Someone who is a granola-eating, hemp-wearing, pot-smoking, incense-burning vegetarian, who likes to quote Proust but doesn't really understand him, doesn't like movies but only likes "films", and will complain about the evils of capitalism but turn around and spend $500 on ugly glasses frames. Named after the bass player in a band who thinks himself better than the other members and doesn't really associate with them.
Oh, did you see that freak who ordered the gluten-free tofu stirfry? What an independent bass player.

Get the Independent bass player mug.moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that stresses "the moral worth of the individual".1 Individualists promote the exercise of one's goals and desires and so independence and self-reliance2 while opposing most external interference upon one's own interests, whether by society, family or any other group or institution.
Transcendentalists believe in INDIVIDUALISM and reject society's expectations but rather act independently.

Get the Individualism mug.
A person not corrupted by a "tug-of-war" ideology seen in partisan voter life. Someone who understands propaganda and how it is used in politics. Thus, they are not suckered into a side due to incorrect facts; shown only to sway the people who are too lazy to look things up themselves.
While most partisan fools will say independents are too "scared to pick a side", in reality, partisan voters are the ones too "scared" to stand up for what they truly believe. Instead of standing up for their own beliefs, like an independent, partisan voters allow themselves to be fed bullshit facts over the radio/T.V. by self proclaimed experts Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Ed Shultz, who's only goal is to make everyone think in the exact same way.
Independents think for themselves and understand that parties will only tear the country in half over their idiotic squabbling as George Washington himself predicted.

1. "Actually, if you do some research for yourself, you will see that n either radio host knows what they are talking about."
2."Well, I don't agree with everything the Democrats say, and I don't agree with everything the Republicans say; so I am my own independently thinking person."
3."Stupid independent.. having his own ideas when he should believe exactly what i do."

Get the Indisposed mug.A preteen/teenager who has an indie (independant)/rocker style.
Apperance:
Boys would usually have quite messy hair, which even though would probably be in some sort of side-fringe, would be nothing like scene/emo hair. Boys would also probably wear rocker jeans, converse and rocker t-shirts.
Girls would have wavy, rocker hair, also maybe in a side-fringe, but not like scene hair, which is usually high-lighted. They would wear denim skirts/jeans, rocker t-shirts and converse.
Personality:
Indie rock kids are usually happy people, that don't care what others think. However, some indie rock kids could be depressed, but they would still have the I-don't-care attitude.
Music:
Indie rock kids would listen to:
-> Rock (but not modern emo rock)
-> Indie
-> Alt. rock
-> Some alt.metal (but not emo/gothic metal)
-> Grunge
:)
