People from 16 to 29 who listen to indie music. They are cool people, careless about what other chavs and scums thing about them. Usually they are smart, they wear cool stuff, they have a nice hair cut and they are different, different is the right word. Most choices that they do is the right one. They don't like chavs, emo kids and metal. They usually have an ipod full of songs of the Arctic Monkeys, Libertines, Belle and Sebastian and stuff like that. They do not wear rbk cos it's too chaving. Being indie is being what everyone wish to be, but they cannot. The reason? You're born indie or you can become an indie kid if another indie lad shows you the way.
Indie Kid: Hey mate, do you know about the Arctic Monkeys?
Chav,emo or tard: African monkeys? Yes they are those small and funny creatures
Indie Kid: Because of tards like you this country is falling down

A style of music that MtV altered. The true definition of indie rock is music on an independent record label, but commonly misconcepted as a certain sound of high pitched voices and acoustic instruments from bands that are, in fact, on major record labels.
It's indie rock and roll for me!

The hair cut that makes you cool with all your hipster friends. It could be the ever popular, side swooping bangs (unisex) or just regular bangs (females only). Males: in combination with the hipster beard and/or hipster glasses, you'll look really deep and intellectual with out saying a word. Females: in combination with hipster glasses and a sundress; guys who areindie as fuck will be all over you
Guy1: look at Jim over there, talking to Sara
Guy2: Yeah, he's been talking to all the nerdy chicks since he got that indie cut
Guy1: it must have gave him an assload of confidence
Guy2: that hipster bastard

an indie mod is pretty much an indie that also has loose ties to mainstream media.
an indie kid is asked if they heard let's say "disturbia" by rihanna, the indie mod says "yeah." and kinda drifts away.

Listen to unmanufactured smaller labelled music - the blatently obvious bit.
they like bands such as : the strokes franz ferdinand and the cribs ( for those who werent too sure)
Many indie kids will quite easily be mistaken for an emo or scene kid - this is due to scene and emo's being newer groups, which have taken many indie attributes eg- drainpipes, blazers, polkadots and beads
Unlike emos, indies are happy and dont over do the hair ( too much spray/gel)
unlike scene kids, indies dont act childish or obsessive
indie kids can often seem arrogant, though many are not, and are actually very friendly people.
indie kids like to find bands that others have not heard of yet, and can get easily annoyed when people rave about that band once it is in the public eye (eg - arctic monkeys)
indie kids are generally quite smart and do tend to be well kept (like to look quite good, but not overdone)
indie kids like to be a little different, but more importantly like to be themselves.
i suppose myself, an indie kid would wear: drain pipe or straight legged trousers, and a blazer. my hair is parted, but not over done or covers and eye like an emo. i wear white trashed converse
but this is purely because there my favourite shoes and are so comfy because theyve been worn so much :)
a good example of a scene kid, would be very the same, but there hair would be much over done and they may wear make up ( boy ) there myspace will be well overdone, like be set out completely different and would have a good 300 friends, none of which they know, but would be other scene looking kids.
an emo : would wear either looser or drainpipes jeans and probably black converse, generally any colour but white. black shirts, infact as much black as posible, hair would be parted and go over there eye, and hair may be spiked at back. will be depressed and can be quite arrogant and morbid.

Pretty bad music.
Every indie band sounds so much alike that all the musicians are interchangeable.
Indie musicians aren't very good at playing their instruments and probably learned all that they know from The Beatles.
Werewolf by Cocorosie
"Wow, that song Werewolf really speaks to me, I love her voice. I really think that song is what indie music is truly about"
"Really? Well then you must literally know nothing about music as it is nails on chalkboard. But whatever, we all have different opinions. I just think that a line should be drawn somwhere..."

Really cool music that you wouldn't typically hear on the radio.
