short for independent music.
contrary to what most people say about indie kids, they're actually very nice people.
there are a few indie kids who look down on others because of their "exclusive tastes in music and culture".
but generally, most indie kids are "indie" because they are INDEPENDENT and dont care what others think. they're nice people who will hold a conversation with anyone about anything, not just music.
not all "indie kids" have wavy hair and wear converse. indie is whatever you want it to be. its about being true to yourself and the things that you truly enjoy.

Mainly consisting of high school and college students, Indie is a current and very popular social group among the unpopular social groups.
Usually characterized by local or obscure music, eclectic clothing from thrift stores or the nearest Urban Outfitters, and constant bickering between one another on which bands are becoming too mainstream.
If you are considering becoming an indie kid, be prepared for many long arguments over various books, movies, music, paintings, and obscure pop culture icons between other members in the group. Oh, and be prepared for hearing loss, as you will be expected to attend many local shows and concerts.

"Hey Jane, how was the Cavil At Rest show last night?"
"It was good, but their newest song sounds so mainstream,, Like they are changing their sound so they will get a record deal"
"Isn't that a good thing though? I mean, doesn't every band hope for a record deal?"
"Not Indie. Its about the music, not the fame."

Although often defined as a certain musical category, technically indie would apply to all types of music without a record label. So a person rapping on the corner of a steet without a record label could easily be considered indie just as some weird obscure band. But most people are dumb and dont realize this, so the word indie in general usually applies to rock bands no one heard of.
Lame Biter Bitch: what type of music do you listen to?
Me: what ever i feel like.
Lame Biter Bitch: so like whats your favorite band?
Me: um, modest mouse i guess.
Lame Bitch: oh, i listen to indie, like boys like girls.
Me: you are a dumb bitch. that did not make any fucking sense.
Me: what ever i feel like.

as a mindset, a movement that revolves around choosing music, clothing and general culture based on their individual benefits and 'pros' so to speak; also could be incarnated in one who isnt overly pretentious because of someone else's opinions. Not to be confused with indie yuppies who are typically malinformed rich white kids, elitist about their tastes whilst not quite having the intellect to back up their own opinions.
typical indie attitude towards daily happenings:
I like the shins based on the atmosphere that their songs give, and the way in which they alter my mood, not just because i saw them on garden state.
This brand isn't particualrly 'cool' but i like this shirt so i will buy it and not fuck around because someone else doesnt

Indi is sweet caring and her eyes can be mistaken for jewels. Her personality can be described with 3 words, everyone, loves, her. She has a smile that can cure even the severest of depressions. Her voice is sweeter than an angel, her dancing is better than Jagger, her acting of world class. She is destined for the stage. She is beautiful. She is all you could ever want from a human.

easily the best type of music ever, with stong and meaningful lyrics and a tune that doesn't make you want to cry, like Emo,
the libertines are indie
