Its not about how you look
its about how you think
its not about what you listen to
or what you wear
its about why you do.
Indie isn’t a 'look' or a 'style' it’s part of the way you think, independent from what the mainstream wants you to think (which would explain the love of political debates), independent from what Elle and Cosmo want you to wear this month, independent from what MTV plays, independent from labels and restrictions in general. Basically indie means following your own mind.
Meaning: if you listen to a song or wear clothes because it’s the latest chart topper or must have
and stop listening to it or wearing it because its "soo last month"
- you're not 'so-called' indie simply because you are obviously not thinking
independently, you follow what others prescribe, suggest, and do.
Therefore if you listen to indie bands and wear skinnys and scarfs
because you want to be indie then you are NOT indie, because you are yet
again simply following.
The only reason why I think there even is a ‘indie look’ is because all 'indie peeps'
think alike and shy away from labels and anything mainstream and commercial.
This of course does not mean that they never ever wear labels or like something
that is commercial it just means that if and when they do, it’s not because it’s a
label or whatever, but because they want to and they don't allow themselves to be
bound by some definition and set of do's and don’ts.
They think for themselves , they like what they want.

Trying to be an indie person contradicts the whole concept...
it's not something you can buy, its something you just are,
dressing in skinny's and oldish clothe's to be an indie person won't make you indie, it just makes you a poser.

Get the Indie Person mug.a person that does not seek nor understand the full depth of something and bases most, if not, all of their judgments, opinions, and beliefs on shallow, surface level observation and/or interpretation.
*two individuals discussing a music track*
level-headed person: the artist using a vocoder to do a guitar solo with his voice was very meaningful since it symbolized the audience's inability to truly understand his emotions despite his effort to express them.
surface level person: nah dude that shit was whack. it lasted 9 minutes and i couldn't understand the ending! plus i've seen the sneakers he sells and they are ugly!
level-headed person: it's not meant to be understood as verbal language, but as audible emotion. and what do the sneakers have to do with the song? can you at least be a bit specific about what you didn't like?
surface level person: the song is just trash!
