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!

Get the indie kid mug.Related Words
Elitists who often times try to make themselves look "different" and "mysterious". Listening solely to bands that you've never heard of and even dropping them once they make more than 50 fans. Each indie kid is "different" in the same way. They take part in such activities as going to concerts and crappy photography. There seems to be some sort of one-sided war between indie kids and scene/emo kids, but quite frankly, they're both nearly identical. The only difference is that indie kids are butthurt to be put under a label.
"Have you heard the new death cab for cutie song?"
"No way, I haven't listened to death cab since 2004, because they sold out and went to Atlantic Records, and true indie kids wouldn't listen to that"

Get the indie kid mug.Someone who is so cool that they cannot interact with the general public for an extended period of time in fear of being sucked in to the wave of pop-culture. Little do they know that they are the new pop-culture. Indie people are by definition, better than everyone else purely because they listen to music with the same things techno music is made with. Indie kids' favorite pastimes include crying, blogging (writing in journals), being in touch with their emotions (which is really just an excuse for the crying), carrying an elitist attitude, crying some more, being very liberal, talking about bands that no one has heard of, crying more, comparing bands with friends to see who knows more, wearing things that make them an "idividual" (really just things that convey their "im too indie for you to even talk to" attitude...these clothes can be found at any local Hot Topic store), crying some more, hating punk rock even though if it wasnt for punk rock there would be no indie music, hating everyone else, judging people based upon music, thinking they know everything, fantisizing about death in poetic fashion, compairing everyday meaningless events... to their life and how the world is made to see THEM speciffically suffer...even though no one cares, crying, never saying theyre indie...because thats just not indie, not ever listening to a band played on the radio or that more than 3 people have heard of even though they all listen to the beatles, and overall just being indie.
Indie music is good...sometimes... but this whole cult of indie-nazis needs to go. So if you listen to this music im sorry if i offended you, unless youre an indie kid in that case...get off urbandictionary.com because more than 4 people have heard about it...YOURE SUBSCRIBING TO POPCULTURE...HURRY...RUN... hopefully no one saw you on this site or else your indie reputation is done and you will have to write 20394 poems without sleep over a course of 3 months in the shower with no water to reclaim your indie status.

Get the indie kid mug.I'm not completly sure what an indie kid is, but, they, if they are anything like me, and i don't consider myself indie in the slightest, but if they didn't care about how they appear to other people, they probably wouldn't write about it on urban dictionary.com. I thought they were shy? And probably wouldn't want to be written about.
