‘Indie’ is short for individual. Indie can be used in many ways to describe unique music, clothes, photos and art. Indie fashion is unique to ever person. People who make their own clothes or try different things instead of buying what their friends are wearing and following the crowd. Indie clothes are trendy and make you stand out/ they aren’t usually brand names, most of the time its vintage/retro/home-made.

I selected a video that I believe covers all the stereotypes of an indie music video, and these are the reasons why... 

Jake Bugg- Trouble Town

The music video for the song 'Trouble Town' by Jake Bugg fits into the genre of indie and features aspects that you would typically see in an indie music video because of the derelict worn down locations, the acoustic guitar and retro look the video has. The cut between digital footage and film footage with the black and white shot at the beginning then the change to colour all adds to the retro/vintage look; this is done so that the audience can clearly identify what genre of music it is as most indie music video incorporate some sort of effect somewhere.
