the coolest kids at your school. but you don't know them because they are too indie. They are the kids who constantly have headphones in there ears and even though the teacher tells them to take them out. Indie kids have the most rockin' style, it's not too G, or to trashy it's perfect because it's simple and they don't go around reppin' all the big name brands.

Get the Indie Kidmug. How is it possible to define an indie kid. This term indie kid is somewhat overused and individuals who profess to be indie are clearly conforming to mainstream culture. Indie is simply a term that is used in modern society to describe a red brick university student of the 1970s. They enjoyed wearing clothing that was not over ellaborate or attention seeking. There clothing collection was minimilast but often looked good because the rest of society were simply trying too hard to stand out from the crowd and in my opinion still do. They like discussing topics of an intellectual nature which include the arts, science, politics etc. There music taste is not pretentious just different with varying levels of obscurity. Idiots who spend time looking for obscure music on pitchfork are not indie. They are elitist and have no appreciation of varying musical genre's. There not better than the average person on the street but just more culturally aware and educated.
quite simply anybody who tells you they are indie are conformative and in the process are creating a paradox for the meaning of the word indie or independant.

1970s student (indie kid): Have you read lewis wolpert's new book on cell biology. It really simplifies such a complex field of biology.
Average person: Fuck off, your boring

Get the Indie kidmug. a teenager (usually) who prefers smaller bands too huge sell-out stadium rockers. Nowadays known for stage invasions and energetic bands. Generally thought of as an new thing, but has actually got roots to the eighties with the Smiths and Joy division etc. Wear small shirts and skinny jeans generally but you get variants as diverse as charity shop and the like (Larrikin Love example) and smart blazers and suits (Maximo Park). Called Indie as they like individual music and try to DIY everything.
Indie kid: I love Shut Your Eys and You'll Burst Into Flames and have tickets for their next 13 gigs.

Get the indie kidmug. To my understanding an indie kid is someone who is not afraid to show their individuality. Generally, they dress in vintage or thrift store clothing, wear moccasins, or really anything that isn't quite main stream.
They also listen to mainly music that is classified under "indie rock" or "alternative". Typically signed by an independent music label.
Some bands that they commonly listen to are Death Cab For Cutie( a band popular amongst others that aren't indie), Of Montreal, Little Man Tate, Bromheads Jacket, Mumm-Ra, ect.
Though, that is not the only music they listen to, and usually they aren't completely against large labels despite the fact that many people like to make it seem this way.
Don't confuse a true indie kid with a poser or hipster (if that is what you prefer to refer to them as)
Hipsters like to advertise their individuality by going against anything completely main stream

Indie Kid: Wow! I really love Milburn, don't you?
Hipster: Yeah, they are so indie and different! Not like that crap that Katy Perry tries to sell.
Indie Kid: Uhmm... Okay, I kinda enjoy Katy Perry as well.
Hipster: Well, her music is the same as everyone else's! You're not a real indie kid!
Indie Kid: Alright then.

Get the Indie Kidmug. Someone who isn't into most of the trends, but won't ostracize you for liking mainstream stuff. Are not hipsters, who are douches about blabbering on about the countless bands they can name. Rather, indie kids like counterculture stuff, but aren't vicious and venomous like punk kids or emos.
Indie Kid: "Did you hear the Nightbirds latest album?"
Normal Kid: "Um, who?"
Indie Kid: "Oh, there just a band I like. You should give em' a listen sometime. You might like them."

Get the Indie Kidmug. indie kids are kids who listen to bands and not all listen to the same music but we listen to music people say indie kids are kids who smoke and do this but that not true we skateboard or roller skate or even just sit in our rooms listening to music who stay true to yourself and be yourself and we don't care what people think about us or they're opinions we could care less honestly not all paint not all use cd's and paint them, the only thing you need to know is they love just love being themselves and if you say something bad about them don't expect them to say something again because them and i could care less what you say :)

Get the indie kidsmug. An Indie kid is a middle schooler or high schooler who is an intellectual, deep person who can appreciate art and other things that others may not. And because of this the kid is misunderstood and probably not popular. The word Indie in this context refers to Indie music which is defined by being thought provoking and intelligent but don't be fooled indie is a form of rock and often has electronic influence. Indie kids are most often artistic in one way or another. Wether it be music, drawing, painting or some other form. The Indie kid probably wears dark clothes converse shoes (aka chucks). But the indie kid really does not care what others think of his cloths. At this point you may be getting the Indie Kid Confused with hipsters. The main differences are age(hipsters are between 20 and 30). The other is fashion Hipsters are a lot more vintage with there style. Indies ware converse shoes to but don't let this confuse you. INDIE KIDS ARE A LOT LESS FASHION OBSESSED THAN HIPSTERS ANT INDIES PROBABLY DONT GIVE A SHIT.
Pop kid: Hey do you listen to Katy Perry
Hipster: Eww She Sucks I HAte HER

Hipster:hmm
Popstar:WTF
