There are several key components to being an indie kid.
1: Listen to a million bands that no one has ever heard of. The less well-known they are, the cooler you become. Nothing makes you cooler than rattling off a list of obscure indie bands to someone slightly less hipster than you are. Remember, all well-known bands are sell outs.
2: Commit yourself to being different, specifically for the purpose of being more hipster than your peers. Good ways to be different include wearing flannel shirts, having shaggy hair, and making Juno-style, sarcastic jokes. Basically, just look and act like a hipster.
3: You ARE better than everyone else, and make sure they know it. Be sure to roll your eyes at anyone who doesn't know of all your obscure indie bands. Be sure to brag about the books you read and your favorite wine. Be a pretentious snob.
4: ???
5: Profit!

Not a very noble pursuit at all; living every breathing moment to go against the "mainstream." The major flaw in this logic is that in trying so hard to go against the mainstream, indie kids act according to what everyone else is doing. Your not very hip when everything you do results in stooping to the level of the so-called mainstream that you feel so superior to.
