Research Into Fashion/ Styling of Genre


The majority of people who indeed like this Genre of music can't really be labelled down to a single clothing style, so we are going to be talking about the Rock/ Pop-Punk stereotype. The image on the left is a good example of what we would pin point as a 'rock loving' individual; he is wearing chains and has a dark/ grunge shirt containing a skull.

The man has tattoos on his right arm, which is a very common stereotype with the Rock genre; we associate the rebellious attitude that youngsters have with rebellious music such as Rock itself; by seeing a person that has chains and tattoos we automatically assume that they are into that type of music, without questioning it any further.

Modern music is more technological than that of previous music such as Rock; for this reason the popularity is becoming rarer to identify. The Style of Rock Music is very instrumental, in a way that every instrument is physically recorded as well as the vocals, as apposed to electronic music where as most instruments are synthesised.

Depictions of Rock vary amongst different media platforms; a magazine that revolves around the genre would probably judge the music style a lot differently than a magazine that reviews all types of music. We usually reference Rock artists as very hardcore and over excessive, a great example of this would be KISS, who obviously are entirely different to many other related bands; a point to make is that bands like KISS are still playing music even after the evolution of music we have currently.
