QUESTION!!! I've only been to ONE rave. What would you guys say? Would you count me as a "Kandi Kid"? Or No? I'm just curious tongue

There isn't a rave scene where i live and I'm not old enough to drive to any yet, next year when i get my license I'm gonna hopefully go to one. That being said i don't go around acting like i am such a raver. I hardly were my kandi, Last time i wore it i was going to a concert. If i were it people always ask about it and it gets irritating.

I live in probably one of the most active rave communties in America. And when I have the money, and the ride, I go. I undoubtedly call myself a kandi kid. Honestly, kids who call themselves ravers around here are... not. They don't hold any values to PLURR. Let alone, not very many wear kandi unless it's a venue rave. So to anyone who doesn't rave, and wears kandi, I don't mind it. Because I know(or at least, hope) that they hold the same values that I do about the scene, or just about life in general. The "ravers" here are hateful, rude, and unresponsible. So I don't care anymore who wears it and who doesn't, just as long as they keep PLURR in mind.

I love to make it and wear it, kandi is pretty much my passion. I have over 200 pieces. But my mom won't let me go and she's very controlling. And I also don't go around saying I'm some hardcore raver kandi kid. THAT pisses me off when people do that(x

Making kandi is more of a hobby for me. I have a condition that keeps me from raving but believe me...if I could rave I would. I don't call myself a raver because that's not cool. Thankfully though I live in a town where practically no one knows what kandi or raving is but if someone sees me wear it and asks me what it is I just say that it's pretty jewelry I made for myself. I honestly wouldn't mind not being allowed to call it kandi I just love making it and that's enough for me.

Age plays a really big part in it. My mom shudders at the thought of me going to a concert by myself, let alone going to a rave, and I don't blame her. But I still love making kandi (or whatever we call it since I don't rave -shrug-). I feel like this question borders on the stereotypical level, and I know you meant no harm by it. I just feel like it's saying, "How can you like Vans, and not go to Vans Warped Tour?" I know raves and Warped Tour are completely different, but it's along the same lines. Some people consider drugs to be a part of the rave culture. Does that mean if you don't do drugs at a rave, you aren't really raving? "PLURR" is part of the rave community as well, but I know plenty of people who believe in it and don't rave. Would that be the same thing as the kandi issue? Nonetheless, I respect you, and all other people who think the same as you do. (:

I make kandi but I can't rave yet. I'm to young. But I don't go around and call myself a raver or kandi kid. I just make kandi because it's more like a hobby right now. And I'll also have stuff for when I do rave. happy
