ok Justice I got. Digitalism you like? I love! boring live, but really danceable. and Goldfrapp I have remixes of, but I never listened to the regular sound. Hm I'll have to check it out! Peaches? ok, on the list too!!



Sounds about right...... for the most part. Unless you were cool and didn't need that. I did the candy thing for a few months, but it was really just oversized pants and cute tshirts (like I basically wear now, only a bit more "older"). I use to make bracelets to hand out to kids at the door...lol I once wore my whole gear to a family function (um, can you say- not with it?) and that's sad because that was the last family photo we have before my uncle died... and there's me decked out in candy gear... lame! embarassing. I was 19. whatever. lol

ok that's it, next post- I'll find a pic online stored somewhere (purerave, for the win! ever been on it noonie? I still am !LOL!) be right back. haha

Don't tell me I didn't warn you about peaches!!!

I don't have any of those old pics on this computer. I think this was back in the day before digital cameras!!!! I'm safe! LOL

[DerbyLayne]

Ok there are some oldies (really BAD oldies!) from a disposeable that I have stored somewhere. I have a lot of pics in a winnie the pooh lunchbox (buhhaha!!) i kindly stored FAR FAR Away. LOL All my pics are pre-digital too. not the best quality, and at least they're not incriminating. they're silly, but they'll do.

Ok here we are.

1. Me as a candykid decked out in funfur some trance/jungle party, before kids started going practically naked lol

2. Me in those bright blue 60 INCH! phat pants before a Jungle party

3. Some booty house party when I just went as myself. jean style phat pants, t-shirt, and hat

To be honest, I'm wearing a newer version of phat pants as we speak. I think they are so comfy. lol

[capt_noonie]

LOL! I was totally into winne the pooh!!! I had a tigger backpack that I would bring with me all the time! I seriously don't think I have any pics. I used to keep them in photo albums but I have moved so many times since those days, I'm sure they are long gone!

But I know what you mean, the clothing styles have changed sooo much! So funny sometimes people would think guys were wearing skirts bc the raver pants were so big!

Wild yes, and it was definitely an experience I'm glad I went through. I still love dancing my heart out to this day, and I'm glad that I was able to experience it. I'm not happy about some the choices my friends and I made, but we were young then. Everyone does stupid stuff when you're younger, in some form.

My mom wasn't stupid, but she was a big hippie so I'm sure she wasn't expecting innocence from me either. She always told me to be responsible, to know my limits, and to have fun. I defnitely had fun, and what's sad is the funerals I had to attend in the last few years where people we knew never stopped "the party". Addictions took over, and I feel sad in that way. I experimented, but that's as far as it went.

I can still go out and listen to that music now and dance just as a hard.

[capt_noonie]

Ohh, sad... I'm sorry to hear. I didn't and still don't have a large group of friends so I personally haven't ever had to go through anything like that. I don't think my parents knew what was going on, but I am proud to say I still got straight a's my senior year of high school. I still have no idea how I did that!

I'm more into old school rock of all types....psychedelic, prog, blues...you name it. I love concerts and have been to hundreds...love the road trips. I still try to find newer music to my liking and there's some good stuff out there. For newer stuff (relatively speaking), I like the Black Crowes and other roots rock.

Here's a bit of trivia for ya'. Back in the '60s, some shows in England were referred to as rave ups. The Yardbirds had an album out back then called "Having A Rave Up". Totally different music, though.

I hitched a ride to a concert once. Cant do that anymore.

Oh, back in the day (before Ticketmaster), we would hitch-hike to New Orleans to get tickets, then hitch back home. Then, usually we would get a ride somehow to the concert. I still have old ticket stubs from those days. The prices were so low then. I saw Zeppelin for $5, Pink Floyd for $7. Ten bucks was a night out for us. Then, in the 80's, we got into seeing shows in Houston. We'd rent a Caddie, drive over...get a room....make a weekend of it. I still go to concerts, but not as often. My last one was Yes back in '08

[Britster]

I think i'm too YOUNG to know what you're talking about... I'm like so confused right now lol. I am 19, almost 20 years old. So I was born in '90 haha.

But since you're talking about music... I was a totally 90's pop music chick girl. Backstreet Boys were my life, lol. My room was covered in posters, you couldn't even tell the color wall. I'll have to find old pics. I ended up becoming somewhat 'friends' with the BSB in 2008 and it was sooo strange after growing up with them. They are really cool great guys and I will hopefully be seeing them atleast once this year. But even though BSB was always my #1... all the pop stuff was what I listened to. I still listen to primarily pop. I've never been a rocker chick, or an emo, or anything. I went thru my "ghetto" stage in middle school where I was always wearing Echo and Timberland and stuff and listened to a bunch of rap. hahaha. Middle school was my bad time, I was always mouthing off to teachers and getting in trouble, and I got really bad grades and missed a ton of school.

But I was never a wild child! I think because my family has always been pretty wild, my uncles are still huge partyers, my whole family is! They like to have fun! And I love having a family that will stay up and party til 3am, but I think since it was so normal to me and I grew up like that, now me being almost 20 could care less. I've been in like every bar in my area atleast once and i'm not even 21 yet! I don't drink often, I've never even tried drugs, I tried to smoke a cigarette once and HATED it, same with cigar, I didn't even KNOW how to smoke it, lmao. Junior year of HS my little 5 year old brother died and kinda made my life turnaround for the worse and after that, I just didn't care about highschool stuff, I didn't even go to prom or anything. So unfortunately (or fortunately?) I won't have too many wild stories to tell my children someday...

[TLC]

Oh Yeah....

1996 to 2001 in NYC - I still LOVE House Music, makes me so happy to remember the 'candy days' hahahaha
