An indie kid is simply somebody (usually a teen) that does not fit into a mainstream stereotype. They are not exactly "defined" which is why they are indie. For example, they tend to listen to music that doesn't really fit into any genre (a.k.a "alternative") or music that is signed to independent labels. This is not to say that they only listen to rock/alternative - they listen to a wide range of music from many different genres.
Contrary to popular belief, indie kids are NOT pretentious twats who refuse to listen to anything on the charts, and they are not the same as "scene" kids.
Indie girls dress with a mixed style - they have elements of hippie, rock chick, girly or prep. Indie boys tend to wear graphic tops, jeans (straight-leg) and skater shoes like Vans, DC, Puma, Adidas, or Converse. Their hair has a sort of sexy bedhead "just rolled outta bed" look but they have actually spent some time styling it.
Indie kids are NOT scene/emo/goth. They are NOT pretentious. They are NOT snobbish. People who ARE these things, are just trying too hard, which is like the opposite of being indie.

Get the INDIE KID mug.A mix of Indie Rock, Post Hardcore, and Emo from the 90's. Died in the early 2000s when bands started mixing it with Pop Punk and Metalcore. It was softer than first-wave emo and had less yelling and the songs were usually 3+ minutes long. It was the most mainstream of emo, with Sunny Day Real Estate the only emo band ever on MTV and some indiemo bands had music videos.
Some good indiemo bands are Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas Is The Reason, The Get Up Kids, and Knapsack.
Jimmy Eat World was indiemo, but they changed to power pop/lame pop rock in the late 90's.
Emo has nothing to do with emo kids, and was around 20 years before term emo kids was invented. Emo kids like metalcore and pop punk, not emo.

An 'indie wannabee' is someone who wants to be 'indie' In most cases, these people were chavs before, going around getting off with every single lad in school and the all of a sudden, just to fit in with everything else, they claim to be 'indie'
These wannabee's try way too hard. The whole indie look is supposed to be laid back and not put on at all, whereas these wannabee's try way hard with their matching pumps, cardigans and highwaisted shit. Honestly, they need to get back into their 'ecko tracksuits' and stop trying to be indie.
Many 'wannabee indie kids' from the Coventry area, also known as Chaventry, claim to like The Enemy, a local indie rock band. Just because they like The Enemy, this apparently makes the all indie cindys. No, it doesn't. They need to be told.
"You wannabee indie cindys, please fuck off back to your street corner smoking your roll ups and drinking your wkd. You are not indie and never will be, no matter how hard you try, alright!?"

Get the indie wannabee mug.Even trying to describe an indie girl is fake. You can't because she's no one thing, she doesn't want a label, then she'd be constrained. She changes according to her mood, which is completely ephemeral just like her nature. Past definitions seem to be from indie girl wannabes and guys who have been hurt by indie girls or indie girl posers. APPARENTLY, I am an 'indie chick'. Someone called me that today and i had to look it up, what on earth is an 'indie chick'? She's usually hard on herself and extremely fragile under her seemingly tough and effortless being. She's feisty and sensitive, friendly and reserved or anything in between.
"I like your shirt."
indie chick: "Thanks it's just a sarong tied here and here."
"You're a cool chick."
indie chick: "Your just saying that because I cried."

Get the indie chick mug.a type of dance. Popular at the height of the resurgence of guitar-led groups around the turn of the Millennium (The Strokes, Libertines, etc), though still going strong today. It involves awkwardly dancing just about enough so as to avoid any attention based on correctly held assumptions of your character, principally that you would rather be sitting down and/or cannot dance. Often practised in bad clubs on cheap alcoholic drinks whilst not talking to pretty girls. It usually backfires when the aforementioned cheap alcohol really kicks in and you either try to talk to a pretty girl or start a mosh-pit to Blondie and are thrown out of the premises.

Dave was doing the indie shuffle to The Smiths "How Soon Is Now" whilst staring at a girl he had no chance with when he inadvertently spilt someone's beer and ended up on the floor crying like Morrissey in an abattoir.
