Your Definition

Its not about how you look its about how you think its not about what you listen to or what you wear

its about why you do.

Indie isn’t a 'look' or a 'style' it’s part of the way you think, independent from what the mainstream wants you to think (which would explain the love of political debates), independent from what Elle and Cosmo want you to wear this month, independent from what MTV plays, independent from labels and restrictions in general. Basically indie means following your own mind.

Meaning: if you listen to a song or wear clothes because it’s the latest chart topper or must have

and stop listening to it or wearing it because its "soo last month" - you're not 'so-called' indie simply because you are obviously not thinking

independently, you follow what others prescribe, suggest, and do.

Therefore if you listen to indie bands and wear skinnys and scarfs because you want to be indie then you are NOT indie, because you are yet again simply following.

The only reason why I think there even is a ‘indie look’ is because all 'indie peeps'

think alike and shy away from labels and anything mainstream and commercial.

This of course does not mean that they never ever wear labels or like something

that is commercial it just means that if and when they do, it’s not because it’s a

label or whatever, but because they want to and they don't allow themselves to be

bound by some definition and set of do's and don’ts.

They think for themselves , they like what they want.
