Genre which I want to use

After deciding that I would like to do work based on the indie rock sub genre. I created a brainstorm of bands which are in that specific genre and the stereotypes I have picked out of that sub genre. I picked out the stereotypes by looking at 3 images of band members. The bands that I used to analyse appearances were: Drowners, Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks. 

Drowners have a urban and street image of themselves as they have the rock conventions of skinny jeans and messy hair but they also are wearing snapbacks and panels. Their photo shoot was also took behind a vandalised wall. Arctic Monkey's image is more tidier, the lead singer Alex Turner has greased back hair and wears braces with a leather jacket. It could be argued that Arctic Monkey's image is influenced by classic rock and they wear more vintage smart style clothes in comparison to the 'messy' look. The Kooks' image was very metrosexual, the band members were wearing very feminine clothing but however are all straight men. They wear low cut tops and bowler hats which was unusual and I had never personally seen before in the indie rock scene. However they still had some of the classic conventions.

All bands had a lead male singer and were shown to play their own music. They all also have the same clothing image slightly as they all appeared to wear skinny jeans and darker choices of clothing rather than bright colours. In each band there one or more man with messy hair and stubble which seems to be an edgy and stereotypical look in recent rock.
