Kandi Kid Confessions

A place where you can confess anything relating to kandi or being a kandi kid, where you won't be shamed or teased or be given rude remarks. You can use the submit box, or the ask box on anon if you're not comfortable. Pictures we use are NOT ours unless otherwise stated. I'm going to start trying to give credit to the pictures (I had been using google images before, but am now using ones from Kandi Land.)

I must ask.. Is it a one time confession?? I really like the concept of your blog and I'd like to participate in a long term way, but I already sent a confession!! :-o GlowPsyLove

Nope! You can submit as many confessions as you like (within reason. Please don't spam me the same one 20 times :P)

is it okay to call yourself a kandi kid, even though u have never been 2 a rave?

Yes!Kandi kids are the kids that make Kandi. Not everyone who raves makes Kandi, and not everyone who makes Kandi raves! For the longest time I just made Kandi and didn't rave because I was introduced by a friend, but my parents didn't want me raving.

How do you approach someone to trade kandi and then how do you go about doing it? (I'm new to this whole thing and still trying to figure out how everything works)

Hi, future Kandi trader! I'm sorry it's taken so long to answer. What I usually do, is I go up to them and ask if they would like to trade. Then you do the plur handshake (peace signs, half a heart, put hands together, and then hold the other person's so you can trade the Kandi). People are usually very friendly about it. Remember to talk to your new friend and find out their name! You never know, you might become rave buddies with them.

so im fairly new to raves , been going to pretty much a couple raves a week , recently saw some bigger names like deadmau5 and skirllex.. so my question about kandi is , i find it very very diffacult to make a mask all i can make is a single braclet 1 row of beads haha. would it be looked down uppon / un proper if i purchased a kandi mask online or something ? there are some sweet ones.. cheeers !

Hi there anonymous! A lot of the kandi community looks down on people who buy and sell kandi. It's very controversial. But the way I see it, if you honestly can't learn something new and you have troubles with it, then go ahead and buy the mask. They are pretty tricky to make.But you can also try trading a plur package for a mask! There's a great Facebook group called Kandi Land, which has a trade group where lots are looking to trade Kandi. There's many experienced Kandi kids in there.

I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but please when you shorten the confession, can you please put the shortened confession in the caption. I know you work hard on this blog and you probably have a busy offline life (don't know another term for it) but if you're not so busy at one point could you please consider it?

Hi! I put the longer confession at the bottom so people know when their confession gets submitted. If it weren't for the fact that the whole confession sometimes doesn't fit, I would always put it word by word on the actual picture. I don't think I'm going to change that, so I'm sorry.

Is raving a good way to relieve loneliness??

Yes! You'll meet lots of new friends. So many people are overly friendly, it'll be easy to start chatting it up with someone.

do you have any advice for someone looking to get into the rave scene?

I'm not the best with rave advice - I've only gone to one. But I felt so at home. But here's what I've gathered from around groups and friends. (I'm giving advice mostly directed to females, because I am one)

 - Ease yourself into it. Start listening to EDM, and local artists (I have a few local DJs that are.. daaammn).  - You don't have to dress like everyone else - when I went to a rave, I wore my Tripps, a shirt, and kandi to trade. My friend wore a kandikini and a tutu. The other person with us wore booty shorts and a tank top. It's about what you feel comfortable in. You're comfortable in phats? Wear them. You're fine rocking pasties and panties? Do it! You like wearing shorts and a top? That's alright! Don't let ANYONE tell you that you shouldn't wear what you wear - it's your body. - Find a friend in your area that's in the scene, because it's really helpful. - Don't act like you already know everything. You'll be seen as a poser. It's okay to ask questions.  - NEVER rave alone, unless you're very into your local scene and know a lot about it.  - Always have a buddy to rave with, IT'S IMPORTANT. Especially if you take something, because you will need someone to watch you.  - Don't let one or two people ruin the scene for you. There may be a few buttholes, but that's how it is; there's tons of friendly - Do it for the music, not to look cool.  -ALWAYS DRINK WATER WHEN YOU RAVE!!!! It's very easy to become dehydrated - I was pissing brown because I didn't drink any water, it was bad. - Don't fake it. If you don't enjoy it, that's okay, it's not for everyone.- Follow PLURR (peace, love, unity, respect, and responsibility), if you think it's something you can do. Basically, just don't be an asshole. Don't go out of the way to be rude to someone. Don't hate someone because you don't agree with their beliefs. But don't go around calling people unplur, because it's pointless and only starts fights.

If anyone has anything to add, feel free! Either comment on this (I'll edit it to add it on), or shoot me a message (BUT BE SURE TO MENTION IT'S FOR THE ASK, not a confession, sometimes it's confusing to tell them apart).

"If I can never find a place to sit on a bus or in class or anywhere and I see someone with Kandi I’ll go sit with them because it’s been my experience that PLUR unites us. It’s great."

"I feel like people think I'm a 'scene kid' when I wear kandi, and I'm not because I know the meaning behind PLUR and everything.. Judgeful looks hurt."

ORIGINAL confession (shortened for length): "I hate that whenever I am at a rave with my kandi on, just because I’m having a good time and I’m wearing my kandi, people ask me if I have pills. No fucker, I don’t. In my experience, its mostly the little brats that snuck in that have the pills anyway. It’s just so frustrating."

"I don't know how to make anything more elaborate than a single, and I feel like my friends judge me because they can make these awesome epics."
