A genre of music associated with bands on the independent scene; otherwise, not on major lable. Some popular Indy lables are Sub-Pop and Saddle-Creek.

stuck up artsy types that are convinced that they listen to the best music in the world and stare down anyone who starts to like "their" band. characterized by unoriginal clothing, most likely purchased from Urban Outfitters and/or may be loaded with cash, helping them design an indie image and buying every fucking CD that is featured on insound.com
I converted from being an indie elitist to a commie.

Indie from independent
Came into usage in the late 1970s early 1980s to describe records distributed independently of the major record companies. Some of the larger independent record labels such as Rough Trade acted as distributors and at one point independent labels collaborated to distribute records through the Cartel.
Although in recent years the term has become associated with guitar bands it was not originally so. For example records by Kylie Minogue appeared in the indie charts because her record label used an independent distributor.
By the late 1980s the independent music scene ceased to have any real meaning as major record companies set up fake indie labels and some of the larger independent record labels sold out to majors.
Nowadays the term is associated with a style of guitar music and has to some extent become a pejorative term. For example in the phrase "landfill indie", expressing the lack of originality in much of the genre.

Indie cred has a lot to do with the independent rock movement. The more rad bands you know and have seen in concert, the cooler you are.
Indie kid: I saw Mogwai last night!
Indie kid 2: I saw them like five months ago, around the time I saw the Islands.
Indie kid: Next week I should be getting those +/- tickets I ordered.
Indie kid 2: Ahhh I'm so jealous!
And assuming people heard you, you might get more indie cred, and other indie kids think you're cooler.
