Refers to the surface level of indie music, it is for people that have just left the loop of mainstream top 40 music because of tiktok. Surface indie music fans think high of themselves as they think their music is uNdErGrOuNd or deserves more attention. They mostly prefer listening to individual songs on their chill out/aesthetic/pov playlists over albums. When you ask them to name their favourite artists, they can throw out a bunch of names. But in reality, they only know a few songs from each of the artists.
Typical examples include:
Clairo, Wallows, The Neighbourhood, Arctic Monkeys, Mother Mother, Mitski, Cavetown, Gorillaz, chloe moriondo, Mac DeMarco, girl in red, Nirvana, Beach Bunny, Chase Alantic, Cage the Elephant, Conan Gray, IDKHBTFM, Cigarettes After Sex, Sasha Alex Sloan, Lovejoy, Joji, Cuco, Glass Animals, Wilbur Soot, The 1975, Jeremy Zucker

Get the surface indiemug. Indy is the biggest doo doo brain in history. She is the best friend anyone could ask for. She loves traveling the world and she loves going on crazy adventures. She loves waking up early and when she does she wakes up everybody else when she's at it. Her best friend is the best person in the world!
Indy is a doo doo brain.

Get the Indymug. A girl who at first seems really nice and geniune but in the end is a shallow cold hearted bitch that nobody ends up being friends with. She’s flirty and likes fuckbois but never admits it
