indie rock

it is rock music released on an independent label
take 2 bands and compare...the black keys and yo la tengo
do u see any similarity? no u probably dont. thus it isnt rly a genre

listening to indie doesnt make u unique or cool or special
if u like indie, it makes u just as special as liking classic rock, rap, blues etc...people should stop pretending they like indie rock bands, and listen to what they really like....
kid who doesnt know about music: "yea dude i got this new MM album, i semi like the way it sounds but dont appreciate the rly good hard work put into it. look everyone i like indie rock "

kid who knows his stuff: "w.e dude listen to wat u really like, ur wasting ur own time"

indiehead

adj.

Derived from the adj./band "radiohead." When one attempts to be/is a pretentious, all knowing, music lover; those who will describe a band by saying they sound like a band that you've never heard of. Known to have an extensive collection of vinyl albums. If you try to match wits with this person, there is no way that they will take you seriously. These people can usually be found in independent record stores. Their music taste is extremely exclusive, but within that genre, spans it's history. The word usually is intended to have a negative connotation, although in rare cases, can be used as a compliment.
That kid is thinks he's such an indiehead by buying only vinyl.

indie

Indie, i believe is anything that is. It was once extremely underrated and now it has turned ino this giant mainstream scene of rich kids in the hills driving in there beamors and listening to the mouse or going home and watching "Garden State" affinity times. Oh well there will soon be a new scene out there for us to feast upon and then have it eaten and then shit out by some Hollister sporting surfer boys down in Hunington.
indie is what is in.

Indie

The hippest way of being hipster.

You're so hip that you can't call yourself a hipster (because hipster is soooo mainstream) so you call yourself indie.

Typical indies can be seen sporting their AE hoodies, invisible children bracelets, and toms as they spend hours studying for their next AP Government Exam.

Indies listen to music similar to that of hipsters but include bands they make up on their own, such as the Rotten Tomatoes. Some indies don't even listen to "bands" and have moved on to a totally different genre of music that isn't real but is conceptual and psychologically based.
I don't care if Colin is a hipster, because Abby and Cory are indie, thus making them ten times cooler.

Indie Kids

A child who follows what they are told through the 3 divine indie mandates, NME, The mighty boosh and Radio 1.

Generally dressed in awful clothes that are too thing, short or smell like piss. Love to go to concerts where everyband name begins with the word "the" whilst telling everyone else there that "I knew who they were before you ALLL".

A step above scene but a step below chav, however indie kids will have characteristics of both social groups such as stupid fringes and inability to interact with other normal people.

Most likely spotted at a kings of leon concert giving devil horns and saying "omg this is the best shit ever, I wish I could play that bland 2 chord song on my guitar". Whilst us normal kids are pounding your girlfriend and getting her pregnant.

Most likely to insult metal, rap or rock and roll but have no valid reasons as to why it's bad.. generally listen to dull 2 chord songs which all revolve lyrically about being in love with someone who doesn't love you anymore because you took too long to tell them about your love and they are now in a relationship with someone else, most likely your best friend... the girl will be called something stupid like "rose" or "ruby".
Indie kid: You like shit music, I love the Arctic monkeys because nobody has heard of them

Normal: Never of heard of them probably because they're shit?

Indie kid: NOOOOO YOU DON'T GET IT

*2 weeks later*

Indie kids: Arctic monkeys are shit, everyone likes them now.
