WHAT IS INDIE?
"Indie" stands for "Independent". The late teens to mid twenties kids mainly all share a common love for the arts and music. But they are opposite to mainstream in terms of their personality, style, dress sense, etc. They listen to many bands most people haven't heard of and tend to dress however they want, creating trends themselves.
Indie kids are often seen in art gallery, underground clubs and vintage shops, and they like mixing lots of styles found in these shops. They tend to be open minded as well as opinionated and are curious for new ideas in all art fields mainly music.
They tend to wear warm neutral tones as opposed to black, as well as light fabrics, almost simular to the
hippie style.
They listen to Indie and Alternative music, and are considerate the "hot"nerds. Indie kids are the new generation of nerd but the "cool nerd" version because they embrace the awkwardness. An example is the way they have made the big dorky glasses a fashion statement rather than something people would laugh at. Indie kids are often very sharp and very quickwitted. They tend to listen to bands from back as early as the 1960s. Typical indie kid bands include The Beatles, Bright Eyes, The Shop Assistants, The Long Blondes, The Rascals,The Shangri Las and The Who.
Indie kids wear clothes from second hand shops, have an unfounded fascination in things like cassette tapes and vinyl, and often wear thick rimmed glasses and a little hint of 60's.
