Not a very noble pursuit at all; living every breathing moment to go against the "mainstream." The major flaw in this logic is that in trying so hard to go against the mainstream, indie kids act according to what everyone else is doing. Your not very hip when everything you do results in stooping to the level of the so-called mainstream that you feel so superior to.
Indie Kid: "My music is better than yours, I make my own clothing, I'm a spiteful little bitch, and other such bullshit..."

The popular new buzzword describing slightly off-beat music and movies that cost less than 4 million dollars (but generally more than 1) to make regardless of whether or not the album or film in question is independent of anything. See also Alternative.
And idiot would consider the films Garden State, Adaptation, or Sideways to be "indie." That idiot might also stupidly assume The Killers, Radiohead, or The Pixies to be "indie."

bands-q and not u,ratatat, stills, explosions in the sky, les savy fav, pavement,broken social scene
stands for independent, accociated with the scene which is a bunch of people who think they are cooler than one another. either a type of music or a type of label given to a person. Indie people never call themeselves indie or there not indie, there posers even though everyone already is one besides the first person who listened to an indie band which is usally there mom. yes the bands mom is more indie then you, im sorry.

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.

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.
