[Robbo]

Maybe. But then I maybe I feel fine knowing I'm just part of a whole.

Certainly if you said there was no one locally, with in your social circles like you, I'd have no problem with that. But weight of numbers in even just the western world makes me think about being saying I'm or anyone completely special.

But ya know, unless you have some major problems and you're happy with what you are, fair enough.

[Trollstormur]

Trollstormur, I gotta own that hoodie.

if enough people express interest in the shirts I'm designing, I'll sell the on the internet.


(norwegian and swedish versions would available too)

[yggdrasil]

I'm quite tall, frighteningly skinny, and I wear black-rimmed glasses, so I guess in those ways I look like an indie kid. I also tend to wear cords a lot these days. However, I also tend to wear black metal t-shirts, so that kind of clashes with the look... but hey, I like it.

[Johnny C]

Hey, which stereotype is "easily intimidated by meeting rock band members?" Because I fit that one too.

[joethemonkey]

I wear khaki cargo shorts/pants, sometimes depending on the weather, sometimes not.  I put on whatever shirt is on the top of the stack although there are no band shirts or anything.  Wear skate shoes...although that doesn't mean much anymore.  I mostly listen to punk but also anything I deem "worthy" (which can be from Mozart to anything short of rap).  I guess if I had to be classified it would be under the skater/prep type although i don't see myself following any group.  I make decisions based on what I think, I listen to the music i like, and I dress in whatever is easiest :p.

[Poke]

I can't say that I fit into any one really well, but I listen to tons of different music genres and I can probably pull a look out of my closet for any of them. I just really like fun clothes.

I listen to: indie, alternative, classic rock, folk, emo, punk and some metal.

I wear: Mostly just jeans/cords and hoodies, but I have tons of hats, some really girly hippy skirts, band t-shirts, stilettos, black combat boots, band tshirts, polyster 70s shirts and pants, rev velvet pants, moccasins...

I have really short hair now, that was dyed black, and that looked pretty emo/punk whatever. But before that it was in the middle of my back, brown, and stick straight and I looked like a flower child.
Most of the time I just wear nondescript plain tank tops and pants (I also don't wear any brands like someone else mentioned.. I didn't know it was indie, but I hate being a label whore), but I really like to be able to mess around with my look pretty easily, I can go from metal looking, to preppy and trendy, to pot smoking hippy. And since I like all of those kinds of music, it works for me.

[Spike]

Hmm, I'm horribly bad at the whole label thing but here it goes anyway.

I wear jeans, button up shirts or t-shirts.  That's about it.  

If I had to say I was anything I'd say I was an indie kid (at least by musical tastes), it's just that I'm not very good at it.

[japaneasy]

Once I dyed my (very dark, almost black) hair, black.  It was an experiment for Halloween.

[Cpt.Fantastic]

Same here, acoustic indie, indie rock.

Im skinny, i have long hair, i wear t-shirts that have funny slogans and i look down on anybody who reads NME (thats YOU Cpt.Fantastic...)

Bastard.
I have my prog side(snobbish), then my indie side(chilled), my hate-filled-non-metal anger side, my suit-wearing side and my eyeliner side. I look like a posh 1950's bisexual stoner most of the time.

[loyalpeon]

ok, so I'm pretty tall, pretty muscular, long hair (usually in ponytail) and wear thin-rimmed rectangular glasses. I wear mainly jeans, nikes or some other comfy trainer, t-shirts (mainly plain blue ones, some band Ts, some random colourful ones), and sweaters (not hoodies) or shirts, depending on weather hehe... mix all that with either leather jacket or some weird black one... and um... you get... well - i donno

personality wise... i'm usually the clown of the group, motormouth and all...

if any of you can figure out a stereotype from all that please enlighten me.

to lend a helping hand, i listed mostly to folk, indie rock/pop, blues rock, 90s alt rock, IDM industrial, metal... that about sums up my favourites i guess, add a pinch or rap maybe...

so yeah. what stereotype am i?

