What would I wear?

• If it looks like your Granny would wear it, I would wear it.
• Team this 'Granny item' with a pair of so-skinny-I-can't-walk jeans…
• ...and you're onto an indie winner!

What about music?

• Funnily enough, I'm well into the genre 'indie'.
• Think Razorlight, think Babyshambles, think boys in bands with big haircuts and high-collared black coats.
• ...But despite all that, a bit of cheesy pop never did anyone any harm, right?

What do I do?

• I listen to indie music. A lot.
• And when I'm not listening to it, I can usually be found reading about it in the NME or an underground fanzine.
• I'm creative! Art, photos, music… all things I just happen to make on a daily basis.
• My mates and I hang out at local art galleries and independent cinemas.

What do I think?

• 'Indie' is basically a conscious move away from the mainstream.
• Support your local music/art scene!
• If it looks cultured, its indie.
• I WILL marry Johnny Borrell/Pete Doherty/Alex Turner (delete as appropriate)
