For Kaskade's show on September 14th at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida, Kaskade went on a rant about the “not allowed” list for his event. Kaskade was frustrated that the venue decided to prohibit items from the rave culture, such as kandi, stuffed animals, glow sticks and other popular items.
Listen. This list of everything "not allowed" was never presented to me. It's something that's been generated within the last week.

Even though we've been percolating for 20+ years, + people think EDM is mainstream, not a lot has changed in the mind of The Machine.

It's still US vs. THEM

Crap articles like that one the @LATimes wrote, combined with highly publicized tragedies at our events create a perfect storm.

So this manufactured + false image of us as a bunch of drugged-out zombies w/pacifiers + dead eyes scares them. What can I say?

Taking away glow sticks, stuffed animals, + candy (*Kandi) makes them feel more in control. That seems to be the crux of the thing.
