The subculture 'Indie kids', is defined by its connection with music, fashion and beliefs.
The term 'indie' stands for independent, as it refers to independent record labels that began in the late 1970s.
The indie culture emerged and became popular in the 80s.
Indie music became known with bands such as Sonic Youth, The Smiths, Joy Division and The Pixies.
These bands were commended for fulfilling indie beliefs of non-conformity and opposing mainstream music & record labels.
Original indie kids were known to dress simple by wearing cardigans, t-shirts, scarfs, blazers, waistcoats and drainpipe jeans. Clothing was most likely to bought from second hand shops, to oppose conforming to fashion trends.
Modern day indie kids have maintained beliefs about mainstream and have continued to listen to music by old and new indie bands.
New generation indie bands include Vampire Weekend, The Killers, Broken Bells & Mojo Fury.
