Why is it called Kandi?
History. The term ‘kandi’ may come from the phrase ‘candy necklace’; when pronounced out loud, kandi and candy sound the same. They started appearing in the early 1990s South California Rave scene. In the past, Kandi bracelets were sometimes used to signal the availability of drugs. However, that practice has largely been abandoned, and the meaning of Kandi has evolved significantly over time. Nowadays, Kandi is synonymous with the principles of Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect (PLUR) within the rave community.
Why is kandi so popular?
Some sources suggest that kandi originated as a means for individuals to signal the availability of drugs at raves. However, kandi’s visual appeal led to its widespread adoption, regardless of drug use. The colorful pony bead jewelry became a symbol of the rave community. They have evolved and within the modern rave scene, Kandi bracelets are not directly associated with drug use and are no longer used to identify a drug dealer. As these bracelets became more popular a new subculture of Kandi bracelet wearers emerged, the Kandi Kids.
