adj, adv. Awesome, indie, cultured, deep, alternative, counterculture.
In order to be considered indiecool,
one must be cultured, appreciate great ideas, and know a lot about something (veganism,
HP, theatre,
politics, etc).
Indiecool activities include, but are not limited to: reading literature, listening to indie music, utilizing an extensive vocabulary, dressing up in themed outfits by era, cooking vegan food, having an e-crisis, appreciating great thinkers, being eco-friendly, promoting human rights and equality, viewing museums and art galleries, drinking coffee and/or tea, being ironic, debating, analyzing everything for philosophical messages, enjoying class and planning to get/having a university degree (unless you're a starving artist).
Indiecool occupations include, but are not limited to: starving artist, egalitarian
politician, jazz musician, craft blogger,
history professor, United Nations translator, Geek Squad
guy, bartender, librarian.
When not questioning their own existence or the absurd, indiecool kids occasionally have their own current of personal elitism. They may condescend on mainstream, hedonistic activities such as clubbing, listening to rap music, accepting the
world without query, and blatantly copy-pasting
wikipedia text into powerpoint presentations.
- What are your plans for this weekend?
- Well, I thought I’d check out the Andy Warhol exhibit with my VIP membership to the museum before heading off to the protest, where I will dress like a
hippie, write poetry on my Macbook and vlog.
Maybe if I have time, I’ll finish Le Deuxieme Sexe.
- You are so indiecool.
- What are your plans for this weekend?
- Well, I’ve realized that I’m going to die eventually, so I thought I’d just hide in a dark room and think about that. Maybe if I have time, I’ll reread archived A Softer
World comics and
cry.
- You are so indiecool.
