How is it possible to define an indie kid. This term indie kid is somewhat overused and individuals who profess to be indie are clearly conforming to mainstream culture. Indie is simply a term that is used in modern society to describe a red brick university student of the 1970s. They enjoyed wearing clothing that was not over ellaborate or attention seeking. There clothing collection was minimilast but often looked good because the rest of society were simply trying too hard to stand out from the crowd and in my opinion still do. They like discussing topics of an intellectual nature which include the arts, science, politics etc. There music taste is not pretentious just different with varying levels of obscurity. Idiots who spend time looking for obscure music on pitchfork are not indie. They are elitist and have no appreciation of varying musical genre's. There not better than the average person on the street but just more culturally aware and educated.
quite simply anybody who tells you they are indie are conformative and in the process are creating a paradox for the meaning of the word indie or independant.
1970s student (indie kid): Have you read lewis wolpert's new book on cell biology. It really simplifies such a complex field of biology.
Average person: Fuck off, your boring

Let me first start out by saying that being Indie does not fit into a particular group. Indie stands for Independant, as in on you're own, against social cliques, there for saying, "I am Indie," would defeat the purpose.
An Indie poser is indeed someone who thinks and says that they're Indie. The obviously try too hard by trying to pull of weird colorful looks that just turn out looking gross. An Indie poser probably has no idea about any local or Indie/alternative bands. And if they do, it's obvious they don't enjoy them because they can't speak deeply about the music.
Indie kids do their own thing, they are their own person. They have unique interests and are usually intelligent and pretty deep.
So the kids who are obviously shallow, try too hard, don't care for deep conversations, and hide their true interests... but dress and listen to Indie music and call themselves Indie, are indeed not Indie.
The following is an example of the daily life of a Poser Indie kid trying to fit in:
True Indie Kid: I was watching Donnie Darko last night, and I just realized how fascinating the quality of the cinematography was, and the music choice really reflected the true agony and confusion I felt Donnie was going through.
Poser Indie Kid: uhm... yeah the giant bunny is so fucking.. uhm... rad. I uhm.. really like the... quality.....??
True Indie Kid: Okay man whatever
Bottom line--- If you try to be or want to be Indie, you never will. Because you are not.
Indie Posers are whack and retarded.

Coined by Hadouken! during a ravenous sing song, a girl who wears polka dot dresses and has hair resembling that of a Lego lady. Often these people attend public school (or private school if your American) and are scenesters.
Often seen buying beads in ''alternative'' outlets and behaving moodily. A common misconception of these people is that they may have received some form of botox in the lips due to an irregular and permanent myspace pout or pulling a screwface.
Often indie cindy’s and their complimentary pink-polo and tight black jeaned male friends do not realise they are not needed at gigs and provide embarrassment for themselves and give bands they follow a bad reputation.
Apparently highly contagious, the QUELP Knights are currently searching for a cure; although the breed may eventually kill themselves if they chose to cross the road rather than going down the street.
''That girls and indie cindy; lego hair cut and polka do dress, i don't care if she thinks she's indie, how she's different is anyone's guess''

There is a way to be an indie girl. You're listening to music almost 24/7, you get clothes from mainly vintage shops, Urban Outfitters, and American Apparel. They're usually really skinny, and most are vegetarians/vegans. Bands like Fleet Foxes appeal to indie girls. And all are adorable! They like the earth, too.
Indie is awesome. Indie girls are cool.

When you’re an Indie fag all you do in life is try desperately to become as indie as you can be. Your whole presence is influenced by the one and only god ‘Pete Doherty’ and you’re all sooo unique even though it’s hard to tell you all apart? You also have to make sure you own some inanimate object, such as a hill.
“oi indie fag one, wanna meet for a fag?”
“Yeah alright indie two, let’s go meet at indie hill and planned to crash parties”

Original meaning: Any music that produced and released by independent bands or independent record labels, and consumed by adolescent and adults under 35 yro. Most of such music are produced with a low to moderate budget.
Modern meaning: bands with <100k likes on facebook and not on any major labels. music they produced and released is considered "indie". But some of these bands are signed to subsidiaries of major labels, ie. Interscope, subpop...etc. In that sense, they shouldn't be considered "indie", rather major label artists with an "indie" aesthetic preference for marketing purposes.

Girl/Guy that is obsessed with "indie music". Thinking Coldplay, Owl City, and Nevershoutnever, are the most indie bands out there. Will use itunes, and MTV to find bands that are "interesting and new" even though they are mainstream. Wear pure cardigans, because they think it will make them seem unique. They think they know all about music, but are fakes, and whore out good bands, to try to seem cool.
Indie Whore- Oh, have you heard that new song "Vanilla Twilight" by Owl city?
Actual Indie Lover- I heard that song 2 years ago, before Adam Young was a sellout, and wasn't so mainstream.
