3. In my media product I have
tried to represent the ‘indie pop
kids’ stereotype, these are
potrayed normally through
music magazines such as Indie,
Q and NME.

4. Indie kids are recognised through mismatching
fashion, generally clashing colours fabrics and
prints are exemplified. Indie standing for
individual sums up the look really, they aim to
stand out from the crowd.
In my product, I have used photography, lighting,
makeup, props and poses to construct a visual
representation of a indie pop kid.

6. In this genre of music the males are stereotypically seen as the more
dominant and powerful figure, as appose to the women who are seen as
sexual figures/icons to the male audience. This is exemplified in many of
the well known magazines such as NME.
I followed this convention by using a female on my front cover, and
although her clothes dont exemplify sexuality her facial expression does,
although I did try to angel the shot to show some dominance to go
against the unpowerful stereotype of women as the indie kids don’t
appear to split the genders as strongly as the media portrays.

7. The indie pop kids evidently follow the indie pop
music, which is a combination of the niche indie
music and the pop (chart) music today, the pop part
generally comes in through the musically rhythms
more so than the instruments.
Bands/Artists of the genre would include:
The Wombats, Ben Howard, Jamie T, The Pigeon
Detectives etc..

8. In my research I found that the indie-pop kids generally
try to replica the fashion and styles of the band
members and artists they listen to the most, as music to
the indie-pop kids is very important. I found they tend to
copy the styles the artists and band members are shown
to be wearing in the media products such as Indie.
In my product I have managed to create a stereotypical
representation through style which the indie-pop tribe
will relate to. I have done this by using particular
clothing and props in my photographs and by selecting
my house colour theme of red black and white.

9. Indie-pop kids are seen as lively, out going, free spirited individuals, and
research into this group I discovered all of the questioned enjoyed eng
music and preferably in a live form (ie gigs and festivals), thus when cr
my product I ensured I put in contents which formed around such eve
make sure my media product was of my target audiences interes
