Strolling through the streets of New Orleans following a hurricane with the sole intent of collecting plastic bead necklaces from past Mardi Gras festivals that have been knocked from the trees by the storm

A custom which originated in New Orleans, but has traveled easily elsewhere, where a young woman displays her boobs (breasts) for Mardi Gras glass bead necklaces.

A big friggin carnival party that lasts one day in France, but lasts for several days here...The capitol of which is in New Orleans, Louisianna. The object is to collect the most extravagant bead necklaces and have fun.

THE GOOD: Parades, celebrations, and exotic costumes. Movie stars. Exotic masks & bead necklaces can cause, wild girls (drunk or sober) to flash their tits to ya in order to get em.

THE BAD: Rare occaisions that deal with pick-pocketers, thugs, drugs, and psychos running around with syringes filled with their HIV infected blood to randomly stab folks wit.

THE UGLY: Mardi Gras can have filthy streets and back allies.

Miss O'Muff is the biggest bellend of biology teachers and gets stressed to easily. Lottie and amiee and kirsty love to terrorize her in science and make songs about her muff coz she wears massive bead necklaces and says that a shrew has a bigger surface area than an elephant. Wot a dick

A Candy Kid is a Raver with such a positive vibe that he/she feel she needs to turn himself or herself inside out and wear this vibe. A Candy Kid is not a Candy Kid because of what he/she wears. A Candy Kid is a Candy Kid
because of what's inside. There is a huge amount of positive energy inside and usually the Candy Kid will not give a damn who is watching him/her and will run around the rave like he/she owns it or knows everybody there. There are ravers who are true Candy Kids, yet do not dress the part.

Not all Candy Kids do drugs. Like any other raver, drug usage varies from Kid to Kid. Some Candy Kids come to be high on the music alone.

Believe it or not, Candy Kids are not all gay, straight, or bi. The majority aren't anything at all. They just are themselves.

-they basically love to be unique and have the center of attention and they love to be as "unique" as possible, (while at the same time they are making themselves a clique,)

*not to be confused with emo, although the scene and emo defining line is not completely clear*

-they often have many hair colors at one time.short and spiky on one side, and long bangs on the other side.

---trends with "scene people" right now: strange fascination with dinosaurs and saying "rawr", childrens hair bows and headbands, plastic bright colored jewlry, leggings matched with vintage skirts and old shirts, messager bands with pins on the strap, plaid pants, long bead necklaces, sayings like " he's a cool kid.
