Indie is a music scene that attracts a great deal of so-called "hipsters". The definition of the term hipster has evolved, becoming broad and encompassing a wide array of people. Generally speaking, hipsters are considered to be individuals who are of a middle to upper-middle class background, pursuing, or having attained a liberal arts education.

Hipsters often live in larger cities such as Portland, Los Angeles, New York (predominantly Brooklyn) and Austin, where there is a large indie music scene.

Hipsters tend to dress fashionably, but somewhat simply. The look is relaxed, often consisting of button-down shirts, skinny jeans, wayfarer glasses, and "It" designers. Hipsters are usually considered to be elitists who reject mainstream, though they are known for their interest in "irony"; hipsters are known to enjoy acts such as rapper Lil' B, in spite of the fact that many consider him to be untalented, having a sort of "kitsch" value.

Indie music is a scene, but hipsters have become synonymous with that scene in the '00s.

What is the difference between indie and hipster?

Indie usually refers to a type of music, which encompasses any artists not signed by a corporate label. Usually people think of alternative rock/folk music, but it is really anything that is not mainstream. Before the word "hipster" was commonly used, indie could also refer to the dress and lifestyle of people that listened to this genre of music. However, now we use the word hipster to refer to a person who lives and dresses alternatively, to be general. Many hipsters are greatly interested in art and music, blog on tumblr, and shop at stores like Urban Outfitters.

What is a hipster or indie person?

Hipsters and Indie people are almost the same. Hipsters are people who buy the latest fashion trends such as Vans, Toms, or Sperry's. They basically just buy most of the hyped up things before they become mainstream. Whereas an Indie person buys the bohemian style clothing which is a trend too, so they are also following the hype.
