'Indie Folk'/ Alternative genre
Artists:
Laura Marling, Angus Stone, Fleet Foxes, Phosphorescent, Bon Iver, Noah and the Whale
The main instruments that feature in the Indie Folk genre are guitars and drums. These are signature instruments of the genre that give it the alternative feel. For example, if you listened to a song by Ben Howard and a song by Gabrielle Aplin, you would assume that they are from the same genre as their music sounds similar. Where as if you listened to a song by Ben Howard and Lady Gaga, it's clear that their music is not within the same genre as they sound completely different and their image to the public eye is a lot different.
In 'Indie/folk' videos the general costume seems to be jeans, leather jackets and t shirts - this is thought to be the modern take on indie clothing.
Indie videos tend to include special effects to make the video seem to run smoother and give it an old fashioned effect to give it an 'alternative' feel.
