Kandi—brightly colorful beads melted or strung into wicked cool shapes and worn as accessories by members of rave and EDM (electronic dance music) culture.
These vibrant little accessories also carry a lot of meaning behind them—the kandi is part of the “PLUR” lifestyle, PLUR standing for Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. Followers of the PLUR lifestyle make kandi, and exchange their vibrant charms at festivals and shows as tokens of love, friendship, and respect.
