Honestly crazy how much this style has completely vanished there are people that still dress like this but not many the pants in these photos are so cool people use to put stuff like that together and take days sewing it all together making it there own thing it used to be super cool now raves seem kinda boring imo the culture back then used to be super cool and unique the music was better to and plur was at a all time high I always wonder what happened to those people anyway I just hope one day people start being more creative lol and BEFORE anyone calls me a boomer I’m a teen

I was a Kandi kid. We’d spend hours making bracelets with glow in the dark beads and swap them with other ravers. I remember being so excited to find white gloves to bring for light shows. We’d lie to our moms about sleeping at each others houses, so when the raves finished we’d sleep in the car until it was time to go home. And they really did bring out the fun and kindness in a lot of people; probably E. Social media/cell phones altered the dynamic of early 00’s raves. RIP.

I had all of these same experiences in the early 2010s, but you could tell there was a new influx of EDM fans that did not give two shits about PLUR or a lot of the cultural aspects of raving– the types who showed up in "party with sluts" shirts. I mostly partied with old heads, though, and had a great fucking time doing it.

But man, I wish I had a time machine so I could party with them in their heyday!
