History of pop punk
Pop-punk is a fusion genre that combines elements of punk rock with pop music. It emerged from power pop in the 1970s, as exemplified by bands like the Ramones. Pop-punk grew in popularity during the 1990s with bands like Green Day and Blink-182 releasing multi-platinum albums. While pop-punk saw widespread success in the late 90s/early 2000s, its popularity declined around 2008 as many seminal bands went on hiatus and its future is uncertain given the evolving music industry and genres.
Indie/Folk Genre Conventions
Indie folk music began in the 1990s and was influenced by folk music from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s as well as country music and indie rock. There are common codes and conventions used in indie folk music videos including long shots of the artist playing instruments, establishing shots of scenery, and close-ups of artists. Lighting is typically ambient or from fairy lights and matches the mood of the song. Editing is usually subtle with soft focuses on the artist's face and location, often ending with a fade to black. While there may not be a strong link between lyrics and imagery, there is usually a link between the music and images, and artists are commonly seen singing.

Audience representation auteurs
Music videos can target different audiences - while some appeal more to teenagers, others aim for older viewers through themes in the videos. Since their inception, music videos have strongly influenced popular culture through their style and content. With digital TV and sites like YouTube, music videos now target niche audiences and allow unsigned bands to find mainstream success by self-publishing their videos online. Certain directors have become known as "auteurs" of the music video format due to their distinctive styles of camerawork, editing, and other techniques. User-generated content has transformed conventions by introducing a more DIY aesthetic.
