The genre we have chosen is alternative or ‘indie rock’. These genres didn’t become popular until the 1990’s as it was seen as a rejection of mainstream culture which is the general thought or behaviour of society. There is a wide selection of artists in this genre like the libertines or a more mainstream band stereophonic’s with a wide variety of videos As such; there is no set musical style for alternative rock. The music generally focuses on guitars that blast out power chords. The lyrics generally address topics of social concern such as drug abuse. I have viewed some music videos of this genre and they usually include the band in the video. A lot of them quite random and don’t have an obvious connection with the lyrics.
After discussing the genre our group has decided to make a music video of Muse which have created an exclusive blend of many different genres like progressive rock classical Electronica. After this discussion I watched all of Muse’s videos and analysed them, there music varies radically from their classical symphonies to heavier songs like hyper music.
The majority of Muse’s music videos mainly focus on the band itself with a sub plot to do with the lyrics from my research I have found that they like using the colour red and a selection of fast shots and close ups.
