indie music 

Should be used to describe any unsigned artists or strictly speaking, those signed to an independent record label -- where the term 'indie' originates.
Instead it is synonymous with the flannel and skinny jean-wearing baby-faced musicians, fitting into the "hipster" subculture, whose testicles are yet to drop. Their instrument of choice is either the acoustic guitar or the keyboard, that adds to their limp and poncy sound.

A: "Do you like indie music?"
B: "Yeah"
A: "What is your favourite indie band?"
B: "Anal Cunt"
A: "Aren't they metal?"
B: "Well they have been signed to independent record labels throughout their history, so they are indie"

Indie Music 

A band that sucks so bad they're not good enough to get a label.
Indie Bands will often think they're unique and breaking the mould when the only unique thing about them is they suck in a totally different way each time and the only thing they break are the ears of the people unfortunate enough to hear it.
Indie Bands often think they can shred a guitar like Eddie Van Halen just because they've seen a ShitKnot video.
It should also be noted that they think they're the first bunch of nimrods to use social networkng sites to plug their insult to music.

Indie Music euphamisms:

Indie Band: we're Indie because we hate how music is commercial, and we don't want to sell out, because we don't want tons of money.
What They Really Mean: We suck so hard, no-one would give us a label in a million years, we'd sell out if anyone actually liked us, and we only say we don't care about money because we couldn't sell our tripe to a bunch of deaf idiots.

Indie Band: We're unique, we're like nothing ever before.
What They Really Mean: Like every other crap band, we whore our music out to 11 year old emo kids on social-networking sites and we look so cool, despite not even being able to spell HTML, let alone code it.

Indie Band: We have tons of fans, and everyone likes us.
What They Really Mean: We send out random invites on social networking sites, and even though we have 500,000 friends, no-one actuallys knows who we are or likes our stuff, and our gigs are more vacant than George Bush's head.

Indie Band: We're the next big thing, and we're gonna' make it big.
What They Really Mean; we're a carbon clone of every other social-networking site band, and will fade into obscurity and we're so stupid that we'd be lucky to get a job at McDonalds cleaning the toilets with our tongue.

Indie Music 

Pretty bad music.

Every indie band sounds so much alike that all the musicians are interchangeable.
Indie musicians aren't very good at playing their instruments and probably learned all that they know from The Beatles.

Werewolf by Cocorosie

"Wow, that song Werewolf really speaks to me, I love her voice. I really think that song is what indie music is truly about"

"Really? Well then you must literally know nothing about music as it is nails on chalkboard. But whatever, we all have different opinions. I just think that a line should be drawn somwhere..."

Really cool music that you wouldn't typically hear on the radio.

indie music 

Sub standard music + hype + fashion/fad = Indie

The music is repetitive, simple and stolen from the past.

The fans think it's the best music of all time, not knowing that the above is true.

And of course, there are tonnes of the fans because who in being 'individual', are all the same.

Indie Kid "I luv the Kooks, they're so original!11

No-one has EVER done guitar-based pop about girls before!!

Indie music is breaking all trends!"

Someone with more than one braincell "It IS a trend, you feckless tit"

indie music 

terrible music written by british people with man buns, whiny over-ennunciated london accents and jazzmaster guitars. They all think their music makes them different, but it is this very attitude that makes modern indie all sound like superfluous samey drivel. The fact that this stuff is labelled as rock is depressing enough in itself.

person 1: You heard the new 1975 song? Its an awesome piece of original indie music!
person 2: You mean the new 21 pilots song?
1: oh
2:oh

Indie music is god-awful music. the bands seem to think that being popular is bad. boring riffs, boring, drums, no bass, and really bad singers. this music is straight bad. the bands always have to have obnoxious names that start with "the" and then 3 unrelated words. oh and concerts are "shows".

Indie fan-"hey i heard The unborn trash machine" is going to have a show, but i prefer "the kingdom of toxcity" and "the hairy gumperts" are good too. they are the epitome of indie music.

Indie fan 2-"aww man "the plural nouns" are really good compared to "the running away" but "the many horses" are fantastic. "the of montreal" is great.

Metalhead- "FUCK YOUR SHIT, FUCKING CRYPTOPSY, INDIE MUSIC SUCKS BALL SACKS"
