Refers to the Southside of Indianapolis; includes all of Franklin, Perry, and Decatur Townships , as well as the excluded towns of Southport Homecroft, and Beech Grove. Residents there are largely white and working class, however a large community of Burmese refugees of the Chin ethnicity lives on this part of town as well as fragmented populations of Hispanic and Black residents live there too. Area high schools include Franklin Central, Southport, Perry Meridian, Roncalli (a private, Catholic-run school), and to a lesser extent Decatur Central. The main center of higher education is the University of Indianapolis whose campus can be found at the Intersection of Hanna Avenue and Shelby street. Madison Avenue, US-31, and Meridian Street/ Indiana State Road 135 are the main streets that run north-south and tend to connect residents on this part of town to Downtown Indianapolis. Hanna Avenue, Thompson Road, Epler Avenue, Edgewood Avenue, Banta Road, Southport Road, Stop 11 Road, and County Line Road are the main streets that run west-east. Main points of interest include Garfield Park, Greenwood Park Mall , and as well as 1-2 Walmart stores. Not as bustling as other areas in or around Indianapolis (i.e. Carmel, Fishers, etc.) its still a good place to live in. Residents are called Southsiders.
(two friends spend a night in Downtown Indy)
Guy 1: hey man lets take Madison Avenue to Indy's Southside, I know a few pals of mine down there who can keep this party going all night.
Guy 2: What's even down there anyways, but the night's still young. Screw it let's go!!!!

Behind all the eyeliner, the gloves, the zebra striped leggings and the discarded t shirt, i could see beyond her indie kid dream.

Here's a real definition. My best friend is Indie and I'm emo
Indie kids befriend who they want to. I'll be honest most don't like SCENE kids. Because Scene kids generally steal their style. (Jackets, vintage tee's and what-not)
Now they listen to whatever they want, but it is mostly non main stream bands. They love anything independant, not sounding like everything else out there. Happy, not depressed (like screamo) or revolting (like rap)
They do have a unique fashion sense
Because
1) Everyone wants to be scene bright colored makeup overly done hair that exceeds it's limit
Way to many holes on their body and tattoos mostly of stars or guns or something overly trendy
2)Indie kids are very smart. They take pride in knowing what is actually going on in the world instead of the latest gossip on myspace.
They are fun loving and don't always shun people for not listening to their music and vice versa
My best friend listens to bands that I've never heard of but will listen to what I have playing in my car (Lorene Drive, etc)
Now everyone complains that they are stuck up but at least they aren't bitchy like scene kids that obviously follow a code of SCENEYNESS
And when you hang out with a group of people you're all going to dress somewhat alike

Indie kids=Read, write do something abstract and artistic very vintage and dont have to over do themselves with makeup and photoshop to look pretty
Emo kids= Emotional, sometimes dramatic but not always a cutter and not always depressed.
Scen kids= Overly dressed up emo kids, Photoshop and make themselves fake to look pretty colorful make up that should be left to raves only bitchy and egotisical

Indie rock is short for a rock band that's on independent record label. Its not a sound or a music style. The media has apparently confused or brain washed people who don't know what it is to start believing it is tho. Really since the 70s and 80s indie rock bands have gotten mainstream attention without being on a major label. Notable since the 70s to 2000s are joy division,the smiths,oasis,blur,the libertines,arcade fire. Which are all alternative. So when someone says its all the same or is a sound it makes no sense cause theres hardrock bands,heavy metal bands,punk rock bands and more different rock genres on a indie label.
Girl: have you heard indie rock like the killers,death cab for cutie,the strokes? they all have the indie sound. Guy: no those bands are on major labels and indie rock does not have a sound. But I love those bands. Girl: oh!

Indie's think they're all so fucking individual. Indie-viduality has become a scene, and all these indies are identical. They're always trying to be different but it leads to failure fashion on www.melbournestreetfashion.com.
You will find them, rolling ciggys, drinking coffee, drinking goon, riding bicyles, being vegeterian, having perfect vocabulary, saying darling, darling, darling, watching the Virgin Suicides, shopping at opshops and finding oh so fashionable outfits that your dead great grandmother used to wear cause its so vintage, having an extremely strange interest in the UK and everything about it, using polaroids or film cameras or fisheyes or just loving photography... Indie's listen to the Smiths, Joy Division and weird psychedelic shit.
they used to love lookbook.nu, they used to love black rimmed glasses, they used to listen to MGMT, but they became too indie for all of it. Indies will always hate anything in the top 20. Indies will always ask "WHAT IS INDIE?!?!?!" But they do know what indie is..

Someone who calls themselves or refers to their actions as indie, when in fact they couldn't be more basic white girl if they tried.
Normally the type who listen to The 1975 and/or radiohead.
