"Indie," as commonly refered to regarding film, music and even business. It is an abbreviation for independent. The word has been used in this regard for quite some time, but only since the later 1990's to present day has the term not only developed into a genre, but into an able yet underground Subculture.
An Overview
The avant-garde way of life and dress is often associated with the hipster (a term evolved from jazz muscians in the 20s) - intellectual and self-proclaimed reasonable thinkers.
Those assocociated with the Indie Sub-culture are often involved with the local art and music/dj scenes. They often are found in cafe's and books stores - and usually follow or are involved with independent films and/or alternative comics. Unlike previous generations of hipsters, they are rarely now associated with the jazz scene.
Music and Film
Concerned lovers of the independent label's offbeat exports of music and films, is what gives the name to this culture. Since the late 1990s, indie rock and downtempo electronica, are closely related to their styles of music (sometimes associated with the "indie 'scene'" of japan), and those who follow the associated ultramodern fashions and tastes.
As with any distinctive subculture, the believed typecaste is a fairly vague group that appreciates irony and self-deprecation.
Common Mis-understandings or Arguments
Some may have believe those in the "Indie Group" would be somewhat associated with emo, or indie emo which wis more melodic and less chaotic in nature than its predecessor. The so-called "indie emo" scene survived until the end of the 1990s, as many of the bands either disbanded or shifted their style to the mainstream.
Another fallacy in the subject is in the way an "indie" person would dress. This also is a vague area, however, those proclaimed to be true hipsters do not dress in the "emo" style.
