indie is just being independent and walking in school or a job and not like caring much about what other people think of you and u will talk to them untill they will tell you to fuck off and even then u wont really care much anyway. indie kids really listen to bands that no one really knows like the shins and other random stuff!
EMO KID; ohh im so sad :(
INDIE KID; so did u hear the new song from the shins?
EMO KID; ur not listening to me im going to cry over in that corner now!

The definition of Irony.
Originally 'Indie' referred to the independent music industry, now it's a label of people.

laneways drinking coffees
vintage stores
rollies
at gigs all the time
will usually wear fugly clothes because it's individual
bag other people for being indie

polaroid pictures are a must
doc martens
ripped tights
jumpers from the 80's
ecentric hair pieces
wayfarer sunglasses
etc etc etc

Not actually a musical genre. Stems from the meaning of independent labels, which can apply to any REAL musical genre, from punk to metal and their subgenres, to underground hip hop etc. Bands such as Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, The Academy Is, etc, are/were commonly labeled as Indie, but most bands that commonly fall into the "indie" label are actually just as easily (and correctly) labeled as art-rock or experimental.
Indie kids, however, are generally pretentious, stuck up (and by no means more educated/intelligent than anyone falling into another social group) copy-cats that think they know everything about music, movies, life, etc. One commonly sees them dressed up in earth tones with suspenders, sporting such "outdated" fashions as corduroy, and those slanted hats commonly associated with grandfathers and old-school newspaper boys.

indie labels: anything that is not funded/ran by large corporations and multinational businesses, even more popular labels such as Epitaph and Fat Wreck-Chords would be considered independent labels

Indie kid 1: "Hey Chuck, did you hear that new Arcade Fire CD?"
Indie kid 2: Uh, James, Arcade Fire sold out man, they aren't indie. But those are some nice suspenders you have. Let's philosophize about the affect of cheese on society."

Indie music is about grit, struggle, and everyday life, It is not about faggot students in pink blazers dancing to the klillers on a night out in a posh bar on their Mummy and Daddys wages, Franz Ferdinand is NOT indie, nor are the Killers, Bravery, Kasier Chefis ECT, theese are faggot student pop bands, indie is Oasis, The Stone Roses, Cast, Happy Mondays, Joy Division, Charlatans ECT
Student Cunt : Oh yeah, im so indie, ive just got the new franz ferdinand album, theres a really cool song on there about going out on mummys money in a pink blazer and dancing like a cunt.
Indie Lad: Ive just scraped enough money together to buy a copy of All Change by Cast and a few e's, i mignt be poor, but at least im real.

An elitist.
Most claim to 'just be themselves', but really STRIVE to be unique. They brag about how different they are.
They listen to bands no one has heard of to feel superior.
They also irrationally hate any other kind of people and music.
Extremely annoying people for the above reasons.
You really are not cool. You are NOT better than anyone else, and you're music is not better than any other. I'll be honest here; I've been called indie - and I might even be as I don't fit into any steriotype. But that's because I really do only do, listen to and wear what I like. I do not really like indie music that much - I like what I like; which can include all sort of stuff, but mostly varied forms of metal, rock and hard rock and also swing. I don't think I'm cool, especially not because I'm different - and I don't have to claim that I'm unique to make myself feel good or superior.
I'd also like to mention their is nothing wrong with emo music - though I do not listen to it much myself. Also, as was implied in another submission, Trivium and Cradle of Filth are not emo. Both are bands which I quite enjoy.

I'm indie; I'm so cool. I'm different and I only like things that no one else does - but thats really what I like of course. I hate goths and emos and chavs and preps and and genre of music other than indie.

A pretentious form of music for rich, image-obsessed students who see themselves as "intellectual" and think smoking and wearing tweed's cool because Pete Doherty does it.
Indie may be "cool" but it's fucking boring.
