Indie kids are... different. We are all different from eachother, but our core is the same. Watch us, we huddle in groups. If alone, we most of the time have music in our ears. We dress differently. Not really to be different, just mainly because. But alot of us have cons. And most of them have been turned into our own personal canvas for doodles. We are shy alot in public, but we are quick to voice our opinion if needed. You'll see us at school in thespians, in lit crit, in debate, stuff like that.
We literally fear for the lives of our friends. Everyone's emotions run high in our clans. Each one of us has his or her own mannerisms... but we all do the same thing with music. If we feel one way, say, happy, we find a song to reflect that (Ben Folds, Troubled Hubble) If we are sad, we do the opposite (Her Space Holiday, Bright Eyes). And we ALL do that. Even people that aren't indie but associate themselves with us. I've seen Carson totally do this on several occasions... and he's good at it.
We also, like so many others from different "scenes," fear the pop so much. Espicially after Issac Brock took Modest Mouse to an ungodly low with a pop single, but, amazingly, the album is so freaking awesome (nothing like thir earlier stuff, but then again, each album is different for them). There is an understood... apathy? See, you have to be true to what you do to be indie. You can't fake it. Not ever. You can fake everything else. Emo? Yes. Faked. Now it's crap. Punk? Yes, again, faked. It is now a fashion statement. You just can't fake indie. It's there.
We do, though, kinda fear the RIAA. Alot of indie labels put songs on their site. The RIAA are being over-protective, and just plain stupid. I fear it anyway, I don't know about everyone else. But I'm geek, so I guess I get fed alot more about it than others.
Anyway, all ramblings aside, we don't out-number you... or do we? We hide in the shadows like little grinning self-concious monsters waiting to attack and teach you little losers about all things good in the world.
You're all great. So, comment, telling me how much of a loser I am.
