Generally music with a more obscure sound. Indie music consists of musicians who aren't in it for the big label, but to make good music, or music they like. Genres include folk, rap, electronica, acoustic, etc.
Anybody who considers Modest Mouse to be an indie band is incredibly ignorant.
The genre should not be mistaken with "indie kids". (Who the hell labels themself as an indie kid, huh?)
Indie music doesn't ONLY consist of acoustic guitar, whiny voices, and shouldn't be mistaken with teenagers who wear black rimmed glasses, put the Juno album on repeat, wear converse, and hang out at Starbucks.
Try some Gregory and the Hawk, he Dreams of Sleep, Robbie Snell, Wesley Bunch.

An umbrella term for various non-commercial strains of rock and roll, separate from heavy metal's non-commercial artists. Its origins can be traced back to punk rock and post-punk of the late '70s and the early '80s. That non-commercial nature could stem from the outwardly ugly sound of the music, the wishes of the artist, the effeminacy of the music, etc. Indie rock is a wide umbrella, covering music, such as country/western or soft rock, that the punks would have rejected.
Saying that a band plays indie rock really doesn't say much about what kind of music it plays.

Indie wanna be. Someone who chooses bands that are primarily rock that aren't technically listened to by everybody but are still quite popular (slipknot, stone sour, etc) and treats that band like they are the only ones who have ever heard of them.
Indie-bee: I can't wait until I go see slipknot live next weekend. You probably never heard of them. They are SERIOUSLY underground.
Person 2: oh yeah I like them. Duality is my favorite song.
Indie-bee: shut up! That's probably like the only song you've heard by them!
Person 2: Dude you are such an indie-bee

Indie Kids are not the pretentious college twats that shop at Hollister and Topshop. They are people with a love for individually produced media that show an interest in art and other similar forms of expression. This is perhaps because it is avoiding the rat-race, hence the 'indi' part of the identity. Despite the new forming popular beliefs stemming from British high school and College students, they are not part of popular culture, rather, the name 'indie' or 'hipster' has been taken to embody a different meaning. An indie kid may be seen as precocious, due to the fact that they have an extensive vocabulary and do not follow the mainstream, but, this is in fact the indie kids greatest asset. I will not name a 'famous indie', due to the fact that, if they are non-existent and have been sucked into the belief that they are being individual, whilst wearing outfits practically made of money. This is why Alexa Chung or Taylor Swift will never be indie. Contrary to popular belief, indie kids are not actually kids, they are usually in their late teens to their 30s and usually care about environmental issues such as Fracking. They express themselves how they want and are an interesting group of people as they value individual thought and opinion. This is why many indie's take up photography and playing an instrument.
Alex: Hey, look at that girl with her topshop bag... she must be indie!!
Sophia: Indie kids are not conformist, you idiot :')
*points to a girl reading Aquinas' 'Summa Theologica'*
Sophia: She's indie.

Indie today is mostly just a status quo, similar to emo in the fact that people just listen to shitty bands no-one else has heard of because its "cool".
Indie fags are these people, and like to brag about how they know so much about music, and are generaly students from 16-24 who got bullied at school for being melts.
mum: oh i hope (insert name here) wont be one of those Indie fags when he is older.
Alpha male: he won't be, i'll sort the fucker out if he is.
