indie rock is a genre of music that is "undeground", thus not many people in the pop culture world know about these music gems. although some indie bands become big (ex. death cab for cutie) then their followers begin to think of them as "sell outs". indie rock is the best music out there, too bad todays shit music blinds the general public.
indie although is very competitive and mos hipsters compete for who knows more "un-known" bands.
some examples of indie rock artists are:
bright eyes
the umbrellas
hot chip
cat power
some indie rock record labels:
crank
saddle creek

Yeah, indie kids all look the same.
But so do all emo kids, scene kids, ghetto fab. kids, american eagle snobs, hardXcore freaks, granola hemp queens, preps, jocks, posers of all sorts, etc.
If you find something you love (music, fashion, etc.) then you stick with it.
Most Indie kids are "indie" cause they have their own style/fashion, just like the bands they listen to (not having a huge record label).
Lay off, fuckers.
Get a life; find something you love and stick with it.
JESUS.

Bands that combine indie rock/pop and 50's/60's folk music of artists such as Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. Early artists include Will Oldham and Elliott Smith. There are a lot of indie bands that have folk influences like The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie, however these bands are not considered indie folk since they are not traditional folk bands due to the use synthesizers and keyboards and strong elements of other genres such as grunge, power pop and psychedelic rock.
Bright Eyes, Elliot Smith, The Dodos and Iron and Wine are all indie folk artists.

The female version of an 'indie kid', or 'indie limey'. Most often seen wearing polka dots and large bags over one shoulder. Also they might have messy 'bed hair' and perhaps wearing what's called an 'indie band' across their forehead, over a large sweeping fringe. Awkwardness and nerd-fashion is a must when it comes to indie cindies. Think Topshop when you think indie cindies; the style originated from shops like that, when girls began creating 'unique' fashion.
A Hadouken! song 'That Boy That Girl' has the lines "That girl's an indie cindie, lego haircut and a polkadot dress." in it.
Cassie from the TV series Skins is a good example.
