indie folk

Bands that combine indie rock/pop and 50's/60's folk music of artists such as Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. Early artists include Will Oldham and Elliott Smith. There are a lot of indie bands that have folk influences like The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie, however these bands are not considered indie folk since they are not traditional folk bands due to the use synthesizers and keyboards and strong elements of other genres such as grunge, power pop and psychedelic rock.
Bright Eyes, Elliot Smith, The Dodos and Iron and Wine are all indie folk artists.

Indie Cindie

The female version of an 'indie kid', or 'indie limey'. Most often seen wearing polka dots and large bags over one shoulder. Also they might have messy 'bed hair' and perhaps wearing what's called an 'indie band' across their forehead, over a large sweeping fringe. Awkwardness and nerd-fashion is a must when it comes to indie cindies. Think Topshop when you think indie cindies; the style originated from shops like that, when girls began creating 'unique' fashion.
A Hadouken! song 'That Boy That Girl' has the lines "That girl's an indie cindie, lego haircut and a polkadot dress." in it.
Cassie from the TV series Skins is a good example.

Indirect compliment

When some jackass is too afraid to say how they feel about somebody,so they use urban dictionary to do it without anyone knowing they said it.
An example of an indirect compliment would be:

Steve
The sweetest guy you will ever meet who is full of love and blah blah blah lots of random biased feelings about their imaginary boyfriend.

Seriously, if you right something like this on urban dictionary, then you are sad and pathetic.
