Research: Sub Genres In My Chosen Genre

    Here are some examples of the type of artists that could be featured in my magazine, I have chosen four different bands to present here, with a video, live performance and interview each. This is to demonstrate again how versatile my chosen genre of general rock music is, these bands all differ and contrast, as they are all from different sub genres in rock, but they also share common elements that I can portray in my text.

HOW DO I GET THESE LINKS TO BE LINKS

   These examples all correspond despite their conflicts in genre and styles. There are similarities in the band's appearances, conventions such as ripped or skinny jeans are shown, dark coloured clothing, flannel and tee shirts. Common elements also include instruments used, most noticeably guitars but also pianos and keyboards in the examples that are slightly more experimental with their genre.

The styles of music played in these videos all differ extremely, with there being examples of ballads, dubstep and dance themes, and heavy metal screaming. However, all these bands are well known and are branded as being part of the rock genre.
