Indie ponce is the term used to describe an adolescent male who believes he is the ultimate indie character. This may be due to fashion, musical talent or general behaviour, most of the times all of these come into consideration. Usually an indie ponce has a select group of friends, which all adore him and believe that he is, in fact, the ultimate indie figure, but rarely has the indie ponce got any friends outside of his small circle.
Common traits:
Style: Skinny jeans, Pointy shoes, cardigans, most often very skinny in physique, most commonly to have a tattoo of either song lyrics or poetry in Latin or Italian.

General Behaviour: Generally of Public school background, will always be in a relationship with an indie cindy, only ever drinks Jack Daniels and Coke, believes that ‘being spotted’ is key to everything.

A genre of music that is pretentious, art-focused indie rock. Fans of jerk indie usually include hipsters and art school students with black rimmed glasses.

Mainly teenagers who all share a common love for the arts and music. They listen to many bands most people haven't heard of and tend to dress however they want, usually ruling out the rules of fashion. One may see these "indie kids" in a local coffee shop, art gallery, or thrift store. These people aren't "emo". They also tend to wear warm neutral tones as opposed to black. They are fairly reserved and tend to be open minded as well as opinionated.
here are some examples of what indie kids look like and listen to:

Someone who strives to be a indie/hipster but in reality they don't know anything about the genre or way of life. They claim to know indie music when in reality their main source of indie are websites that feed them what they claim to be the "best indie around". They are constantly harassing their real indie/hipster friends for music seeing as their findings are inadequate. They also claim to dressing indie and try talking about indie to others when they have no actual knowledge about the genre except what they've stolen from a real indie/hipster.

a contradiction of the butt, it is simultaneously large and nonexistent; while the butt is large (and often in charge) it is seemingly also flat, and is rarely, if ever, described as "bootylicious" although this may be an illusion of the silm leg jeans indie girls tend to wear.
A girl need not be fat to have an indie butt, in fact it is often the only aspect of the girl with any meat to it.

Okay, well, indie kids. first off, let me tell you how different the are from emo and scene kids. like, 20295823 miles off. emo kids are crying dark kids that didnt turn into indie kids after the early 2000's. (most indie kids were originally the 1990s emo kids, but thats a completely different definition than the new wave emo kids)
scene kids are rainbow wearing, makeup smearing kids who stick it to people unlike them, or slightly like them.
okay, so indie kids. i guess ill define them descriptivly if you want:
music:
of course, they listen to indie music, consisting of bands such as of montreal, owen pallett, casiotone for the painfully alone, and more bands that you've probably never heard of. more popular bands they listen to are the shins, the decemberists, bloc party, and of course, the beatles, david bowie, and talking heads.
personalities:
a mistake people generally make is comparing the personality lineaments of emo kids to indie kids. emo kids are depressed and want to cut themselves. indie kids are quite the opposite. yes, they are only human, so of course they get sad sometimes, but indie kids usually have an upbeat look at life. their music is usually happy, so that most likely has an effect on their moods.
indie kids mostly consist of liberals, and i have never ever seen a republican indie kid. they dont only hang out with indie kids though, but it is a nice plus to them to have friends that appreciate their music, and dont listen to 50 cent.
most indie kids enjoy books (most likely classics). also have a random obsession with some country such as the UK, France, New Zealand, Japan, etc.
appearance:
boys- highly fashionable, but not pretentious about it. they just like looking good. they are usually wearing either some creative outfit like red jeans and a dress shirt, or just jeans, skater shoes, an awesome graphic tee, and a jacket. hair looks like it hasnt been brushed in two days (not more than that though, they dont want to look gross). most likely no make up. if anything, a touch of eyeliner, but its not looked highly upon
girls- very pretty girls. either wavy hair or stick straight. bangs or side bangs are a must. hair can be randomly crimped too. it looks really cool. boots are worn, but rarely to school. flats and converse are for school. jeans are worn, usually straight leg, not skinny jeans. pretty shirts and jackets are worn, along with a little bit of jewelry. oh and headbands. dont ever forget headbands. makeup is not overdone.
basically, indie kids are misunderstood. they hate it when they are called emo or scene. they love discussing music, and love even more laughing at kids who listen to horrible music. they are usually very smart, and extremely witty. do not take it as arrogance. it is simply them expressing themselves
