hi, I've been making kandi for a while and wearing it because it helps me express myself through accessorizing. but 99% of kandi makers i know are ravers and kandi itself originated from raves. i respect raving, idc what you do as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, but I personally don't think I can stand them because of the extremely loud music and chaotic atmosphere. I also do not want to do uh... substances.


am I still allowed to make kandi even if I'm not a raver/never want to go to a rave?

absolutely!!

dont listen to some of the oldheads, there are surprisingly alot of elitist kandi kidz

i personally dont rave because my tics get bad around flashing lights and loud sounds, and i get overwhelmed easy which has caused tic attacks before

i think everyone should be valid regardless of whether or not they rave tbh

Yeah. Also not everyone who raves wears kandi.

Personally I enjoy smaller/local raves and making kandi.

ofc your still valid and allowed to make kandi even though you don't rave!!!

I Cant rave (due to me being underaged, and even so my parents would have my head on a stick if I went to a rave, but if I could i honestly would-)

Just some things are just not for some people and that's ok!! Raver & kandi Kid are different subcultures anyhow! And some ravers don't even wear Kandi!

So Ofc you can!! Besides, No one should tell you what you can or cant do 2! blue

Kandi kid and Raver are separate cultures. You can be both but not required.

I was a Raver and Kandi kid but I eventually realized I wasn't as into the rave scene as I was the style.
