Rock

The performance in the music video is of the band on a large stage with them playing as if it were a live concert, this is perfectly relevant with the genre. About halfway through the video the camera shows that infront of the band is a line up of many S.W.A.T officers that are ready to charge at them.

The narrative fits very well with the music video as it sings about how they are not like the others and that they won't surrender to the normal they and the police are pretending to be the good guys.

This song is very much a rebellious song and it's perfectly with the rock genre as well as the band fit the description of a conventional rock band with their long hair and ripped jeans, i woud describe them as energetic, loud and insightful.

Indie, Pop, Folk

In the music video the performance seems to be about a girl with a crush on a boy in this high school and he keeps walking away from her but she's persistent.

The narrative fits quite well with the song as it talks about having a crush on this boy and the narrative shows this girl going around and following this boy that has no interest in her.

The video tells us that the star is quite a friendly person with a quiet and calm personality. They are very collected, calm and a bit monotone.

The music video seems to be about a man who is possibly running from the law, he is seen faking injurys to steal a car and has alot of cash on him aswell as many phones, he also has this small dog that seems to follow/appear around him.

I dont think the narrative fits very well with the song as the video seems to be about a criminal on the run or something like that but the song talks about a beach or a toxic relationship shit.

The star is very emotional and seems very quiet and a bit elegant with how they sing. It's very calm and sophisticated.