[Jooooosh]

i guess i fit into the idie stereotype, i listen to idie rock, and none of my friends have ever even heard of my favorite bands. and im skinny, which goes along with the stereotype i think.

[LightThievesAll]

wait... enough people like post-industrialreggaecore for the to be stereotyped? holy SHIT!

I could get into that music... if it existed.

My favorite theoretical musical genre: grindabilly.  Stand up bass, blast beats, slide guitar.  Lyrics about 1965 Pontiac GTOs and how the human race is shit.

[Robbo]

Ahhh, the invent a genre topic. That one's always fun what's the stupid ideas die down. And if you ever make a band that plays music like that, I'll listen to it at least once.

[StrikeThePostman]

There really aren't indie types around here, so I just kind of make it up as I go along.

I'm in the same situation.

The only sort of apparel I whore is my footwear.  I have a bright pink pair of Mary Janes with wooden heels and fat buckles that are the coolest things I own.  Also, I wear tons of band pins.  I probably look like an insane fool most of the time, but it's fun.

[Ernest]

I stopped trying to fit into a group awhile ago, but it's inevitable.  I used to be one of those skater dorks who wears all sorts of skate brands, then I realized that was no better than the commercialism I was trying to escape from.  I went to wearing more band shirts, and then eventually stopped giving a shit.  I used to want to have liberty spikes, but now I don't even fucking care.  I guess if anything I kind of fit a late eighties/early nineties punk style (not fucking new wave).  I'm not vegan or vegetarian or straight edge.  I wear mostly just jeans and tee shirts (without really caring what's on them, no seriously, I'm not picky).  I immensely enjoy-
*Playing punk and hardcore style drums
*Getting wasted (drunk, high, tripping, whatever)
*Going to shows and moshing a whole fucking lot

If you think I am wrong about how I classified myself, just say so.

[Skibas_clavicle]

Meh, its all good. I think I've gotten a little too old to care a lot about what "classification" I'm in. I think you loose a little bit of that affinity for classification after high school. Not all, but a bit.

But dude! Liberty spike roXorz. I'm a rather big fan of the punk attire/look.

[muffy]

I don't mind being outed as an indie fuck because of the way I dress and act, and it's started some interesting conversations,
but
I'm getting kind of tired of people coming on all 'indier than thou' on me - it's like I have a beacon that says 'Hey, I'll humour you in a game of 'how many bands can you list until I say one that you don't recognise so that I can indulge my superiority over you'' It's getting pretty tedious.

I think I may start dressing like a chav to combat this

[Skibas_clavicle]

Chav in Canadian terms = thugged out kids?

Yah, that's why I don't really dress 'indie'. Somethings are silly and plus, like you said muffy, that whole "indier than thou" thing just kinda ticks me off.

[muffy]

Yeah, over here a Chav is the kind of person with an IQ of about 60, who try so hard to emulate the various noxious celebs that populate the media, and do so by wearing a kilo of make up, much hair gel, and all the girls are pregnant by the time they're 16...

That said, I'm gonna get a T-shirt made up which says 'Indier than Thou' and wear it to the next indie club I go to. I think it'll be funny, though indie kids are a notoriously humourless bunch...I'll see how it goes

[dancarter]

I don't, really...much to the amazement of people who have become my friends over the last little while.  i'm pretty mellow in terms of clothing, opting for comfort more than anything.  in terms of the music i like, i should be wearing black latex bondage pants 24 hrs a day.

See, in Canada, we call 'chavs' genos/genas. Geno for male, gena for female. Here, they go to clubs, listen to bad music and where far-too-tight jeans with enough makeup on to last a hooker ten years.

Hahaha, good luck with the tshirt idea, I'll be surprised if you're not snubbed/snarled to death. I wish you a safe trip!

[Druid]

If you want to see hostility go to a underground punk club wearing dress clothes. You'd think I was Satan incarnate with the welcomes I got. I'm sorry if I have a job that pays me well and requires me to dress nice. What was even dumber was that they were there for the scene not the band.
