Indie kids are pretentious and sometimes a bit cocky. But thats okay. They listen to indie bands, the more obscure the better. They're often seen sporting blazers, even when outside of school. They are pretty much the opposite of emo in a sense that they stick to a personal style. A lot of indie girls have fringes and wear obnoxiously bright lipstick. Most of them, despite their distance from the mainstream, carry around iPods. While other people are talking about how "sick the show was", they will be heard talking about how "annoying the singer sounded". A lot of them also seem to have a fascination with the United Kingdom and it's culture.
The Kaiser Chiefs? They're so yesterday, you wanker.

A person, generally in their late teens or early twenties, who believes their music is far superior to yours, not due to musical quality, but simply due to the fact that their music is obscure and no one else cares about it. Usually, their music is shitty, and they will force you to listen to it. If you tell them their music is shitty, they will get really angry at you, feign a look of indignation, and just call you an idiot. They also like coffee, simply because they think it makes them sophisticated.

Normal Person: Hey, can we turn off this cd and switch it to the radio? I'm not really into the Himalayan monk chant combined with a two man band that plays didgeridoos, harpsichords, and the honky tonk.
Indie Bitch: Eww, of course not! That music is so terrible. It's all just corporate garbage and it all sounds the same. Try to have some creativity, dumb ass! (Drinks caramel macchiato)

Was the best radio station in the Los Angeles area. Was recently pulled off the air January 19, 2009 and was replaced with some regional Latin music. They still continue broadcasting on the internet, though some of the shows have changed.
Charlie: I can't stand not having indie 103.1 in my car.. it's just not the same.
Jack: Why don't you listen to KIIS FM or KROQ?
Charlie: Get off the car. Now.

Alternative Rock music that didn't cross over into the mainstream(by choice or not) after the "alternative revolution" of the 90's. Typically, the music is relased on small "indie" labels. Indie Rock bands do music that doesn't necessarily appeal to wide mainstream audiences. There are a variety of reasons for this but some of the more common examples are the sound being to raw and abrasive(i.e to much distortion/feedback), the lyrics being to cryptic and abstract or the production and musicianship being to amateurish. In more recent years however some indie bands such as Modest Mouse, The Shins and The White Stripes have found some mainstream success. These bands however are still considered indie because they still have a decidedly non-mainstream sound.
90's indie rock-Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, Superchunk, Archers of Loaf, Neutral Milk Hotel, Fugazi, Modest Mouse, Radiohead(controversially)
2000's indie rock-The White Stripes, The Shins, The Arcade Fire, Death Cab for Cutie, The Strokes, Artic Monkeys, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Subgenres
90's-lo-fi, emo(went mainstream in 2000's), post-hardcore, noise pop, dream pop, neo-psychedelia, shoegaze, indie pop
2000's-garage rock revival, post-punk/new wave revival, freak folk, new weird America, dance punk, indietronica

Any of various indie music kids who tend to not shower for days and wear tattered and torn clothing.
These scenesters will try their hardest to look dirty and poor even if they are subsidized by their wealthy parents.
Discussion:
John - "Yeah man, so how was that Junior Boys show?"
Wes - "Eh, it was good, but these damn indie rats in front of me stunk so bad I could hardly focus."
