here. There's actually nobody who's really original. Its wall to wall phat pant and kids toys. "
Man, its like 7-8 years since Matt's first trip. And very little has changed as far as stile. EVOLVE........ |

 Coolness: 159100 | Ça c'est nice Toltech. J'ai immensément plus de respect pour les gens ouverts d'esprit que les gens bornés, entêtés et ignorants. Dans le cadre de mon emploi, je vois rarement de gens de la première catégorie. |

| Coolness: 50630 | moi chuis d'accord avec Kimochi sur l'idée d'être candy. Et je crois qu'en étant tous des ravers de différents style on devrait se soutenir...vous savez ''unity''... et essayer de se comprendre au lieu de juger les autres par leurs choix vestimentaires. Tout le monde a son style...et en quelque part on est tous des marginaux qui veulent sortir de la masse.
À chacun sa façon de se différencier, à chacun sa façon de s'exprimer, à chacun sa façon de s'habiller. Pour revenir au sujet de départ, les anciens candy sont bien souvent les pires ''anti-candy'', tout comme les anciens fûmeurs sont les pires ''anti-fûmée''...my personal opinion. |

| Coolness: 144875 | Seriously, I don't think that people diss candy ravers for being happy and open minded. They diss em cause a lot of candy kids take too much drugs, cause drama on mondays, and annoy some people at raves by being to high. This isn't true in every case, of course, and I know a lot of candy kids who just don't do drugs.
There's also the "let's get drunk and be a junglist" phase that was mentioned earlier, a lot of old candy kids, including me, went through that phase. This is when a lot of people try to get away from the "plur" phase as much as possible and start dissing candy kids. When they grow out of it, they stopped dissing candy kids. Personnally, I don't have anything against it. I do make fun of it a little bit as a joke. (and I've never seen anyone offended by it) We also gotta admit that in Montreal, it's cool to be jaded. |

Well see the problem I have with that is I see a shitload more clubbers a hell of a lot more high than most candy kids out there. In any given afterhours of massive events à la Swirl or Cream, you see these seemingly ordinarely dressed people popping 3Es and 2 speeds and toking like mofo' mad. Yet because they LOOK ORDINARY, they fly under the radar. Personally, I prefer 1000 times better to be annoyed by high candy kids asking for massages than having to deal with arrogant Acura-driving Lavalites on speed. You know, the kind that walks a straight line to the bathroom, pushing, shoving and almost knocking people over along the way.

We also gotta admit that in Montreal, it's cool to be jaded. Again, I don't mind joking about it. Not sure if " if I see candy kids, I wanna run them over with my car and backup to make sure I got 'em right " kind of comment coming from an ex-candy kid. Be a pompous elitist alcoholic jungalist for all I care, just don't diss people who have fun differently then you do. Because a shitload of people make fun of drunken jungalists ( but you don't care when you're drunk ). The problem lies in the fact that it seems to be too hard for human beings to remain open-minded on an extended period of time. Most people force themselves to accept and love everyone as a candy kid then, as soon as they grow out of it, they revert back to being close-minded like they were thought to be by their parents and society in general. Acceptance is a hard thing to have for a lot of people. But that's no excuse to disrespect people different than you. Funny how jungalists hear the word " RESPEKT " on about 50% of the tracks they listen to but yet, very few of them seem to know what it's about. Again, I'm not saying they are ALL like that, by all means. |

 Coolness: 38145 | Back in the day, ravers WERE candy, They dressed in fun-fur and phat-pants and billions of bracelets and sparkles and big clunky chains and any other accessory that could enhance the moment. If you were a regular, you were in - you danced to the music and wore the clothes, it all went hand in hand. Everybody did it so there were all these sub-classes of funfur-laden bracelet-wearing kids including the whole lot : gushing e-tards, turbo-never-stop-dancers, the elite inner social crew, the club kids, the drug dealers, the hardcores, the djs, promoters, whatever. If you went to parties you dresssed in this stuff or you just weren't a part of it, you were some odd kid who ended up there by mistake - and that's that. You could have a mean-looking dark coloured phat-panter that would intimidate the helll outof you but they were still toting the bracelets like everyone else.The "candy kids" now are shameful copycat poseurs trying to replicate the style we rocked in the good old days - but they are just cheap pitiful knock-offs and don't pull it off (you missed it, sorry) so they should stop doing it and leave our honourable candy history in its own place - back then. |

| Coolness: 144875 | I don't agree with that. Styles do evolve. Take the punks for example, today's punk are in no way like those from the 70s and 80s, but the movement is still quite strong. Older punks might diss it, but a lot of kids are still attracted to it. Of course, it's not as original as it used to be, but let's face it, every single fashion started as something unique and original, and then became kind of a "normality".
Today's candy kids are just copying what the oldschoolers did, I gotta agree with you on that, but isn't that true with EVERYTHING on the rave scene? In the end, it all comes down to what Pixelized said: being open-minded. |
