a contradiction of the butt, it is simultaneously large and nonexistent; while the butt is large (and often in charge) it is seemingly also flat, and is rarely, if ever, described as "bootylicious" although this may be an illusion of the silm leg jeans indie girls tend to wear.
A girl need not be fat to have an indie butt, in fact it is often the only aspect of the girl with any meat to it.
All the girls at the Decemberists concert had total indie butt

Okay, well, indie kids. first off, let me tell you how different the are from emo and scene kids. like, 20295823 miles off. emo kids are crying dark kids that didnt turn into indie kids after the early 2000's. (most indie kids were originally the 1990s emo kids, but thats a completely different definition than the new wave emo kids)
scene kids are rainbow wearing, makeup smearing kids who stick it to people unlike them, or slightly like them.
okay, so indie kids. i guess ill define them descriptivly if you want:
music:
of course, they listen to indie music, consisting of bands such as of montreal, owen pallett, casiotone for the painfully alone, and more bands that you've probably never heard of. more popular bands they listen to are the shins, the decemberists, bloc party, and of course, the beatles, david bowie, and talking heads.
personalities:
a mistake people generally make is comparing the personality lineaments of emo kids to indie kids. emo kids are depressed and want to cut themselves. indie kids are quite the opposite. yes, they are only human, so of course they get sad sometimes, but indie kids usually have an upbeat look at life. their music is usually happy, so that most likely has an effect on their moods.
indie kids mostly consist of liberals, and i have never ever seen a republican indie kid. they dont only hang out with indie kids though, but it is a nice plus to them to have friends that appreciate their music, and dont listen to 50 cent.
most indie kids enjoy books (most likely classics). also have a random obsession with some country such as the UK, France, New Zealand, Japan, etc.
appearance:
boys- highly fashionable, but not pretentious about it. they just like looking good. they are usually wearing either some creative outfit like red jeans and a dress shirt, or just jeans, skater shoes, an awesome graphic tee, and a jacket. hair looks like it hasnt been brushed in two days (not more than that though, they dont want to look gross). most likely no make up. if anything, a touch of eyeliner, but its not looked highly upon
girls- very pretty girls. either wavy hair or stick straight. bangs or side bangs are a must. hair can be randomly crimped too. it looks really cool. boots are worn, but rarely to school. flats and converse are for school. jeans are worn, usually straight leg, not skinny jeans. pretty shirts and jackets are worn, along with a little bit of jewelry. oh and headbands. dont ever forget headbands. makeup is not overdone.
basically, indie kids are misunderstood. they hate it when they are called emo or scene. they love discussing music, and love even more laughing at kids who listen to horrible music. they are usually very smart, and extremely witty. do not take it as arrogance. it is simply them expressing themselves
girl: omg i love scary kids scaring kids! dont you?
indie kid: hmmm not really
girl: why?? i thought you would have LOVED SKSK
indie kid: no not really. um, im going to go read something, then go ride in my car with my buds while we blast some arcade fire. bye see you later

Insults directed, in a light hearted manner, towards people who are trying to be, or refuse to be labelled as "indie" due to its negative associations with Indie Amy (of BBC Them fame).
I'm not indie, okay? Now stop with all these indie-sults.

usually, really fucking smart. they can be pretentious, but they have the right since they're so smart. usually listens to obscure bands that arent on the radio and likes to read. although it represents th idea of being who you are, indie has become a stereotype in itself.
then there are kids who try to be indie, and they're really annoying. you can notice the difference between a real indie kid or a fake indie kid because indie kids dont go out of their way to prove they're awesome and listen to cool music. if it comes up in conversation they may discuss music but not try to shove it down your throat. on the other hand, someone who tries to be indie will use every given oppurtunity to rattle off an obscure band and prove how cool they are.
real indie kid: hey, how are you?
fake indie kid: i'm okay, the shins.
real indie kid: what?
fake indie kid: i said the shins, must of slipped out, they're like so awesome because i have the garden state soundtrack.
real indie kid: oh.
fake indie kid: yeah i listen to awesome music. i'm pretty awesome in myself.
real indie kid: fuck.

An Indie girl is the type of girl that stands up for what she beleives. she usually doesn't care what people think about her. they also don't name themselves as indie if they do they arn't they are a poser. They like all different types of music especially bands that no one has heard of. Most of the bands are up beat and happy not heavy metal. They are uaually artistic they like to draw, write, photography, play music or do anything that they are good at.
people think that an indie girl dresses vintage have bangs that usually cover their face and their hair is bleach blonde or black. That definatly isn't true because then it wouldn't be indie.
The shy girl in your art class that is always during or that girl in your music class that is an amazing guitar player and isn' afraid to speak their mind. That is an indie girl.

An indy jobber is usually a vanilla midget without charisma or personality. They don't look like WWE superstars, they can't cut a promo, they can't act, they are not larger than life ,they are boring. They only care about their in-ring workrate because they have nothing else to offer.
- A real WWE fan would say : "Johnny Boregano, Ricoshit and Adam Tool are garbage. Typical indy jobbers."
