Planning: Codes and Conventions on Genre

 Application of Codes and Conventions on Genre

Genre: Rock/ Grunge


As seen in the picture, this band (PVRIS) follows the codes and conventions of a Rock band.
They wear black, have tattoos and piercings. The girl has the side of her head shaved.They have an eerie sort of outlook. It is as Daniel Chandler states in his Genre Theory that it is due to these shared codes and conventions that are then regarded as being part of one genre.

Genre : Indie-Rock


This is an example of an Indie-Rock band (Echosmith). They are seen to be wearing light pastel colors and floral shirts and button down shirts. They have a more of friendly outlook as can be seen with the way they dress and their body language and these codes and conventions can be seen to be followed by other bands and artists of the same genre.
