HOW INDIE ARE YOU?

how indie are you?

this is how it all begins......

we stop buying our music from corporate owned stores, our food from supermarkets (particularly fruit and vege) and our clothing from westfields malls. we open our eyes to the pseudo indie hip chain stores ( 50 stores is not independent, it is corporate capitalism).

in the purchases we make, we search for the wisest, most enlightened deals and when we find them, we share that knowledge with our friends. we punish the big, the super and the mega. we support and reward the small, the slow, the local and the personal.

drink indie coffee instead of starbucks
choose local and indie labels of clothing and shoes
buy secondhand

IN THIS WAY WE BECOME TRUE CULTURAL CREATIVES.
WE BECOME DISPENSERS OF BOTTOM UP COOL.
WE MOVE TOWARDS A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY OF ORIGINALITY AND CREATIVITY.
