These people are also referred to as ‘Indie Kids’ or ‘Indie Rockers’, of which most dislike these terms as it labels them in a certain group. Most dislike the mainstream and the ‘in-trend’ and wear, listen to and do what they feel like without following fashions and rules. Indie is often connected to rockers, and are at a long lasting ‘social war’ with chavs.
