plur has nothing to do with kandi lol, came way b4 when it was p.l.u.e. but was adopted by the kandi community. and beads were around long b4 and will b long after raving but kandi is rave related lol and in all reality its deeper than beads, its about the friendship and community, dont need beads for that if u have the right mindset

I would like to attend one and see how it is but I don't think there are any even NEAR my area or in my city so its hard and if there were some near me, I would have to be older then I am.

I'm sure other people on this site plan to attend a rave in the future like me, but everyone has their own reasons of not being able to. I am aware that I can't change people's opinions, but since everyone is sharing theirs, I thought I'd do the same. I just hope no one was offended by this but I just wanted to express my personal belief. <3

I hope I don't sound rude but I seriously don't understand these type of questions. I totally respect the fact that kandi originated at raves and such, and the majority of kandi people rave, but do you really have to rave to make these beaded creations? Pony bead companies were originally aiming at little kids to make beaded creations, & it seems nearly crazy to most adults for an elementary school child to attend a rave, even if it's an underground one for all ages for some reason. I'm not saying that only younger kids can make "kandi". But honestly, when I was getting into, "kandi" I thought the original purpose was simply about PLUR, hardly the being-to-a-rave thing. But I guess there is a connection since you can make several friends at raves by trading. & when I (surprisingly) see people wearing kandi in my area, I usually assume it was given to them. I give beaded creations to my friends all the time & they don't rave because of my original thought of "kandi".

I dont understand why people still get mad over this. Yes its Kandi and yea its part of your culture but I dont understand why theres a need to not understand the non Raver Kandi kids. Thats mean to say ”dont call it Kandi if you dont rave” I rave or tleast have raved so I dont see why people cant undertand like me sad

i'm not a kandi kid in the least just an otaku who needed to express herself and i dont really know of any raves in the area i just call it kandi because i dident know what else to call it where i live aside from a con thats miles away theres no real raves all we have is prissy priss people who only care about looking hot and popularity also i work 30-37 hrs a week and i dont have vacation or sick time yet so i cant really go raving unless i want to miss work and not get paid i've been to a few anime conventions but i was too young to rave at the time so now its the fact of my location and my job that hinder me from raving
