A medical condition that plagues men between the ages of 15 and 30, usually recreational writers, artists, or musicians. A person suffering from IBS is characterized as someone who, when alone with a female, constantly says vague and noncommittal things or lapse into silence, waiting for her to respond with something poetic, in hopes that she will fulfill the role of their indie dream girl and like all the same bands as him.
Friend: Did you go out with Jake yesterday?
Girl: Yes
Friend: Well, how'd it go?
Girl: I don't know, we just sort of drove around. Every now and again he'd say something cryptic and like ... wait for me to respond. Total case of Indie Boy Syndrome
Pretty much like indie kids, but the britpop kids aren't too fussed about their music being 'non-mainstream'. Their bands of choice usually include Oasis, The Libertines & The Fratellis. Most of it is either soft electric or acoustic guitar, and the singers can actually sing.
Indie Boys usually wear jeans, which can be skinny (but not too skinny) or baggy, with an obscure band teeshirt and a bizarrely coloured hoodie and converse/dunlops.
The girls are divided into two groups, there's the indie vintage girls who wear things like tweed, a lot of fifties style things, long knee length socks, silk scarves and look incredibly expensive. The other kind dress more like the boys, with band shirts or just shirts with a cool logo, hoodies, skinny jeans and converse. The indie boy DOES NOT wear make up. The indie girl wears a small amount but not over emo eyeliner and never, ever lipgloss.
New rave is very influential over the indie stereotype and indie kids have taken on a lot of neon-techno-rave gear. Inspired by bands such as Klaxons, CSS, and Hadouken! the basic uniform remains the same except the hoodies become bolder and the girls wear a lot of neon eyeshadow. Large sunglasses (obscure only, mind) are also common amongst indie britpoppers.
Indie Britpop kid: Hey, you okay?
Wannabe Indie Kid: yeah. i totally dig your babyshambles tee.
later that night the wannabe goes home and downloads babyshambles' entire discography.
wannabe is not cool.

The perfect balance of everything a college student should encompass. An environmental indie hipster recycles, doesn't eat meat, dances wildly to non-mainstream bands, hangs out in coffee shops while refusing to drink anything but fair-trade or rain forest certified coffee, eats local/organic food, buys all their clothes from thrift stores, and at night tends to dance to funky music while by day takes university classes on how to save the world.
Environmental indie hipster: Starbucks sucks because it is corporate bullshit.
Non environmental indie hipster: But I love the double, mocha frappachinos!
EIH: u suck.

Indie Obscurity Laws (also known as IOLs) are the laws that help indie kids choose their music.
1. Band must be heard of by NOBODY.
2. When heard of by - even by just one person - they are considered mainstream and no good.
3. If ever played on the radio, the band is no longer indie and must be called "overplayed" or "overrated".
4. Must have a ridiculous name (preferably something foreign) like Leidaek, or The Fisher's Leaf, or even Killing All Pigeons.
5. Does not have to be real music. Can be random videogame noises and mumbling.
6. Anybody who doesn't follow these strict laws, has awful, mainstream, commercialized music taste.
Person: Oh, yeah. I like Metro Station, Forever the Sickest Kids, and Owl City.
Indie: Omg. Ur music taste is the most overplayed, unoriginal, crappy taste ever. Go die in a hole or listen to some decent music like -insert indie band name here-.
Person: Wow. You must follow the Indie Obscurity Laws religously.
Indie: Hellz yeah. God forbid me listen to the mainstream crap that you listen to. Idiot.
