"Turn down that scarf indie music and take off that ridiculous garment around your neck, it's 79 degrees out here for chrissake", his mom yelled.

Someone who thinks a band is automatically "bad" or "uncool" as soon as they recieve the tiniest bit of success. They will ignore that "successful" band and then rush to Pitchfork or some other snobby music site to find some obscure band to replace them.
Indie snobs think that Modest Mouse became uncool when "The Moon and Antarctica" was released; when "Float On" became a hit, indie snobs had ignored the band for quite a few years.
However, you aren't an indie snob if you hate Death Cab for Cutie for showing up on the OC. All you have is common sense.

Indie kids are witty, intelligent kids that wear vintage clothing and like to differ from the norm. I'm not going to give examples of what they wear, because that pretty much defeats the purpose. They wear what they want, and don't give a shit what you think.
Indies are generally happy people, mainly because their music makes you feel like spinning around in a cirle while a smiling man in a white suit throws confetti at you. Indies are very un-emo due to this, and are constantly waging a war with the over-styled emo masses due to the fact that emos stole Converse.
Their attitudes are fickle, and can be passed off as pretentious or rude if you don't get to know them. The guy or girl that stands out and acts like he's better than you, occasionally throwing out a sarcastic comment or two, will usually just be a shy indie not used to being around the wave of pop-culture-people.

Pop-kid: Look at her, she's such a bitch.
Pop-kid 2.0: I know. What's her problem?
Indie Guy: Lay off, she's just a shy Indie Kid.

An extremely intelligent specimen that commonly dabbles in philosiphy, alternative-indie, culture, academics, humanities, art and the internet. The are usually very moody, sensitive, serious, observant, critical and cynical. They also usually find it hard to fit in with 99.9999999% of the people they know, because others commonly envy their intelligence in a myriad of areas. (NOTE: they are not interchangable with scenesters)
