Indie rock is a subgenre of rock, rock being an umbrella genre, other subgenres include punk, heavy metal, post-rock.
ROCK
COSTUME
Black leather jacket is often worn
PERFORMANCE
Emphasis on playing instruments. For instance, while electro pop we have the lead singer singing, we don't often see the instruments such as the keyboards, solo artists in general don't always include their backing bands in the video (David Bowie is an example who switched between the two.
So we will have solo shots of the guitar, drums, base players, keyboardists.
The singer(s) will often use a lot of facial expressions, while the instrument players often perform stoically focussing on their performance. There is a general emphasis on the lead singer, not only due to him having screen time of singing, but he may often interact more in the narrative (Final shot could be on him like in Kraftklub's Fenster).
Is becoming more and more common to include live performances with audiences, shows they have an audience.
NARRATIVE
There are videos of just performances, but it is more common to follow the cross-cutting of performance and narrative.
EDITING
Low-key lighting
