Kandi Kids, or Candy Ravers, can be found at almost any rave. Pictures of these ravers at Ultra 2013 show them adorned in their fishnets, furry boots, multi colored tutus, beaded bracelets and candy necklaces draped around their glittery necks.
As odd as it may seem, this bizarre fashion is truly a defining factor of the rave or EDM (electronic dance music) culture.
“There was a lot of skimpy clothing, neon colors and I went on St. Patty’s Day so there were a lot of green outfits too,” sophomore Gaby Dabah said. Dabah attended the first weekend of the Ultra Music Festival. “Girls wore mostly booty shorts with crop tops and comfortable shoes for all the dancing going on all day.”
Sophomore film major Mollie Putnam, who also attended this year’s festival, noticed similar trends. “There were endless amounts of neon, headbands, high-waisted shorts, fishnets and furry boots as an extreme,” Putnam said. “Camelbaks and fanny packs certainly have their place at music festivals, too.”
But instead of asking, “Where’s my clothing?” people asked, “Where is Molly?”
Countless stories have been collected of people taking various drugs and doing very odd things at Ultra in the past. One of the most popular stories is of the girl who got a tad bit frisky with a tree during last year’s festival–she took the term “tree hugger” to the next highest echelon. This year appeared to be just as wild as last year.
“My friend and I saw a man passed out on the ground who was blue, so that was frightening,” Dabah said. “There were also entertaining characters, like aliens walking around on stilts.” Perhaps “Fear and Loathing in Miami” would have been a more fitting title for the festival.
Amidst the ground-shattering bass drops, flashing lights, colorful clothing and stories catalyzed by drug use, it seems that the Ultra Music Festival had a major success for its 15th year in a row.
Where is Molly, you ask? Apparently in South Beach, Miami: home of the most colorful festival on earth.

In north eu people think jews have a very strange face, especially the nose is very bad-looking,kinda scythe-like they say, . They call it ” Ful nasa”. the word “ful” is pronounced like the english word “fuel”. i kind of feel sorry for them, but maybe its the testosterone.. i´ve heard it increases the tissues inside the nose, especially bone mass.
It´s intresting to note that the hebrew work “nasa” can mean both “to marry” and “to lift” and “to desire” among many other verbs..
