Indie Kids don't exactly have the best rep at the moment, especially among those followers who think they may have sold out in order to make it big, but one things for certain- they have an excellent sense of style. Skinny jeans, thin ties and tight shirts are were all the rage when Indie music first came to the forefront, with bands like Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand all sampling the look.I think the indie fashion movement is inevitable and necessary. All those people who are making fun of "scene kids" and "hipsters" are hipocrits because they are probably the exact same. Whats the big deal anyway? People have been put in stereotypes from the beginning of time, it's not going to stop now. Cowboys listen to country music, and hipsters and indie kids listen to indie and underground music. It's not that I am pro-stereotype, I just figure that people wont ever stop judging one another.

Is indie music more than a genre? Or is it also a fashion movement?
Indie and underground artists are known for their "rocker" look and "who cares" attitude. The attitude has not changed, but the fashion surely has. Crazy fashion will always be accompanied with music, whether it be the love/hippie movement in the 60's, the grunge movement of the late 80's, early 90's, and the indie movement of today.

Kendall you are definitley the definition of indie you crazy cat. All I think about when I look at you is "Man, that girl just doesn't even care." Keep on truckin' pal
ReplyDeleteI think you have just sparked a google of indie music. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBut as far as the fashion, people now-a-days are into this "skinny jeans and tight shirts" look. I've noticed that it's taken over those who used to rock name brand jeans and air force ones. I completely agree that people probably will never stop judging one another. Just because it isn't widely accepted, its stereotypical. Just because you wear skinny jeans means that you're an indie kid, or because you listen to hardcore rock, you're emo. If you listen to hip hop, maybe you're a ganster who grew up in the ghetto. That just means that we should fight those stereotypes.
