Mood boards for my themes
Indie pop Definition: A genre of alternative rock music that originated in the United Kingdom in the mid-1980s, with its roots in Scottish post-punk bands on the Postcard Records label in the early 1980s (Josef K and Orange Juice) and the dominant UK independent band of the mid-1980s, the Smiths.
I have chosen this theme because it is different and a lot of people don’t really listen to it unless it comes on mainstream music channels or radio stations. The theme indie pop is part of the alternative rock genre. Some people prefer to be different however, as soon as it becomes mainstream they seem to dismiss it and move onto something different.
My target audience is normally aimed at teens who don’t want to be mainstream or just like alternative music. Or adults who are reflecting on the past, and looking for the new alternative music that they used o listen to.
Folktronica Definition: (sometimes called electrofolk) is a genre of music comprising elements of folk and electronica, often featuring acoustic instrument samples — especially stringed instruments — and incorporating hip-hop rhythms.
Folktronica has a very minimal fan base as not many people (including me) don’t know it even exists. Folktronica is a very specific genre and is mostly aimed at adults and the older generation because of the mood it creates. I chose this theme to show people that old music can come back in different ways.
