Indie Rock


  • Indie-rock musicians use performance based music videos. This shows the artists' passion for their music making it meaningful.
  • An example of this is 30 Seconds to Mars with their music video for Closer to the Edge.
  • Indie-rock music videos play out the story of the song. 
  • Indie-rock is a form of alternative rock making it a sub genre.
  • It originated in the US and the UK in the late 1970's to 1980's.
  • Indie-rock artists tend to have DIY attitudes as they tend to be with independent record companies meaning their budget is more restricted and as a result DIY attitudes means quite a lot of their music videos and made by the artists themselves.
  • This means indie-rock music videos tend to be more ambiguous. 
  • Most indie-rock artists avoid major record labels and they feel they have more freedom without them. 
  • Examples of indie rock artists include; James Bay, Lorde, Bastille, Birdy and Arctic Monkeys.
  • Examples of record labels in the indie rock genre include; Domino, XL Recordings and 4AD
