Despite roots in the word "independant", indie has become anything but that. Being indie now involves listening to music that is top of the chart and so mainstream it is actually impossible to enjoy eg. snow patrol, arctic monkeys, and wearing clothes and hair exactly the same as the person walking alongside them, whatever their gender may be. Strangely, clothes, hair and music is now extremely similar to emo, only less black. Being indie commonly involves worshipping NME like it is holy scripture, again reducing their once independant status to mindless sheep.
Indie kid: "Man I've just heard the new Arctic Monkeys single, it's great how they understand and manage to emphasise the chav culture whilst pushing fun at it"
Anyone else: Shut up.

Complete distaste for any style or clothing, these melancholy creatures are the kids that couldn't seem to find a place for themselves or develop a tasteful outfit. In result, they thought it would be a good idea to visit the opposite side of the spectrum and wear lumber jack plaid, nut-hugging jeans, and off-the-wall vans (In which none of the colors of each article compliment any of the others i.e.: Maroon & Lime Green & Faded Hot Purple ) in compensation. Sadly they are a mistaken bunch and do not realize how ridiculous it looks when an indie couple are walking down the street and the male's crack is swallowing those jeans even more than his girlfriend. Also, Indie IS NOT A GENRE OF MUSIC.
Indie Male: " do these jeans show my balls enough"
Indie Female: "Well, can you see the wrinkles and hairs on your testicles?"
Indie Male: "Kinda..."
Indie Female: "Go two sizes smaller"

Indie = independent (usually rock-orientated) music
Indie rock = full one oneself (at least quite often)
To "be cool" with the other indie rock folks, I must have an extensive record collection with minimal well-known rock titles, have a working turntable and plenty of vinyl to go with it, easily dismiss others, think I'm better, over analyze others, and overall have an attitude that makes people not want to associate with the scene. ... nice job, everyone. nice job

Closed-minded kids who know more about obscure garage bands than who won the World Series or NCAA championship last year. These people stick to their own clichΓ©s and rarely participate in sports, work out or exercise, hang out at clubs, or listen to anything with musical talent. Indie dudes become English teachers and corrupt young minds with liberal propaganda, while indie chicks usually become art teachers b/c of their irrelevant academic concentrations. Indie kids usually are very pale as they like the emoish white skin weird clothes look.
Indie kid: "what are you listening to? it's horrible!"
Normie: "umm its the Rolling Stones"
Indie kid: "well im off to philosophy club then off to the diner to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes and discuss City of the Caterpillarβs song meanings."
Normie: "I'll be at my frat house till late"
Indie kid: "I feel uncomfortable in those places"
