indie

A genre' of music as well as a 'fashion' and part of an individuals personality. Most 'Indie' people consider themselves the gurus of music and that their genre' of music is the only one able to be appreciated as 'real' music.

Indie's give off a very elitist asshole attitude which is unbelievably annoying.

They claim to only listen to 'underground' music that isn't widely popular or common, which is contradicted by bands like Radiohead or artists like Adam Young from Owl City.

According to Indie kids, Adam Young is a sell-out?

Basically, if you're an artist who makes money, you are no longer considered popular amongst Indie kids.

Also, Indie people like to put themselves above the other social status of 'Emo' although they appear to be insanely similar, besides attitude. Also, 'Scene' kids seem to differ from Indie. Basically, you have to be a total douche bag to be an Indie kid who likes to put themselves above everyone else because they have a depressing home / school life and they've mastered the art of alienation.

In essence, an Indie = Emo / Scene without the whining emotion, and more of a stuck-up princess attitude.
Person: Hey, a friend told me you liked Modest Mouse?

Indie Kid: Not anymore?

Person: How come...?

Indie Kid: They're sell-outs and totally unoriginal...don't talk to me about 'good' music.

Person: ...I see... O.o lol?

indie kid

one who exploits ideals for fashion.
does not dance at concerts
sports retro beard and loves to ride bikes
no sense of self, only do and believe what other indie kids do and believe. they love "green" shit, but never do their research and don't really notice if it's made in Chinese sweat shops, they do it because its cool.
fad hags.
they wear vintage because it's cool, and try to look and be poor instead of being grateful that they are actually quite well off.
to see an indie kid move to Portland Oregon or find some secret underground band that no one knows about, then when the music is playing, just stand there.
don't forget to bring your "spirit animal"

Integra

A car that is also used to get people from point A to point B. It comes in various models from the LS to the GSR. There is a type R model for the people who want to travel with a little more style, after all it does come with a sports package. However, it's not meant to be modified due to the fact that it has no torque, and even if it was turbocharged, it would still run mid 13s-15s (I have proof)
*At the track*

Ahmed:Man check out that Integra Type R, it just ran 14s and it's turbocharged!?
Chuck:What can I say it has no torque.

Indie Kid

Indie Kids are essentially the anti-emo.The Indie Kid is at war with the emo because the scum of the earth stole our Converse and made it a symbol of being a twat who likes to take 20 million self shots in the bathroom while covering one of their eyes with their over conditioned hair. Unlike the rather good-looking shoe that it once was.

Another difference between Indie Kid's and Emo's is that we are usually happy, whereas an emo would probably be crying on his own in a dark corner. The main reason we stay happy is because our music does not tell us to slit our wrists or pile on the burdens of other people.

Indie Kids are called Indie Kids because of the music they listen to. Not because of the clothes they wear.

Indie is also it's own genre of music. Not a sub-genre of rock. Although many bands have chose to form cross-over genres.
Indie Kid: Just listened to some Pegasus Bridge. OMG those guys make me happy.

Emo: Just listened to My Chemical Romance. I might just go kill myself.
