be indie

I’ve got just about everything in mind that I can get changed in an instant.
Only that I refuse to shop anywhere else but Buckle…
And only listen to Modest Mouse…

Need to up my image have recently fallen in love with the indie way of life e.g cool music vintage clothes and fit lads :)

Be independent and an individual. Indie is about being independent and Indie people are individualists. Become aware of what you are really interested in, for example if you like hardcore folk, Google it and try to find as many hardcore folk bands and learn about the genre. Being yourself is the main point of being Indie. It’s about being yourself. If a regular girl liked and was good at football she probably wouldn’t try out for her high school’s football team because she wouldn’t want people to think she was weird, but an indie girl would say try out even if her friends told her she was stupid for doing it. She would try out because it’s what she liked and what she wanted to do. Being indie doesn’t mean you can’t join in on your school’s activities. It’s if you like them or not. If you don’t like pep rallies, then don’t cheer at them. If you like swimming, then try out for the team. Participate in hobbies that you like, not because someone else likes them.

Wear your own clothes and create your own style. Indie girls are independent, so big brands and mainstream clothing are out! Places like Hollister, Abercrombie& Fitch, Nike, Dickie’s, etc are all out. Indies hate conforming and if you buy into corperate America it shows conforming. Places that are good for clothing are thrift shops, yard sales, and hand-me-downs.

Be classy. Indie girls are classy and content. They flirt, but they don’t sleep around. Indie girls usually try to find long lasting relationships, they don’t go from guy to guy, they take love and relationships seriously. Most indie girls have a tight group of friends. They never spread rumors, talk down, or make someone’s life a living hell just for the fun of it. Indie girls are nice, respectable, and honest!

Be smart. Indie girls are smart. They know about current events, like politics and history. Most indie girls maintain good grades and care about their education.
Love music. Music is very important to indie girls. Indie girls look for music, they search their favorite genre and find out more about it.

I’m not a conventional type of person either, but there’s something about the indie attitude which is so cool, which I hope to emulate a little in some ways.

I hesitate adding “be indie” to my goals. I think being indie is one of those things in life where you are or aren’t. One can’t really push him/herself into something they were not meant…But I was raised with parents who didn’t believe in the “mainstream” type of things, like music or cloathing styles.

oh, and does anyone here have a lastfm?

What artists are you guys listening to?
