Indies.

Indies: individuals that feel strongly that they are indeed “individuals,” especially among their fellow peers which they feel are all of the same mindset, background, and share the same motives and dress in similar fashion. However, in all actuality these “individuals” are not entirely individuals due to the fact they also migrate towards other “individuals” resulting in a common trend found in the Provo, Utah area. Realistically these individuals a.k.a “indies” are no more intricate nor fashionable nor different than those who they would consider “cliché or typical.” They can often can be seen wearing skinny stone washed jeans, a t-shirt from the D.I. with a picture of a giant bald eagle that says “Alaska” in italicized writing underneath, and usually wear weathered hi top converse all stars, thick black framed Steve Urkle glasses and have a child molester mustache or a grungy face of scruff making a point to say that they don’t shave and they usually have a head of hair that screams “ I haven’t been washed in days simply because I don’t care!” but really it was tasseled with at least 10 minutes worth of effort before they stepped outside. And in the end there are just as many (if NOT MORE!) of these “individuals” as their are “bros, jocks, skaters, bikers, and worst of all..Ed Hardy worshippers and the list goes on and on but you get the point.
