Yep.

I come from Chicago, and the whole candy/kandy/kandi thing is definitely struggling. When I started partying here in '99, the whole style was at its peak. EVERYBODY wore the bracelets and the fuzzy clothes, no matter how macho or 'hardcore' everybody thought they were. In fact, the more you wore, the cooler people thought you were. At my most candied-out party, I wore 164 bracelets, 6 necklaces, the teletubby backpack (and even my backpack was wearing 15 or so bracelets) and then the clothes. It was like the uniform. It itched really badly, and I could barely dance in it, but I loved it anyway. Eventually, it just sort of began to fizzle with the scene here. The older kids thought that all of the attention the candykids were bringing to themselves and the parties was bad for the scene. And they may have been right, because the media attention certainly didn't do anybody any good here. Nowadays, in Chicago at least, the candykids are scowled at, laughed at. If you admit you like happy hardcore, you're likely to be laughed at as well. It doesn't get played at parties. Generally, the darker and less cheesy your favorite genre of music is, the more respect you get. It's sad, I know, but it's true. I think a lot of kids here still have a place in their hearts for it, but they just don't want to admit it because people aren't as warm and friendly as they used to be. I fell out of the scene in 2000 and only recently resurfaced to assess the damage. When I looked into the Hullabaloo things, I was very pleased to see that kids SOMEWHERE were still doing things on a big scale and in a happy spirit. I wish Chicago could be reborn. I've never come up for a Hulla but I hope to soon. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to get enough $ together to come up for Pacific Sun, but I'm shooting for April.

once upon a time, after a giant storm, a rainbow appeared in the sky. out of the rainbow fell the first ever candykid. they had a big giant bag of crap to give out to people. when people got these special things from the first candykid, they began to emulate him and pass on the all the little things that make people happy at raves.















HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA

I can't say when the whole candy thing started but I do recall that at Hulla 3 (November 1997) people started to show me the outfits they were making for the party and by the time our 1 year funtopia party rolled around june 1998 it seemed the whole party was dressed in candy so it came on fast.

kandi started a LOOOOONG time ago..

i remember watching a 20/20 report.. or something like that on it way back in the early 90's.. like 93 or so. apparently, it first started as a way for people to recognize dealers, and then people just started making it and trading from there.

but, you can never tell how much validity a report like that has to it.. though i have heard that from several of my friends back in ohio who would've been too young to remember that broadcast, which leads me to believe that it's quite possibly the truth.

I recieved my first peice of candy just over ten years ago and to this day i still create and trade with all that i meet. Candy will not die it has been a way to rember those who you meet and what you celebrated that night. After all these years i still have special pieces that i wear to smile of the good times. People will always leave a mark on you when you meet them its just a matter of will it be neon and shiny.
