My thoughts exactly...

I'm talking about "indies", which I took to mean "individuals", not people that are hung up on grunge rock and flannel shirts.
These days, it's impossible to be yourself as far as attire goes.

Kids and fads are synonymous. It's how they blend in, which is rich, because the people that are bullying those fad followers are in a fad of their own.
Well, that is if you consider terrorism a fad.

No, "Indies" would mean independant. And the only people I know who are hung up on grunge rock and flannel shirts are lesbians.
Originally posted by RobtardYes, but they only follow what others like because they like it too. They didn't think if they don't like it they'll be shunned or uncool. You could call it a trend, but A: It's not mainstream, and B: It's a comparison to what everyone else does, C: The people who are indie like different things to eachother, but if gave what another was listening to a chance, would probably like it also.

Because if you have 10,000+ people 'not following trends' but dressing, acting and thinking a certain way, they themselves make a "trend".It's like a bunch of people who rebel without a clue to what they're rebelling against and think themselves "nonconformist", yet they are conforming to their own trends, ideas and ideals.
