Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor
The song 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor' by the band 'Arctic Monkeys' is a typical music video of the Indie genre.
It is a performance-based music video of the band. as Indie music videos usually are.
The generic conventions is that it is a performance-based video, also there are close-ups of the bands members and fast-paced editing. There are also close-ups of the instruments, which would be the props in the music video.
Indie band members tend to wear casual clothes also, and tend to have long unruly hair, which is associated with the appearance of male indie artists. Various effects such as different-coloured/strobe lighting is usually used in performance-based Indie videos. Also, the video seems to be shot in a studio, which is where most conventional indie music videos are shot in; either that or in a working class location, such as out in the streets. Therefore, the song follows the conventions as it includes all these.
