Photo Cred 

There is a common misconception of the actual definition of photo cred. One does not simply receive photo cred for pressing a button to snap a cute pic. Photo cred is given when the photographer (whether they are professional or not) sets up a picture - in other words, when the photographer SEES the picture before it is taken. When photo cred is given, the photographer has done someone a service - a service the picture subject didn't ask for, but instead one that was given to them simply because they have a great friend who wants to take cool, "Facebook prof pic"-worthy picture of them. So don't expect to get photo cred when someone asks you to take a picture or when they set it up themselves - you as a photographer must see the picture yourself.
"Hey Susie! Stop in your tracks RIGHT THERE! The way that light is placed right behind you looks awesome. Let me take a sweet pic."

"Okay!"

SNAP

"Woah, that's a really cool pic of me!"

"Thanks Susie! Just make sure you give me photo cred when you make it your profile picture."

indie cred

Indie cred has a lot to do with the independent rock movement. The more rad bands you know and have seen in concert, the cooler you are.
Indie kid: I saw Mogwai last night!
Indie kid 2: I saw them like five months ago, around the time I saw the Islands.
Indie kid: Next week I should be getting those +/- tickets I ordered.
Indie kid 2: Ahhh I'm so jealous!

And assuming people heard you, you might get more indie cred, and other indie kids think you're cooler.
