A
stupid, ridiculous form of music and a movement that many Millenials are unfortunately attracted to. Basically, they like to claim that they are original artists. Or are doing something unique, new or original. In reality, their music is not at all original and is basically all around being eccentric and impressing
people. See: ostentatious. Many
people think that this is better than mainstream music; when in reality it is not even far from it, and is just another unoriginal subculture.
"Indie music" type of
people usually believe they are smart or bright and are usually left-wing or Libertarian.
In reality, they are all self-righteous people and are passive-aggressively preaching and pretending to be of a higher culture. And most of them are closet Marxists. Most of them are also vegetarians/
vegan types. (You know, those
lame New Age types that are pseudo-intellectual and mistakenly believe they are "enlightened", somehow.)
Indie music is for politically correct wannabe musicians ("hipsters:) who want to look hip or deep, when the truth is they are actually NOT these things; and are just another bunch of followers and unoriginal "original-copycats", just like everyone else.
(Indie is not to be confused for underground musicians. Indie and Underground are NOT the same thing.)
Indie music is for juvenile
people who just want to look artsy or creative. It's an even far worse counter-culture scene than Punk rock.
Indie music is the worst form of counter-culture music, just like Emo.
They have no understanding or
respect for roots music like Americana or Classical, either. Essentially, this makes them "non-musicians" - and they
don't even realize their music and lifestyle is a self-mockery and is actually feeding off them. See: lost cause They have a tendency to bash
people who seem ignorant of their culture or esoteric things. (i.e. so-called "Rednecks" and country music etc.) Ironically, Indie
people are the actual ignorant, arrogant and prejudiced
people. (And the
reality is, nobody significant actually gives a fuck.)
