Elitist, liberal (not Democrats, they're all Libertarians and Green Party and such) people aged 16-28 who listen to independent music. Better than regular people, they're smarter, hotter (they generally try and act like they don't care about how they look, but they do), and better than the general populace. Do not mistake them with emo kids, emo is the ANTI-INDIE. Emo kids and Indie kids have had a long-standing war since emo became the "new thing". Indie kids hate indie yuppies also, indie yuppies are the Starbucks-drinking, Volvo-driving kids who thing that the music they hear on The O.C. is "indie", think that that Shins song is life-changing, and only pretend to read James Joyce.
Non-Indie: Hey, I heard those Franz Ferdinand people you were telling me about, they sound great.
Indie: I told you about them in fucking Novemeber of 2003, before they sold out. Go listen to some Gang of Four anyway, they're ace, and Franz Ferdinand are just GOF knock-offs anyway.

a teenager or young person who listens to independant music. they dont necessarily only listen to indie music but they still do to some degree. unlike what some other definitions say, an indie kid doesnt have to fit a certain description, as long as they listen to indie music.

a chill person that usually has lots of layers in their hair
and dresses vintagey and is original and creative usually artsy
has a wide vocabulary and is pretty happy person and has a lot of goals going for them
listens to tons of bands you never heard of which is part of them being original
has good comebacks and may be shy in a cute way
hasn't had many lovers because they come off as too good for people

Yeah, indie kids all look the same.
But so do all emo kids, scene kids, ghetto fab. kids, american eagle snobs, hardXcore freaks, granola hemp queens, preps, jocks, posers of all sorts, etc.
If you find something you love (music, fashion, etc.) then you stick with it.
Most Indie kids are "indie" cause they have their own style/fashion, just like the bands they listen to (not having a huge record label).
Lay off, fuckers.
Get a life; find something you love and stick with it.
JESUS.

Indie kids are the new generation of nerd. They're the "cool nerd" cos they embrace the awkwardness.

Someone independent in their thinking as to the eccentric perception of life in all ways. An outstanding person, set apart into it's own, defining it without conformity, but with it's own origination.

indie kids are usually witty and sarcastic, they may come across as mean, but theyre really actually good people. If you ask an indie kid if theyre emo you will DIE. no joke, they will kill you for saying such a thing, because indies hate emos and hate it when people mix them up. They listen to bands most kids have never heard of, like arcade fire, spoon, vampire weekend, blur, etc. and wouldnt be caught dead listening to mainstream music. Theyre usually really smart but dont advertise it, and like to read. They are really original and dont hang out exclusively with indies, but they like to have at least one friend who shares their tastes. Music is a huge part of their lives, as is art. i acted like this even before i started getting called "indie" so trust me, i know.
Normal kid: hey lets listen to teach me how to dougie
Indie kid: are you kidding me? im sorry but that has no style, its just generic rap. we should listen to modest mouse.
Normal kid: nah thats crap
Indie kid: wow you dont appreciate music
