Tossichello Indie

Tossichello indie tossjk𝜀llo jndj, also defined as chill dude who likes to listen to indie music and to smoke joints quite often. But he’s not only this: he talks about geopolitics, or/and is a bit of an artist.
In his tastes we include rolling his own cigarettes, drinking cheap bear and going to contemporary exibitions that no one understands.
It's a vibe, so you cannot learn it. (Aka intrinsic vibe)

“Hey look at that dude with long hair in a bun! He must be a tossichello indie”

Landfill Indie

UK phrase referring to the amount of generic guitar based bands. It is characterised by:
* complete lack of rhythmic invention
* weedy vocals
* utter self-absorption
* million of songs about nothing but how *weird* the world is
* having gone on about twenty five years too long.

Credit also goes to Andrew Harrison at Word Magazine for coining the term "landfill indie"

Friend: "Ahh who is playing glastonbury this year?"

Me: "Some Landfill indie bands!"

Friend: "Like who?"

Me: "Scouting for girls, the kooks, the ting tings bands like that"

indie-vasion

When a party has been overwhelmed by indie music (boring crap) when there should be party music on.

This also includes the indie kids at the party telling inside jokes and discussing there stupid favourite bands.

Kev- Hey Erin were in an F-ing indie-vasion right now.

Erin- Totes, this is such an indie-vasion, turn off this crap

indie (adj.)

Having to do with the culture and lifestyle surrounding the independent music scene. The genre grew out of Sonic Youth's alternative rock movement of the 80's which spawned bands like Nirvana. When alternative rock, ironically, went mainstream and began getting playtime on commercial FM radio stations, the music left under the radar became known as "indie." Some notable indie bands of the 1990's were Built To Spill and Neutral Milk Hotel. Currently, indie music is becoming more popular. Bands like Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie are signing with major record labels. Many are appearing on late night television talk shows (e.g. Rilo Kiley, The Walkmen). Some view this as a good thing, that perhaps the general public will finally start listening to some good music. Others, wanting to retain their exclusive status, are listening to more obscure bands to counteract this trend. Many indie people claim to prefer vinyl.

FM radio listener: I think I like this indie music. The Killers are where it's at!
Indie kid: The Killers released their debut album on Island Records, asshole.

Indie kid: Have you heard of Suburban Lifeboat or The Juicy Chalkboards?
FM radio listener: What the fuck is wrong with you?
note: the band names mentioned in the above example are made up and are meant to demonstrate the strange and sometimes silly titles of indie bands

indie-nile

an indie band so blatantly lacking in creativity, charisma, and skill, that it is almost unbelievable that they haven't just decide to off themselves.

Also the fans of such bands, who are often without a clue about what makes music awesome, and instead they listen to any old shit, because it was on T4 the other day, and the bass player had a nice haircut. (T4 is a shitty UK tv show which is 'hip' and 'with it' and 'edgy')'

Damnit! this song sucks ass!!! the Kaiser Chiefs are indie-nile.

indie

indie is the greatest type of music ever. it is short for independant and is different to other music. `indie` bands normally dont have labels or didnt and know do. new bands are kaiser chiefs and arctic monkeys

indie is also a social group like goths or chav. these are independant and do their own thing.

Indie Girl

To tell you the truth, there's really no definition of an indie girl. Being "indie" is a state of mind--not a fashion statement.
There's no way to be an indie girl.
You just are.
If you happen to be a girl and you listen to independently produced music, watch independent movies, and if you stray away from anything mainstream then, yeah, you're an indie girl.
Indie girls don't indentify themselves as indie and they most definitely do not shun other people because of their tastes in music/movies/clothes/etc.
Indie girls don't just listen to music because it's indie.
Indie girls don't shun music because it's not rock. That's stupid. Indie music could be anything. Rock, rap, folk, anything.

That's it, I guess.

You're not an indie girl if you have to say it.
