Common representations of indie bands

Often in the music scene indie bands are generally made up of white young men who are aged roughly between 20 and 30. They are represented as sometimes being involved in drugs and drink and are often seen as stylish. Most indie band members have roughly the same hair style and often have reasonably long hair.

Indie music evolved from rock music from the 90's. Many of today's fashionable indie bands share similar styles to old fashions that have been brought back in. This interests me and we will have to consider this when making our music video. Bands such as "The Killers" or "Kasabian" show elements of these styles. This in my opinion gives them a modern representation as they choose to try and look their best with clothes that some would say are more feminine rather than masculine.

Some bands such as Oasis may be now seen as a indie band rather than a rock band which could be argued about as oasis give a more rock and roll look, with taking many drugs, drink and being violent towards photographers etc.
