Elitists who often times try to make themselves look "different" and "mysterious". Listening solely to bands that you've never heard of and even dropping them once they make more than 50 fans. Each indie kid is "different" in the same way. They take part in such activities as going to concerts and crappy photography. There seems to be some sort of one-sided war between indie kids and scene/emo kids, but quite frankly, they're both nearly identical. The only difference is that indie kids are butthurt to be put under a label.
"Have you heard the new death cab for cutie song?"
"No way, I haven't listened to death cab since 2004, because they sold out and went to Atlantic Records, and true indie kids wouldn't listen to that"

The worst fucking people you will ever meet. They die streaks of pink or blond in the front of their hair and wear heavy eyeliner that makes them look more emo than indie. Indies shop at thrift stores and wear Dr. Martens, Converse, chunky shoes, bandanas, bucket hats, Jordan 1s, Air force 1s, baggy jeans (which aren't really baggy on them), homemade bead jewelry, mini purses, rings, and big jewelry. They decorate their rooms with fake ivy leaves, LED lights, Hello Kitty, records, collages of pictures on their walls, dreamcatchers, butterflies hanging from the ceiling, graphic prints, animal prints, crystals, incenses, succulents, hanging plants, Turkish Nazars, and there is cow print EVERYWHERE. They drink Yerba Mates and Boba and Monster drinks. And then they use the monster cans as plant pots. Indies listen to Indie music and pretend to like Tyler, The Creator. They ruin 90s music and aren't even fans of the person they are listening to. All of their photos on Social Media are highly saturated and it blinds your eyes and they use fish eyes lenses on their pictures and videos. Indies have skateboards and pretend to be skaters when really, they suck at it. They like to go on picnics and explore abandoned places. They ruin these all of these special things. I have no hate against REAL Indie kids, but the fake, wanna-be ones who do these things need to get a life.
Me: Are you an Indie Kid?
Indie Kids: Yes. Do you want to have a picnic, drink Yerba Mates, and skate with me and my friends?
Me: Here we go again...🙄

Get the Indie Kid mug.
A child who follows what they are told through the 3 divine indie mandates, NME, The mighty boosh and Radio 1.
Generally dressed in awful clothes that are too thing, short or smell like piss. Love to go to concerts where everyband name begins with the word "the" whilst telling everyone else there that "I knew who they were before you ALLL".
A step above scene but a step below chav, however indie kids will have characteristics of both social groups such as stupid fringes and inability to interact with other normal people.
Most likely spotted at a kings of leon concert giving devil horns and saying "omg this is the best shit ever, I wish I could play that bland 2 chord song on my guitar". Whilst us normal kids are pounding your girlfriend and getting her pregnant.
Most likely to insult metal, rap or rock and roll but have no valid reasons as to why it's bad.. generally listen to dull 2 chord songs which all revolve lyrically about being in love with someone who doesn't love you anymore because you took too long to tell them about your love and they are now in a relationship with someone else, most likely your best friend... the girl will be called something stupid like "rose" or "ruby".

Indie kid: You like shit music, I love the Arctic monkeys because nobody has heard of them
Normal: Never of heard of them probably because they're shit?
Indie kid: NOOOOO YOU DON'T GET IT

indies kids are those who think there super cool and have think they have indervidual style and choice in music when they all look the fucking same and listen to the same music.

A kid who wears penguin clothing and white converse, usually with some sort of heart or something drawn on them. Listens to bloc party, Arctic Monkeys and other good euro indie because thats the good stuff. People alot like Matt. He is a good description

Someone who is so cool that they cannot interact with the general public for an extended period of time in fear of being sucked in to the wave of pop-culture. Little do they know that they are the new pop-culture. Indie people are by definition, better than everyone else purely because they listen to music with the same things techno music is made with. Indie kids' favorite pastimes include crying, blogging (writing in journals), being in touch with their emotions (which is really just an excuse for the crying), carrying an elitist attitude, crying some more, being very liberal, talking about bands that no one has heard of, crying more, comparing bands with friends to see who knows more, wearing things that make them an "idividual" (really just things that convey their "im too indie for you to even talk to" attitude...these clothes can be found at any local Hot Topic store), crying some more, hating punk rock even though if it wasnt for punk rock there would be no indie music, hating everyone else, judging people based upon music, thinking they know everything, fantisizing about death in poetic fashion, compairing everyday meaningless events... to their life and how the world is made to see THEM speciffically suffer...even though no one cares, crying, never saying theyre indie...because thats just not indie, not ever listening to a band played on the radio or that more than 3 people have heard of even though they all listen to the beatles, and overall just being indie.
Indie music is good...sometimes... but this whole cult of indie-nazis needs to go. So if you listen to this music im sorry if i offended you, unless youre an indie kid in that case...get off urbandictionary.com because more than 4 people have heard about it...YOURE SUBSCRIBING TO POPCULTURE...HURRY...RUN... hopefully no one saw you on this site or else your indie reputation is done and you will have to write 20394 poems without sleep over a course of 3 months in the shower with no water to reclaim your indie status.

"Oh f*ck Im so indie i stare at the sun and pray for death"
"Oh f*ck Im so indie i take showers with my clothes on and write poetry"
"Oh f*ck Im so indie every time someone talks about pop culture I run to my room and cry for an hour"
"Oh f*ck Im so indie i dont eat meat because cows have feelings, but mainly because they're not indie enough for me to consume because they're all conformists, with their black and white"
"Oh f*ck Im so indie that one time i found a 100 dollar bill and used it to give myself papercuts because purcahsing with money is sooo conformist.
"Oh f*ck Im so indie i walked into a room with 3 people in it and proceeded to walk out because one of them was wearing sneakers"
