Refers to the surface level of indie music, it is for people that have just left the loop of mainstream top 40 music because of tiktok. Surface indie music fans think high of themselves as they think their music is uNdErGrOuNd or deserves more attention. They mostly prefer listening to individual songs on their chill out/aesthetic/pov playlists over albums. When you ask them to name their favourite artists, they can throw out a bunch of names. But in reality, they only know a few songs from each of the artists.
Typical examples include:
Clairo, Wallows, The Neighbourhood, Arctic Monkeys, Mother Mother, Mitski, Cavetown, Gorillaz, chloe moriondo, Mac DeMarco, girl in red, Nirvana, Beach Bunny, Chase Alantic, Cage the Elephant, Conan Gray, IDKHBTFM, Cigarettes After Sex, Sasha Alex Sloan, Lovejoy, Joji, Cuco, Glass Animals, Wilbur Soot, The 1975, Jeremy Zucker

Get the surface indiemug. The group decided that flash mobs were too overdone, so they performed a surface creep across the cafeteria floor and tables.

Get the surface creepmug. The act of lifting the upper bed on a bunk bed (lifting the top bed like Luisa lifts their house) and trying to take the bed off and carry it. Then, you try and you failed to because you are not strong enough.

Get the Surface Pressuringmug. The belief that something of close resemblance, popularity, or attraction holds more value or credibility than something else.

John: Going to Venus and possible colonizing it is far more plausible than colonizing Mars.
Jill: No way! The colonization of Mars has been talked about for decades and now Elon Musk is on board.
John: Don't succumb to surfacism Jill!

Tamra: You didn't give Terrence the job because he was black?
Andres: I thought African American's tended to be less productive, so I gave it to Kyle instead.

Get the Jizzing on the Sea Surfacemug. Someone who, instead of putting things away (ie: keys, purses, loose change, etc), puts them on any flat surface. The accumulation of such items usually results in the creation of a DOOM box.
"The dining room table is so cluttered with random items because my wife is a surface putter. I'm fixin' to make her a DOOM box."
