The survey provided useful information for creating a music video targeted at a younger alternative genre audience. While most respondents were male, insights from other genres could help attract females. Respondents preferred a narrative, slow pace, and lyrics matching the video. Incorporating some faster scenes and artist performance could broaden the audience without losing those seeking a typical alternative genre experience. The results informed how to engage the target demographic while potentially appealing to some outside it.
