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.

So awesome, non-mainstream in no way whatsoever. Someone that is indie does not follow the herd. You can not become indie, you are only born that way. To be indie is to not care about anything, but at the same time, to be above everything. Even this site.

A sub-genre of non-mainstream music recently brought into the mainstream with such bands as The Killers and Franz Ferdinand. Its fans tend to be the pickiest of any kind of music, rejecting any change in the sound or lyrical content of their favorite bands that makes them sound even slightly "mainstream." This form of music has thus gained a reputation of snobbery.
I would tell you about my favorite band, whose music I love, but you've never heard of it and thus you are not worth the telling.

A kind of imbetween of pikeys, chavs and goths. or anything. someone who has their own style and likes their own things in life. basically an INDIVIDUAL.
Someone who likes football, rock/punk music at the same time. may wear some chav brands like nike due to being needed in the sporting world.
