€tes vous indie?

We are all so young so cool, such a desirable target demographic for advertisers, who spend our time spending our money on finding ways to spend our money on being different. The art of manliness, that venerable fount of wisdom on all things good, honourable and manly, shares it's thoughts on the Indie myth. Worth reading.
