Indie Kid

Listen to unmanufactured smaller labelled music - the blatently obvious bit.

they like bands such as : the strokes franz ferdinand and the cribs ( for those who werent too sure)

Many indie kids will quite easily be mistaken for an emo or scene kid - this is due to scene and emo's being newer groups, which have taken many indie attributes eg- drainpipes, blazers, polkadots and beads

Unlike emos, indies are happy and dont over do the hair ( too much spray/gel)

unlike scene kids, indies dont act childish or obsessive

indie kids can often seem arrogant, though many are not, and are actually very friendly people.

indie kids like to find bands that others have not heard of yet, and can get easily annoyed when people rave about that band once it is in the public eye (eg - arctic monkeys)
indie kids are generally quite smart and do tend to be well kept (like to look quite good, but not overdone)

indie kids like to be a little different, but more importantly like to be themselves.
i suppose myself, an indie kid would wear: drain pipe or straight legged trousers, and a blazer. my hair is parted, but not over done or covers and eye like an emo. i wear white trashed converse
but this is purely because there my favourite shoes and are so comfy because theyve been worn so much :)

a good example of a scene kid, would be very the same, but there hair would be much over done and they may wear make up ( boy ) there myspace will be well overdone, like be set out completely different and would have a good 300 friends, none of which they know, but would be other scene looking kids.

an emo : would wear either looser or drainpipes jeans and probably black converse, generally any colour but white. black shirts, infact as much black as posible, hair would be parted and go over there eye, and hair may be spiked at back. will be depressed and can be quite arrogant and morbid.

indie

a group or clique that is in every highschool, they are the definition of pure unadulterated suck age, they listen to different music every day of the week, they are the losers of the school united because they start getting into drugs, there will always be one kid who hangs out with the indie clique until the group thinks hes a psychopath just because he doesnt care about their shitty music, doesnt dress like them, and so they outcast him and the common bond that ties indie kids together is talking about that person behind their back.

Indie is fake, their not about the music their all about the scene, nobody in an indie clique actually understands anything about music theory so their opinions about music are literally null to anyone else.

Indie parties tend to be boring gatherings of about 10 people smoking a bong and passing around a blunt and talking about "philosophy" which if it is heard by anyone not under the influence will sound totally inept and possibly retarded...

indie is shit, indie is garbage, indie is not the new punk movement, indie isnt even a movement, its just bullshit, \

if you get angry at all or lose your cool with indie kids they will slowly but surely outcast you...

indie kids all want to start bands but they all disagree and have so many different and pretentious musical tastes that anything a group of these so called indie kids makes ends up sounding like shit...

even the bands that indie kids listen to which are bands like mogwai, modest mouse and the flaming lips, think indie sucks, because its a fruitless movement a waste of time,

the people that make the music that the indie kids listen to are usually the types of kids that the indie cliques outcasted and forgot about, because they werent chill enough,

that is the fatal flaw of indie,

indie is a trap...

and it will suck you in like a cheap whore. all you have to do is wear shitty clothes and smoke weed...
indie kid- man this new mogwai cd is the shit, look at us were so indie, haha that bitch mark probably wishes he was here, but hes not indie enough, besides i think he has an anger problem or bipolar or something.

mark- damn... my life sucks... all my friends are gone and have outcasted me, i think i'll write a song...

mogwai- god look at all these faggot kids, is this "indie" some new scene or something, fuck it, lets play our tunes and take their money, these bitches aint shit.

Werewolf by Cocorosie

"Wow, that song Werewolf really speaks to me, I love her voice. I really think that song is what indie music is truly about"

"Really? Well then you must literally know nothing about music as it is nails on chalkboard. But whatever, we all have different opinions. I just think that a line should be drawn somwhere..."
