Are Indie People Hippies?
 

without the strength of character to 'let go' and reject society. essentially just posers ?

Yyyyyyyyyyyes. Right man!

The indie kids with Jesus beards, I'd consider them dirty hippies.

Best worst topic in a while.

i just don't know what they are about.how they identify themselves these days ? who are these wankers

Nobody walks into a room and declares "EFF YEaH im InDiE!!!"
it's a fashion choice, it's a taste in specific music, it's an aesthetic that people go by. They aren't nessicarily even politcal. They don't have to reject established society.

Comparing every cultural movement to "hippies" makes you sound like you're 68 years old.

Do you have to be middle class ? or middleclass aspiring to be workingclass . what is INDIE ?

So what's the enduring theme of indie fashion /asthetic/music ? could you describe it.i ask as an old oasis fan

These days, "Indie" is a Hipster's shorthand for what was once known as College Rock. It used to mean a way of doing business while trying to avoid the influence of major label suits, but sadly those days are over it seems.

so it's wanky little posh kids trying to rebelilous,unless conan can defend himself
