Indie music is music produced independently without a major record label. Indie music magazines typically feature large dark photographs reflecting the dark colors of indie fashion. They also use bright colors to draw attention to band names. Indie clothing seen in magazines is often darker denim and colors that could be seen as old fashioned. Most indie bands started before 2000 so icons of the genre are now 30-40 years older, and magazines represent this with darker, older styles when featuring older bands but brighter colors for younger bands.

3. WHAT IS INDIE MUSIC
Independent music is music produced independently. Often shortened to indie music or indie, the
music is independently made by major commercial record labels. This process is very do-it-yourself,
the approach to recording and publishing is all done single handedly.
Indie music magazines mostly include a big main photo, but mostly in dark colours reflecting the
dark colors used in the indie fashion. There is more commonly than not a big title that Is partly
covered by the image. The bands names are mainly in bright and vibrant colours to attract attention
to the band itself.

4. INDIE CLOTHING IN MAGAZINES
The clothing that people that follow the indie music trend sometimes differs from what other people
that do not follow indie music as closely. Indie clothing can be see as ’old fashioned’, people wear
clothes that were somewhat popular before the year 2000.
In the magazines we see the clothing that people are wearing are mostly dark colours, a lot of
denim also. From the fly magazine we can see the vaccines are wearing very dark colours. This
creates a dark appearance showing there indie nature and band appearance.
Most magazines I have seen show the bands in older clothes that may not be seen as fashionable in
todays trends.

5. AGE’S
Most indie bands started way before the 2000’s. The men and woman that were part of them would
have been late teens mid twenty's, but most are still going strong 30-40 years later. Now most the
indie icon bands are getting older.
What I have seen in magazines is the older the bands and the people in them the magazines seem
to be darker and more old style indie, but magazines showing newer age younger bands use
brighter colours to attract there younger audience.
