Kids between the age of 13-22 who are full of themselves and feel superior because their music isn't mainstream and who will bash anything that's mainstream, even if it's something good. They tend to be arrogant and rude, and they think that they are just the coolest shit ever. They only listen to indie music and are hypocrites because while they bash the scene kids, they too all fall into a similar style by wearing tight jeans, faded colors, and converse. They also like short, dark hair for girls and longer hair for boys.
Indie-pop and indie are two majorly different things to them. Tell them that you like The Ting Tings or New Young Pony Club and they will laugh at you like the judgemental bastards that they are because that is not REAL indie you idiot.
They are way too caught up in music and it's their entire life. They will only be friends with you if you like their music, otherwise, no matter how friendly or funny or charming you are, they will hate you simply because of your subjective taste.
However, if you do manage to befriend an indie kid, it can be good because if they like you they will defend you to the death. They also can introduce you to lesser-known bands that will be forgotten in ten years and help you embrace the 'vintage' style of old plaid shirts and color palletes of gray and brown.

Person: Hey did you hear that blink 182 are getting back together and touring with Fall Out Boy? Isn't that great?!
Indie Kid: Tch fuck both those bands they suck and they're unoriginal and mainstream and I hate them even though I've only heard two songs from each on the radio and it will ruin my awesome indie kid image if I admit to even respecting or acknowledging them as artists.
Person: Well uh, they both kind of invented and furthered the pop-punk genre and will probably be remembered ten years from now so...uh what bands do you listen to?
Indie kid: -some random band that has ten hits on myspace and hasn't even released an EP- Fuck off so I can listen to my band without having to listen to your mainstream shit clogging my ears. You're a horrible person for liking certain music and I hate you even though I've just met you GOODBYE.
That's indie kids for you.

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
*2 weeks later*
Indie kids: Arctic monkeys are shit, everyone likes them now.

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.

I'm not completly sure what an indie kid is, but, they, if they are anything like me, and i don't consider myself indie in the slightest, but if they didn't care about how they appear to other people, they probably wouldn't write about it on urban dictionary.com. I thought they were shy? And probably wouldn't want to be written about.
