The average indie kid is usually:
- white and middle classed
- well read and well spoken
- likes quoting lyrics of the most obscure songs (favourites include 'Who's Got The Cr*ck?' and any of The Queens Of Noize)
- sporting blazers, pin badges, battered converse, drainpipes, oversized sunglasses, polka dots (before they - became fashionable), a cigarette, a book of poetry and a bottle of whiskey (preferable in a hip flask)
- vain/insecure
- into the whole boytouching/girl touching thing

- pro-vegetarianism
- wearing eyeliner
- into films, y'know arty flicks like Donnie Darko

I'm not allowed to name indie kids i know, so I'll just say you're average Pete Doherty fan (god help us)

Right so, an indie kid is someone who listens to..indie music O.o individual sounding, thus the "indie". Like Mindless Self Indulgence. Oh they cry too apparently... and how would they know?
Indie kids are actually generally happy becuase most indie music is happy too. Makes sense doesn't it? You CAN listen to indie and emo and not be indie or emo you idiots. I listen to indie and emo, and I'm not indie or emo. I don't cry much, I'm not depressed and I don't moan about how my life is so confusing.
So that's your idea out the fucking window.
If people are too sad they're emo. If they're too happy they're indie. If they're inbetween they're just boring.
For God's sake just grow up. People ae who they are. That's it.
Is nothing good enough for you stupid stereotypers?

A group of people who enjoy having fun, they also experiment with clothing style and sexuality. Lyle and Scott, Topman Socks, Skinny Jeans and Winkle Pickers are common attire. They also consume vast amounts of alcohol and illegal substances.
Tom: Lets go and have fun.

when one goes to a indie show and ends up bangin' a girl right in front of the stage. The whole crowd gets a free show.
I went to the concert and people were having indie sex all over the place. Jizz was everywhere.

people who overdress themselves with cool fashionable clothes, and say that they listen to a lot of music. they usually listen to horrible barely indie bands like the yeah yeah yeahs, white stripes, the faint, and the strokes.
Will: Look at that awesome kid with all those buttons on his cool designer shirt. Maybe we should go see if he is interested in the same music as us.
Bill: Let's go for it.
Indie Poser: What's up

Uses music as a fashion accessory.
Into the whole Mod thing of the 60s but have somehow got it all wrong. They like bands such as Belle & Sebastian, The Strokes, Bloc Party, Razorlight, Franz Ferdinand, The Libertines, The Smiths, The Cure (all of a sudden) "sleazy" electro and basically everything the music magazine NME tells them to listen to. Occasionally you'll see one wearing a Led Zeppelin tshirt under their blazer which so obviously proves they are "rock and roll" and into old school "hard" rock. Favorite Led Zeppelin song of theirs would probably be Stairway To Heaven.
They try to involve themselves in creative subjects at college and university such as art, photography and media studies and like to watch Japanese horror films, 1950's French films, James Dean films etc.
Go to the Camden Barfly on a Friday night and you will think you have walked into a cloning experiment.
I enjoy making songs that are no longer than 50 seconds. I enjoy making movies about nothing. I enjoy wantching james dean on my television set. I like making artwork covers for bands that only exist inside my head.

Contrary to many persons beliefs Indie kids are not mean, rude or sharp-ly sarcastic. Some people believe that they are a branch of 'Emo' and they are not.
Indie Kids usually are around 13 to 19, they like to dress differently and are very opinionated. They are quite calm and are usually hated and loved by members of the public.
Indie kids tend to pity Chavs and scenes, who think they rae so cool and different, when they are not.
Indie Kids Like to stay away from places that are heavily populated. You will see them more commonly in Parks or little Hole-in-the-wall cafes.
Indie Kids honestly do not care what people think. They rae the types to laugh when people are mean to them.
You cannot put your finger on Indie Kids style because unlike the typical Emo or scene, they do not conform to their own standards.
Indie Kids are not confrontational, and usually don't hang out in large packs. They are not loud and are sometimes interested in Things like The Mighty Boosh, The Flight of The Conchords, Oscar Wilde, Asian Candy, Messy Rooms, iPod classics, Banksy, N64, Catcher in the rye, Alice In Wonderland, Big Star, Astronomy, Photography and finding young bands before they make It big, but they don't boast about It, they just smile to themselves.
Scene Kid: I just saw my favourite band play live and I got a picture with them! I will, like, so put this on MySpace! Maybe everyone will think I actually kissed him!
Indie Kid: I just saw my favourite band Play live, lucky me, I will try talk to them backstage.
