A person who dresses similar to what some may see as "scene", but do not agree with certain trends of the "scene" such as stripes in the hair, extensions and crazy teased hair held by loads of hairspray. Most indie-core kids will have lip piercings, but it is unusual for them to have piercings all over the face. Indie-core kids listen to mostly indie music, electronica, metal and rock rather than death metal, screamo, grindcore and hardcore music.
Ann: That girl is so scene, look at her snakebites and tight jeans!
Lizzie: Are you kidding me? She's so not scene, she's indie-core!

Get the indie-coremug. What an indie kid calls another indie kid, who has a different taste in music then that indie kid. Or If the indie kid likes a different cd from said indie band.
Please see the example below as it will explain by example of how another kid calling out an Indie Poof. Please also realize the irony.
If you are an Indie music fan, then by default, if you do things like below, you too are an Indie Poof.

God, I fucking hate Indie Poofs, Honestly.
My gf has this guy-friend who is such a fucking indie prick it's not even funny. He's obsessed with all of that Elephant 6 bubblegum neo-psych bullshit (Of Montreal, Neutral Milk Hotel, Apples in Stereo, etc). Well not only does he think Black Foliage is The Olivia Tremor Control's best album (when it clearly IS NOT, JESUS CHRIST), but he thinks Of Montreal's best work is their FUCKING FOUR-TRACK COMPILATION. I've heard some of the songs off of that album, and it blows. It's so fucking repetitive and self consciously bubblegum that it makes me want to vomit. What's even worse is that now he has my gf liking Of Montreal's 4 tracks and all of that stupid indie shit.
I wonder how the fuck people like that are considered fully functional human beings.

Get the indie girlmug. one who takes a relaxed approach at opposing the mainstream; has the unnoticeable characteristics of one of the "indie" scene, but also will join any form of opposition to the mainstream. such indie punks may find themselves contradicting themselves, as hipsters and punks tend to be the two opposing sides of non-mainstream culture.

Get the indie punkmug. ok so i know there are heaps of definitions on here but they're not all true.
maybe indie kids are interested in indie/alternative music because the lyrics and the songs are more meaningful or they just like them more. but that doesn't mean they spend the whole day online looking for unknown bands
a lot DO wear vintage clothes/acid wash jeans/headbands/... but not ALL.
i'm not saying that if you do you're just fake
but if you don't it doesn't mean you're not indie
being indie is more about appreciating the music and being yourself. not caring what other people think.
and indie kids generally don't like people who are trying to be indie because it's becoming "cool"
you can see the difference between a real indie kid who's just being themselves and a wannabe

wannabe indie kid: oh my gosh one of my indie friends sent me a really awesome song last night.
indie kid: cool. who's it by?
wannabe indie kid: this band.. called franz ferdinand or something?
indie kid: that's not indie you know. that's just a mainstream pop song that was given the label of indie by the record company
wannabe indie kid: what do you listen to then??
indie kid: umm.. bonaparte, auletta, black kids, late of the pier,...
