Indie Poser

Someone who immediately puts some obscure indie band on their iPod after it was featured on some show (The O.C., Scrubs etc.) and try to act like they are cool and knew who they were all along.

An Indie Poser is an individual who decides to go "indie" because they want to try to be "different". They will most likely take bubblegum pop music and change the song title, artist and album name, and also the album artwork so that it looks as though it were indie. They also try to get the "indie look" by wearing stupid crap that doesn't match. When asked what stereotype they would consider themselves, they will usually respond, "Oh, I'm SOO indie." If you check their iPod, they will say, "You probably won't know any of the bands, they're ALL INDIE." You must avoid these people. They are obnoxious and dumb.

Let me first start out by saying that being Indie does not fit into a particular group. Indie stands for Independant, as in on you're own, against social cliques, there for saying, "I am Indie," would defeat the purpose.

An Indie poser is indeed someone who thinks and says that they're Indie. The obviously try too hard by trying to pull of weird colorful looks that just turn out looking gross. An Indie poser probably has no idea about any local or Indie/alternative bands. And if they do, it's obvious they don't enjoy them because they can't speak deeply about the music.
Indie kids do their own thing, they are their own person. They have unique interests and are usually intelligent and pretty deep.

So the kids who are obviously shallow, try too hard, don't care for deep conversations, and hide their true interests... but dress and listen to Indie music and call themselves Indie, are indeed not Indie.

Usually a really rich brat who tries to act like they love the environment even though they drive a Toyota SUV. They constantly talk about going to college in Colorado and try to make radical statements which are often not radical in any shape or form. They also use polaroid instant cameras and use film cameras for taking their facebook or myspace profile pictures. They are normally underage and act like they will be the one that will change the world. They also constantly talk about the Beatles, John Lennon, and The Flaming Lips.
