Indie

Indie is the most boring version of rock ever to been played throughout Europe.
Indie-fans mostly wear second hand clothes and weird army caps.
they also tend to dance by simply going a step forth and then a step back, repeating the whole process for about 8 hours, or untill their club closes.
While still being just some spoiled middle-/upper-class-kids, they think of themselfes as being different of any other consumers (which they are not).
People who Listen to indie are always of caucasian background. there has never been any asian, african, southamerican Indie-fan or Indiegroup.
Indie-fans only like music that is the washed out and never contains anything more then the Amaj Cmaj Gmin Dmin Emin chords, or a slight deviation of those chords
If Indie were Food it would be a soup cooked just with water and flour with neither spices nor salt, also someon wood have spitted in that soup....
They Whole Indie Music focusses on music that takes all energy out of Rock leaving you with a boring -completly paralyzed brother of rock and roll
Bottom line INdie is mucialy speaking the most boring stuff on the world

just ask the kids who always look down on you and look like they have eaten a whole package of sleeping pills and find everything cute what they listen to
and u get a good picture of waht indie is

Short for independent.
Thanks to social norms and media, indie is overlooked from what it stands for.

indie boy: Hey, check me out cool eh?
me: Err..scarves,vintage tees,shades and polaroids your idea of indie?
indie boy: Yea its hip right?
me: right......

Indie

A misunderstood joke in the disguise of a "subculture". Really, Indie is a nostalgic trend that consists of black rimmed glasses, tight jeans, and God forbid those goddamned Red Beanies. In a nutshell, Indie is a derived term from the term "indie rock" where kids who aren't puss enough to be emo but too puss to skate.

Have you seen those Indie Kids with their tight jeans and red beanies? Damn they're stupid.

Indie

Indie is music for people who have scraggly beards and thick glasses, wear lots of brown, and never take their ipod headphones off. Found largely on college campuses, most indie kids think they are cool, but actually nerds in total denial about how much they suck.

I used to play Dungeons and Dragons and listen to Smash Mouth, but now I'm indie.

indie

Indie is a genre that allows people to pick u a cheap guitar, sing/talk in a nasal manor. In Britain it is popular to do this with a thick colloquial accent such as Cockney or Geordie. Indie is about being different, only in the same way as everyone else who is indie. Indies, as indie lovers are known, pride them selves on their openness to “new” music, so long as it sounds like The Clash or has a synthesiser badly played in an annoying 80’s manor all the way through it. The fast guitar solo was outlawed in indie in 1989. You can only be an indie guitarist if you have a tinny nasty guitar tone and play slightly out of sync with your drummer. Indie bassist died out in 1987 and so they are left with a computer putting in 1/8th note repetitions.
Indie fashion: It is Topman fashion that isn’t purchased from Topman or other such high street chains. Charity shop clothes are preferred however if you spent £70 on a pair of 1965 socks from Christies auction house that’s ok too.
In the indie world or the uk, NME tell you which bands to like and dislike, strict adherence to this is strongly recomended otherwise you may be seen to be disturbing the independance of indie

Pete Doherty is the king of indie.
the Axel Rose of Indie
Famed for not turning up at gigs, or when turning up being off his face. Fans love him for "the intimacy of the gig" (meaning only 5 fans turn up and the rest of band get pissed off and leave) and "the pain of his story" lets all turn up and feel sorry for a guy will be joining the 27 club.
Also famed for breaking into a bandmates house, stealing and selling his guitars for heroin.
Kate Moss and Pete Doherty king and queen of cool in theindie world! or so say NME
