Wannabe indie 

someone who thinks that by acting indie, they will be cool. in reality, they are not cool, and never will be, no matter how "indie" they become. This person harasses all their real indie/hipster friends, trying to steal their ideas, style, and music tastes, when really, they get their music from the latest episode of gossip girl, buy their flannels from abercrombie, and refuse to wear anything but real gold jewelry (preferably with diamonds or from marc jacobs). this person probably drives an audi convertible, but keeps her fedora in view in the rear window to up her hipster factor. this person spends their spare time googling "how to be indie" or having their friends take indie hipstamatic iphone pics of them to make their profile picture. If this person is a girl, she probably spends a lot of time complaining about white girl problems.

That girl is so indie, look out her in that dirty flannel...oh wait, is that from abercrombie? Is she listening to fall out boy?? What a wannabe indie!

Wannabe indie 

Someone who strives to be a indie/hipster but in reality they don't know anything about the genre or way of life. They claim to know indie music when in reality their main source of indie are websites that feed them what they claim to be the "best indie around". They are constantly harassing their real indie/hipster friends for music seeing as their findings are inadequate. They also claim to dressing indie and try talking about indie to others when they have no actual knowledge about the genre except what they've stolen from a real indie/hipster.

Indie Wannabe 

Someone who claims to be a massive fan of the big British guitar bands (plus The Strokes) despite only really knowing their greatest hits. Two years ago they were into The Kooks, Kaiser Chiefs and Dizzee Rascal.

They all idolise Noel Gallagher, have some fascination with Mod culture and all claim how they wish they were from Manchester and/or alive in the 1960s. They also think that owning the best of The Jam and The Who, and wearing Fred Perry makes them a Mod.

A lot have Tumblr accounts and upload black and white pictures of all their favourite bands just to show how Indie they are.

Because a fair few listen to Indie bands from the 70s and 80s such as The Stone Roses, The Smiths and Joy Division, they're so retro and individual compared to their peers who are all apparently Justin Bieber fans, despite how there are hundreds of Topman/Topshop clad poseurs just like them on Twitter.

The great irony here is that despite how they clearly think they're unique and proper Indie, their musical taste doesn't stretch beyond bands that have huge critical acclaim and have sold thousands upon thousands of records.

Oh yeah, they also tweet about how they hate mainstream music, as if the likes of Oasis and Arctic Monkeys are obscure cult acts who haven't released some of the biggest selling records in UK history.

Indie wannabe's twitter bio: Oasis - The Stone Roses - Arctic Monkeys - The Libertines - The Smiths - Miles Kane - The Jam - The Strokes - The Beatles - The Jam - The Courteeners - Joy Division - The Who - The 60s - Mod Culture - Mancs

Person: "So you're a big Indie fan, what do you think of Indie bands like My Bloody Valentine, Pavement, Super Furry Animals and The Flaming Lips?"

Indie Wannabe: "WTF?! They're not Indie! They don't sell their shirts in Topman or dress like football casuals! Now fuck off, I'm trying to listen to Not Nineteen Forever like a true individual Indie kid!"

indie wannabee

An 'indie wannabee' is someone who wants to be 'indie' In most cases, these people were chavs before, going around getting off with every single lad in school and the all of a sudden, just to fit in with everything else, they claim to be 'indie'
These wannabee's try way too hard. The whole indie look is supposed to be laid back and not put on at all, whereas these wannabee's try way hard with their matching pumps, cardigans and highwaisted shit. Honestly, they need to get back into their 'ecko tracksuits' and stop trying to be indie.
Many 'wannabee indie kids' from the Coventry area, also known as Chaventry, claim to like The Enemy, a local indie rock band. Just because they like The Enemy, this apparently makes the all indie cindys. No, it doesn't. They need to be told.
"You wannabee indie cindys, please fuck off back to your street corner smoking your roll ups and drinking your wkd. You are not indie and never will be, no matter how hard you try, alright!?"

Dee: "I'm a right indie cindy, I am."
Elle: "You're chav turned indie wannabee, actually. You try too hard!"
Dee: Nawww shat ap I iz well indie I iz!"
