Indigo children...

These are not bad men
These are not bad girls
They just stray by
In their own little world

“Indigo Friends” - Reverend Horton Heat

Indigo is passe! Crystal Children, dude, that’s where it is now! Their auras are crystal-colored!

It’s actually caused by poor blood circulation. Could be a heart condition.

That one was 10 years ago 10 years ago. Wayne’s World is 20 years old now and came out when I was a baby.

Maybe my Boston Terrier is an Indigo Child. I’ll have to look into this.

HAhahahah, /thread
I died

Try 30 years ago. (Holy shit! 1982 was THIRTY years ago!!!) Understanding Your Life Through Color: Nancy Ann Tappe: 9780982270585: Amazon.com: Books

My mom had that first book. Thought it was a crock of shit, but she collected crock of shit self help books for the laughs.

…won’t you come out tonight?

We had a thread about this ten years ago:

Sure they may seem spoiled, but I suspect that the less they seek their source for some definitive, the closer they’ll be to fine.

Yeah, I’ve known a few people who were into the whole Star Children thing. Even for those who believe in it, Indigo Children supposedly aren’t being born anymore and ought to be all grown up by now. So any parent who claims to have an Indigo Child now, isn’t even getting the woo stuff right. If you’re going to do the new age stuff, at least stay with the newest.

I thought Crystal Children was the newest version of this, but I did a quick Google search apparently even that’s like 10 years old now and the new thing is Rainbow Children, who are born to Crystal Children parents or something. It’s hard to keep up on this stuff.

:slight_smile:

The best part of that wiki page is the “See also: Psychopath”

Crystal children are having rainbow babies at ten years old? That just ain’t right.

If Crystal Children have Rainbow Babies, do Sea People have Anchor Babies?

Maybe we could get the Indigo Girls to record it? :wink:

Missed that one obviously - this is the first time I can recall hearing about it.

For those worried they might be indigo/crystal/rainbow children, this helpful quiz might set your mind at ease. I learned that 1) I am evidently normal, and 2) indigo children can’t spell worth shit.

Kyron?? Seriously??? What a load of crap. Everyone knows Xenu is the only space alien worth listening to.

Well, that was the worst quiz ever in the history of the planet. Thanks.

I feel bad for these kids though. They “learn” from their parents that they’re special; that won’t work as an excuse in 99% of the world.

I aim to displease. :wink:

It is indeed a train wreck of a quiz. For further amusement, see this board thread of people who just loooooove the quiz.

For those people who complain that despite the tagline, Dopers really aren’t that smart: this is the competition.
