Self-righteous, green tea drinking dumbasses who incessantly try to "out-deep" each other by seeing who can put more Elliot Smith quotes on their myspaces and trying to pass it off as being original. They typically can't distinguish the difference between owning a guitar (typically acoustic) and being able to play one. Anyone else's taste in music is inferior to theirs especially if it doesn't have a reference to working out their causeless angst through cigarettes, coffee, and wearing stupid shoes. They're like paper cuts, no one likes them, but as foul as they are, no one cares enough about them to acknowledge them as anything important longer than about 22 seconds.

An individual. They enjoy unmanufactured (independent) music involving decent song writing and creativity.

(n) Indie kids-come in many varieties but a few common traits about them are:
-tight pants
-unkept hair (usually a sanctuary for birds and miscellaneous indie items, in city areas rats are common)
-three or more pairs of vans slip-ons (very shitty appearance….with checkers)
-an extensive list of over two thousand songs that they have listened to once on their ipods
-striped sweaters or sweater vests
-striped sweaters for ipods
-share common like for songs utilizing 4 chords and a pentatonic scale solo(gay)
-an acoustic guitar(from target)
-tee shirts with bands you have never heard of and never will.
-snow caps in the dead of summer
-many have moderate to severe acne
Habitat: Their natural habitat is usually the local coffee shop/legion or v.f.w., which they habitually attend on weekends to watch obscure bands. Some indie kids actually watch the bands but most of them come to the shows to smoke in the parking lot with their friends and talk about other indie bands from Britain, also known as the U.K. (because we all know, the more British something is, the more AMAZING it is).
Everyday Life: Obscurity is really the basis of the entire culture. Chances are, if you have an indie friend, they are probably extreme long boarding in downtown Oswego, Illinois while listening to the Kaiser chiefs at this very moment
Diet: Everything an indie kid eats must be one of two things. Vegetarian or organic. Their meals include: tofu wraps
Turkey wraps
Lettuce wraps
Roast beef wraps
Ham and cheese wraps
Sprout and bean wraps
…………..Fuck it basically any wrap will do
overpriced obscure fruit smoothies(ex. Mango pomegranate)
Whole-wheat non-comformist purple red green and black chips
Tuna (without dolphin chunks in it)
Soymilk
Snapple brand drinks

Average Joe: dude, wanna go to the movies this weekend? The new oceans' movie is out, it looks bad ass.
Indie kid: nah dude, im heading to Colorado for the sundance movie festival, mainstream movies are trash, George Bush is brainwashing you…I’d much rather watch movies about lesbian cowboys eating pudding…and eat some organic lettuce wraps…*turns around and plays song on guitar with three chords*
Average Joe: fuckin weirdo…

indie stands for independent and thats wots indie kids are they give a toss about people who cant accept them people say they try to act cool but everyone does anyway people say they have no taste in clothing either the people sayin this possibly wear emo clothes,sports wear for casual wear or the tacky pop diva look.
most people hate the indie kid they find it weird and different or they cant handle independence and freedom indies give.

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
- anti-'indie bands who have broken through into the mainstream charts'
- pro-vegetarianism
- wearing eyeliner
- into films, y'know arty flicks like Donnie Darko
- able to draw, or at least take posey photographs of themselves and edit them on photoshop
- into online blogging
- attractive

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.
