A dated pejorative slang term denoting Chinese origin. The term has largely been forgotten by political correctness and awareness of global peoples, but has resurfaced to describe consumer items and articles manufactured in China. These items are of poor or inferior quality or considered to be disposable - particularly when those items replaced higher quality items or ones with greater expectation of longevity. History shows that manufacture of these items may employ practices banned in or deemed hazardous by other nations, for example, adding melamine, an adulterant which may be poisonous to certain individuals or in certain concentrations, in order to fraudulently increase the protein levels of foods, or painting toys with lead-based paint.
These items are imported to the detriment of domestic workers and domestically produced items. Retailers and corporations counter that domestically produced materials would be significantly more expensive and that consumers would be unwilling to pay the cost differential, thereby harming their profit margins.

Get the chinkie mug.
A Chindie who wears Northern Soul bags/hoodies because they are "individual" & "in". They actually have no interest in that kind of music, and alot of the time don't even know what it means. Unfortunatly, this has made people who actually do like Northern Soul unable to wear the clothing, unless they are willing to put up with 'Chindie!' being shouted at them all day.
Northern Soul Chindie: C'mon, guys! Tell me what the logo on my hoodie means!!
*Real Northern Soul fan walks past*
Actual Chindie: "CHHIIINNNDDDIIEEEE!!"
Real Northern Soul fan: *Sighh* :(
Chindie McChinderson: I have no idea what Northern Soul means, but I have the bag.

Get the Northern Soul Chindie mug.Chindie kids are chavs that try to be indie.
They loves skinny jeans, cardigans and plimsoles. Their idea of indie music is the kooks.
They also keep their eye open for new indie trends that they may never have heard of and obsess over the few indie kids they may know.
They grow a sudden love for art and fashion, but by fashion they mean reading teenvogue and copying the outfits of Alexa Chung or floral skirts with vest tops.
They're also taking over Urban outfitters. Well they can't really afford the clothes from there, but they sit on their website all day long :)

Get the Chindie mug.The word Chindie, is a mixture of the words Chav and Indie put together. A Chindie, is basically a chav that dresses up like an indie would. Often caught wearing chinos, vans/toms, and snapbacks, Chindie's are popular with the girls, despite being Sheep and extremely overrated in general. The Chindie trend is most popular in the UK. Some Chindie's are even found proforming the faggoty dance Jerking, and wearing skinnny jeans to match. Most Chindie's take a liking to expensive designer brands such as 'Gucci' and 'Louis Vuitton.' However, these designer brands are not but into the Chindie class, as their products can be worn by all sorts of people. Overall, most Chindie's are boastful, overrated, sheep, and all round arseholes.
Person One: "Why the hell is that guy wearing chinos and toms? He looks like a chav to me, indies wear that sort of stuff."
Person Two: "It's because he's a Chindie."
