Your Definition

An indie kid is simply somebody (usually a teen) that does not fit into a mainstream stereotype. They are not exactly "defined" which is why they are indie. For example, they tend to listen to music that doesn't really fit into any genre (a.k.a "alternative") or music that is signed to independent labels. This is not to say that they only listen to rock/alternative - they listen to a wide range of music from many different genres.

Contrary to popular belief, indie kids are NOT pretentious twats who refuse to listen to anything on the charts, and they are not the same as "scene" kids.

Indie girls dress with a mixed style - they have elements of hippie, rock chick, girly or prep. Indie boys tend to wear graphic tops, jeans (straight-leg) and skater shoes like Vans, DC, Puma, Adidas, or Converse. Their hair has a sort of sexy bedhead "just rolled outta bed" look but they have actually spent some time styling it.

Indie kids are NOT scene/emo/goth. They are NOT pretentious. They are NOT snobbish. People who ARE these things, are just trying too hard, which is like the opposite of being indie.
