Im not fully sure myself since im not emo, but from what i know kandi is still a part of both scene and the emo subculture. U may get confused for scene but from my knowledge of the early 2000s, most emos and scene kids wore what little they could get to DIY stuff like kandi was a common form of self expression. i think it'd be perfectly okay to wear bright kandi and still have an emo style!
Remember that your style is all up to u and u should do hatever makes u happy! Don't worry too much abt fitting into one specific box, just do wat u want, wear what u want, and be whoever makes u happy!! (also kandi star bracelets are super fun if u make pride ones, u should try it!)
Have fun and good luck with the kandi!1! I know you'll look great in it!!:3
