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?

I’m pretty sure 99% of us don’t rave lol

Most people who I have seen make kandi now, do it for aesthetic purposes and don’t really rave at all (outside of maybe at conventions)

About what you said with it being too loud, I have to absolutely agree with that. While I am personally fine with concerts raves are just.. too much. Flashing lights can really bother me and mixed in with really loud music I think I would explode lo

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.

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!
