The word "indie" can not be defined, depicted, or described. It has no meaning. Which makes it even more indie.
Dude, look at this girl's tumblr! She's so indie!
That is the most ambiguous statement I've ever heard.

a type of rock music, which is defined by the "independent" labels its published by. listening to indie music is often a badge of membership in certain hipster social circles. indie rock bands often evade commercial success (intentionally or not), but the instant they become popular with anyone not in the "in crowd", or they get air play on commercial radio, their old fan bases dissolve, accusing the bands of "selling out".
aside from sonic youth, every indie band i've ever listened to, has disappointed me

Indie, i believe is anything that is. It was once extremely underrated and now it has turned ino this giant mainstream scene of rich kids in the hills driving in there beamors and listening to the mouse or going home and watching "Garden State" affinity times. Oh well there will soon be a new scene out there for us to feast upon and then have it eaten and then shit out by some Hollister sporting surfer boys down in Hunington.
indie is what is in.

The hippest way of being hipster.

You're so hip that you can't call yourself a hipster (because hipster is soooo mainstream) so you call yourself indie.

Typical indies can be seen sporting their AE hoodies, invisible children bracelets, and toms as they spend hours studying for their next AP Government Exam.

Indies listen to music similar to that of hipsters but include bands they make up on their own, such as the Rotten Tomatoes. Some indies don't even listen to "bands" and have moved on to a totally different genre of music that isn't real but is conceptual and psychologically based.
I don't care if Colin is a hipster, because Abby and Cory are indie, thus making them ten times cooler.
