Genre Conventions

In class we discussed how many different genres of music there is. This is a list of the different genres I wrote down:
Pop
R&B
Rock
Indie
Soul
Hip Hop
Dubstep
Drum and Bass
Rap
Punk
Electronic
House
Jazz
Pop Rock
Metal
Classical
Dance
Boy Band
Pop Princess
Reggae

Within all of these genres there are many sub-genres, for example for rock there's; pop rock, punk rock, stadium rock, psychedelic rock and many more.

These are the conventions of the music videos of my three favourite music genres. I have used a few brief words just to get a basic idea of the conventions.

Pop-Dance choreography, many enhanced colours, girls, fast cutting rate, close-ups, artist centre of attention.
R&B-Storyline, dancing, blue or golden colour filter, emphasis on clothes, street, house or party scene, close-ups.
Indie-Guitar, instruments, acoustic, not always showing the artist
