Arctic Monkeys - Teddypicker
Appearance- A common occurrence with appearance in indie rock videos is scruffy hair, casual clothing such as polos, jeans and hoodies. This is to give the audience the impression the band(and genre) are easy going people who 'don't care', step outside the circle, and think outside the box.
In this music video the codes and conventions of the Indie genre are followed to the audience’s expectations.
Other common codes and conventions of indie rock music include:
-The band playing the music in the music
-The band performing live in front of a crowd
-The reason we see the band playing and performing their music in the videos is due to their intention of appearing as talented musicians, rather than industry made superstars.
