Non-ravers with kandi?

Deleted Account 6/8/2012 04:48 am 6709

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?

I agree with everyone here~ ^u^ I don't have the opportunity to go to a rave (I'm old enough, I just don't live where there's raves going on ), but I admire kandi SO much! I started making "pony bead jewelry" a few years ago before I knew that what I was making was pretty much kandi. OuO The pieces I made had alot of meaning into them though. When I learned what kandi was all about, it made me like it more~ So I think as long as people put love into their bead creations, then it's okay whether you've been to a rave or not. Not everyone has that opportunity, but for the ones who do, then that's cool. :3

I'm not a raver...but I live in a place with NO rave scene...I love making kandi and when I move away I will start raving, I love the culture and I have friends that do rave. I make kandi as more of an art and I love making awesome stuff to trade with people. I don't call myself a kandi kid...I'm justr a person who loves to make and wear kandi...but not cause it looks cool...but cause it's a good feeling to have jewelry to wear that you put the effort into making or that a friend put effort into making rather than getting popular store bought shitty stuff.

i see a ton of non-ravers with kandi on, which is iffy for me. it's almost like if you respect the culture and wear kandi, i'm fine with it.. but when you wear kandi and diss ravers, i'm putting you on my sh!tlist. i had a friend who wasn't a raver, but wore kandi, almost constantly bad-mouthing ravers.. she had the balls to DEMAND that i make her kandi. (luckily, i didn't) and now that she knows i rave, and hate her guts for what she says, she will not shut up about what horrible people ravers are. ****i DO NOT think non-ravers are horrible people (unless they bad-mouth me, friends or the culture) and should be allowed to wear kandi.**** i have 2 "kids" in 6th grade (Katt & Mauss) who went to a local all ages rave. they came to their first rave with armloads of kandi. i respect them for knowing and respecting the rave culture before they even went to one.

"bi0technichazard": If you don't rave, it's still kandi TO AN EXTENT. If you're just wearing it to be cool or you don't know what it is/what PLURR is/what the culture is, it's just beads on a bracelet. The culture, PLURR, etc makes it kandi.

thanks bi0technichazard i understand raving cuz i know like 30 ravers and they've explained raving to me so i call it KANDI!!

also for the non-raver kandi makers...from wut iv seen they often make kandi for them self and sumtimes really close friends..so its more of a hobby vs. a lifestyle... kandi kids r a dying breed...often here were i am in the midwest...theres not alot of kandi kids at the raves...and most defiantly not much of the PLUR vibe..there is a hand full of us..and we quickly befriend one when we see them... one kid of kandi maker to watch out for is lolly-theifs..they will rarely make kandi them self and when ur back is turned take urs and just give it to some one else n say they made it..just so they fit in to "the scene..mostly bad scene kids..the druggies/party bitchz.. im 100% sober raver..im 25 years young..and iv been to over 130 raves in over 18 different states...i started going when i wus 13yo..been raving for 12 years..and im the first to admit that im not a know it all raver..i just give my opinion..dont take anythign i say to heart..just get out there and find out for yourself..

ima raver..but i know tons of kids who dont rave that are epic kandi makers...dosent matter...one of the best pony bead beaders i know is some 68 yo lady that i always run into at the crasftstores around town..she makes beautiful candle holders that are more complicated then some of the most epic huge cuffs on here..im quite she she isnt a raver..but in these days n age ..i could tottaly be wrong

but to answer ur question about if its not for a rave its not kandi...id have to say yes n no..(complicated isnt it) see kandi when u trade at a rave/event is most often made for a friend/people u meet...sumtimes its hard to remeber peoples names/faces and for me when i trade kandi with some one when i meet them at a rave..ill always remeber them with the kandi they gave me...then after u keep meeting people n seeign them at different shows..u start to make epic things for eachother as gifts.... and as for "kandi" in the non rave sense its more of a craft..
