inside. A Candy Raver will have a huge amount of positive energy inside them and
will usually do whatever they feel like doing oblivious to what other people
think about it. They're the ones running around raves like they own it and
talking to people as if they have known them all their life. There are Candy

ecstacy dealers when the rave scene first began. The dealer would wear the style
and since they were bright and easy to spot, all the ravers would know that they
had ecstacy. Over time, the style caught on and began to be regular rave attire.
Do all Candy Ravers do drugs? No. Like any other person, drug
usage varies from raver to raver. You don't have to take drugs to be a Candy

makes you act like a kid and brings down fears. Some Candy Ravers come to be
high on the music alone.

Ravers are all over the place, but typically unite at a rave.
