[[Image:Candy Ravers.jpg|thumb|300px|right|An example of Candy Ravers]]
A '''candy raver''' (sometimes "kandy raver", "kandi raver", "Candee Child", "candykid", or "kandi kid") is a [[rave]] attendee who exchanges or shares small gifts, primarily [[bead]]s, [[necklace]]s, [[bracelet]]s, [[sticker]]s, or [[Methylenedioxymethamphetamine|candy]].



Candy ravers are most widely known (and sometimes identified) by their brightly coloured, often childish or even cartoony fashions, such as day-glo [[phat pants]], black light reactive or glow-in-the-dark gear, and t-shirts featuring cartoon characters. Almost all can be spotted wearing a large number of homemade bracelets of plastic beads, known as "kandy". The bracelets are often given as gifts to remember past raves and commemorate new friendships.

The second function of kandi is a gift that a raver will give or swap with new friends, and new ravers they have just met. In the rave culture of certain areas, this exchange will be performed by connecting fingers with the recipient of the gift and sliding it from their own arm to the other's.
