Non-ravers with kandi?

Deleted Account 6/8/2012 04:48 am 6676

So, it may be odd to be on this site as I've never atteneded a rave, I live in England and you have to be 18+ or 16+, I do want to go to a rave and I make things out of beads, usually for others and people say if you don't rave it isn't kandi? but other people have said if you understand the rave scene its okay to have a bit of kandi? So I was wondering on your opinions?

13+ years raving and making kandi and ill just say this, kandi is rave culture end of story (not being mean or anything) but i say this cause u cant truly understand the mean and power of it till u have been to a few raves, experienced the culture, become part of a rave family. thats when it truly clicks and the world becomes open to u ^.^

Well as far as non-ravers WEARING kandi, you don't know where they got it. My boyfriend's younger sister just started high school this year, and she went to some kind of orientation kind of thing for the school and met a girl there that really liked her, and she happened to be a kandi kid, she gave her a necklace and now she wears it all the time. I've even considered making her kandi before since she's so nice to me. Even if she started making it herself, since she's also quite into crafts, I wouldn't see anything wrong with it. If a kandi kid has given kandi to a non raver, I don't see why they shouldn't be able wear it~

It doesnt matter to me. As long as you are being true to yourself and not putting on a front. I myself dont rave cuz I'm not old enough, but kandi helps me express myself. It brings my imaginton and creativity to life. I dont think it matters if you go to raves or not, it only matters if you are using your creativity to your advantage ady to show who you on th inside on the outside.

I started by stumbling into a rave in old town Fort Collins. I loved it, but felt kind of out of place and like I was missing a big part of the fun. Here I am, a Kandi maker who goes to maybe a show every 2 months, but it's a constant reminder that the PLUR community is one that can carry love all throughout life.

(Personally) You can call it kandi but just don't call yourself a raver if that's not what you are/do. A lot of people are understanding that its hard to get into raves now because you have to be 18+ so they are a bit more accepting when it comes to people/kids who aren't ravers

As long as you don't call yourself a raver when you're not, there's nothing wrong with it. Kandi is a way to express yourself and new found friendships, as long as you aren't making it for the wrong reasons there's nothing wrong with it.

Exactly what everyone says as long as you know the culture of the scene and what kandi is all about and plur it shouldn't matter. Bythe wway you can find rave almost everywhere!

you just have to look sure they might not be in your town but there could be one that's an hour away or even 15 minutes from where you live

Not that I can really talk, I've only been to two raves. Both of which were at Otakon. :c I just live in a god awful place with absolutely nothing around. But anyway... I have a non-raver friend who wears/makes kandi. As soon as a rave pops up nearby, he said he'd certainly go. But, like a lot of others have said, if you know and respect the culture, then that's absolutely fine.

I have not been to a rave yet myself, cuz my parents suck lol. but as long as you dont just think of it as beads, because kandi has meaning to lots of people. its only kandi if you make it as kandi. you dont have to go to a rave for it to be kandi
