My chosen genre.



Genre


The genre I’ve decided to go for is going to be MOD/Indie; this is because it’s the style of music I like therefore I know more about the artists included in the genre and the style of which I need to base my models on.


Bands that fit into the genre I’ve decided on consist of bands such as ‘The Libertines’ ‘oasis’ ‘arctic monkeys’ ‘beady eye’. These bands are more indie than MOD as they fit the main conventions of the genre by the way they present themselves in both their style and lyrics, these bands are seen as more mainstream indie as they’re signed to a label whereas indie would typically be seen as unlabelled bands.

Today, music is one of the few ways where people connect with each other  without the use of language. It is one way cultures can identify themselves, and communicate with each other to find common ground. Indie music relates to this as through the tone of which the musics played and the the type of singing voice used with most indie bands it connects them all together into its own culture.


The genre started off in the 1980’s or that’s when the term was first used, bands that formed the genre were bands such as The Jam and The rat-pack.
