And I actually like it and enjoy it. I'm 16 by the way so i dont know a lot of old rock

I listen to Hot Chip, The Libertines, The Shins, SHITDISCO, Jay-Z, The Beatles, Hadouken!, The Kooks, Babyshambles, Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Interpol, Razorlight, The Streets, Sonic Youth...

But the thing is, I enjoy lots of other kind of music. Almost everything, I'm very open mid but I hate anything emo=ish
I know that Jay-Z isnt indie but I do like him a lot

It is good to be so open exspecially when it comes to music. However just becuz you really are enjoying a certain type righ tnow does not mean that you need to label yourself in any certain way. It' s music and you like ..

The Indie movement is more about spirit than genre. It sounds like you have a fairly eclectic taste. I don't think you could label The Streets as Indie either. But I bet you like some things that could be labelled emo-ish, right? Like Teenagers by My Chemical Romance? And Black Parade? Because I wouldn't consider myself a fan of theirs but I appreciate those songs to the point where I might even be able to force a grudging "Choon!" from my mouth. You might like N*E*R*D*, by the way

no your are not indie - indie is shortened from independent, and it describes the label a band is on so

are you a record label run by a few people -no so your not indie

btw your bands are crap, no being funny or nout, but try
the music

kasabian

- only indie worth knowing

If you listen to rap and hip hop - does it make you black? If you listen to Frank Sinatra - does it make you old? Music does not make the person.

Indie music is short for "independent", it's mostly local bands that are signed on labels

Are you signed to an independent record label? If you aren't then you aren't Indie.

just coz you listen to certain kind of music doesnt mean you have to label yourself. Be whatever you want, is it really that important?

You're not 'indie' unless you claim to be. Liking music doesn't make you anything other than somebody who likes music.
