Music videos from my genre:

My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words

I feel that this music video represents the heavier side of rock, as it contains black parade uniforms, black eye make up, fire, and instruments such as electric guitars, bass guitars and drums. The song itself is quite heavy, and contains lyrics such as:
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone 
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

These lyrics show the deepness of rock music, and teenagers can associate with them, as it is the time of their lives when they go through the 'existential crisis', and consider life and death in general.

Fall Out Boy - I Don't Care

This music video shows Fall Out Boy being quite inappropriate, and doing things such as dressing as nuns, stealing from a busker and dropping water bombs on people. This complies with the songs lyrics:
I don't care what you think as long as it's about me 
The best of us can find happiness in misery 

Teenagers (my target audience) can relate to these lyrics, as they're in a time of their lives when they feel most ignored.

Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies

This music video represent the 'emo' side of rock, and shows Panic! at the Disco at a wedding, wearing top hats and red suits. People at the wedding are wearing 'weird' make up and clothing, which makes the video very abstract on a whole, which connotes to rock music. The song itself contains lyrics such as:
I'd chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
My target audience (teenagers) can relate to these lyrics, as they are going through a time in their lives where there is a lot of 'gossip', and words and passed from person to person and distorted.

Paramore - Ignorance

The band Paramore is different to the other bands, as instead of a front man, it has a front woman (Hayley Williams). Hayley represents the female audience, as she is everything they want to be. Her red hair represents rock music in general, as being bright and loud. The music video is very dark in some points, only lit by a single light bulb, which is conventional of rock. The song itself contains lyrics such as:

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well now I can fend for myself

These lyrics are relatable to teenagers (my target audience) as many feel ignored and rebellious, and therefore accept the lyrics quicker.
