Opinion on people who are too young to get into raves wearing kandi?

All the events near me are 21+ so I'm too young to get into them but I make and wear kandi a lot. Just curious of your opinions. c:

It's not kandi till it's been to raves, is what I was told before, and so it's called bead jewelry, I would say you just have to wait, or get friends that bead make also and make a rave at ur house...

You'll get a lot of mixed opinions on this, but I believe people who don't rave can make kandi (or beaded creations, whatever floats your boat) to their liking, as long as they understand what kandi and the rave culture is. I know of people around my town who make kandi, but they think the rave culture is stupid and pointless. So I don't see their pieces as kandi, but as beaded jewelry instead. Bottom line is you're cool with me for making kandi, whether you are able to rave or not. It's nobody else's business to tell you what to call your kandi, or yourself just because you don't/can't rave yet. c:

Yeah, kinda like what Necromanced said. It shouldn't matter your age, because you may be legally 17, but act 25, you know? As long as you follow plur, and don't act like a... I guess a brat? Usually though you can go to raves at Anime Conventions, those should be all ages :3

I feel you CAN be a kandi kid wether you rave or not. There are SO MANY kandi kids who CAN'T rave (Not old enough, None around them, Parents wont let them, etc...) And it's not fare because of this. My opinion is you're a kandi kid, or a raver.

I think if you enjoy making Kandi and respect and live by P.L.U.R it doesnt matter if you rave or not. I'm too young to rave too. So youre not alone

Kandi isnt just for raves... Its to bring people together... And frankly if a child is making them then good considering pony beads and perler beads are made specifically for kids. We just adopted it as our own. Whenever i see a little kid i pull a piece off my arm and give it to them in hopes one day they'll know what it is and do the same. Age doesnt matter.

You're definitely not a "raver"(I really hate this term) until you've been to at least three raves in my opinion. But I guess pretty much anyone can be a kandi kid as long as you follow PLUR. I personally love to rave, but I always label myself as a kandi kid. Kandi and raves are like ying and yang. They can't be without each other. I personally think people who make kandi but say "Raves are stupid" are NOT kandi kids. That doesn't mean you have to rave to be a kandi kid. If you can't, for whatever reason, but still respect the rave scene, you are a kandi kid.

I'm a non raver myself (I can't go for medical reasons) I personally don't see anything wrong with people who are too young to go to raves who make kandi, you're just not considered a raver.

Well, I am the same way! I can't go for health reasons and I'm not old enough.

But I think its fine! You are not a "raver", you are a kandikid.
