indie

some lame people came up with a label for being an individual and somehow managed to relate it to independent music which is stupid because independent isn't a genre. I know I know. you really believe it is. since when are independent rap artists and independent rock bands under the same category? get lives.

normal person: what kind of music do you listen to?
moron who wishes he was indie: oh I'm into bands of the independent persuasion
normal person: oh okay. so have you ever heard of 'you are a sadass liar'?
moron: not since they went mainstream. what a bunch of pathetic sellouts.
normal person: yeahhh.

Indiepunk

indie punk is true punk. bands that aren't all about teen angst and acting "bad ass". some one who is an Indiepunk doesn't always wear black cloths,eye liner and leather jackets. the cuteness of an indie an the toughness of a punk. True Indiepunkers may listen to Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Death Cab For Cutie, She Wants Revenge, the Strokes, Bloc Party or any thing they like cause their individuals and WILL NEVER CONFORM! (this is not a label so be who every you want you Indiepunk rocker!)

Indie boy

Boys between the age of around 17 to like, 28 who have learned to somehow appear superior to everyone else. They wear a variety of different clothes, contrary to the stereotype of skinny jeans, chucks, cardigans, and tight vintage t-shirts. The stereotypical 'indie boys' are most likely posers. True indie boys wear semi-forgotten, common and sometimes even mainstream items in an ironic way that, even though he is wearing something that everyone else wears, he brings an air of individuality. Items may include Sperry's boat shoes, baseball hat, holiday sweaters, dress shirt, leather belt, dad's tie, zip-up hoodies, Ray Bans, etc.
Unlike emos, scenes, and punks (if there are any punks out there anymore), indie boys do not pile shit up to prove to society their identity. They keep it simple and classy. Indie boys are indie boys, they don't need to prove anything; they've got an aura that says a thousand words, hence their quiet but strong presence.

bro #1: OMG is that an indie boy over there in the used book store?
bro #2: Ho. Lee. Shet. Yeah it is.
bro #1: Let's go observe and learn his ways.
bro #2: Imagine how many girls he gets a day!

indie rock

Alternative rock that largely rejects the machismo and polish of post 90's alternative rock and has a quirky, offbeat sound and sensibility that is mostly rooted in the underground and college rock of the late 80's such as The Smiths and the Pixies . Early pioneers in indie rock include Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Elliot Smith and Built to Spill. In the 2000's bands like The Strokes, The Shins, the Arctic Monkeys and scene veterans Modest Mouse have achieved mainstream success largely due to the internet and exposure on movies, TV and commercials. Contrary to popular belief the term "indie" does not necessarily have to refer to the record labels the bands sign to and in fact has evolved to refer to the DIY, non-commercial and "independent" approach to songwriting that has largely defined indie rock. The Killers, Coldplay, Keane and Radiohead are NOT indie rock musicians and Snow Patrol was only indie on there first album if at all.

The Shins, The Dismemberment Plan, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie and Fugazi are all indie rock bands due to their largely uncompromising and non-commercial approach to song writing and there offbeat sounds and sensibility.
