While many associate kandi with the modern festival era, its roots go back to the early 1990s. Legend has it that the term PLUR Peace, Love, Unity, Respect was coined by DJ Frankie Bones in 1993 after he broke up a fight during a set in the Bronx, shouting for the crowd to show some respect.Kandi became the physical manifestation of that motto. Originally, "kandi kids" were easily identified by their bright clothing and arms stacked with beads. Today, it serves as a way for ravers to identify one another as part of a shared, inclusive community. https://www.outdoll.com/
