 A. Alternative/Indie- Alternative pop/rock is essentially a catch-all term for post-punk bands from the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s. There is a multitude of musical styles within alternative rock, from the sweet melodies of jangle-pop to the disturbing metallic grind of industrial, yet are all tied together by a similar aesthetic -- they all existed and operated outside of the mainstream.

B. Marketing Trends - Since most  of these bands aspire to be like the old rock groups - but in a new way - they try to Market to the older group by making cassette tapes, limited sets of vinyls , and nostalgic tracks. These artist are also heavily on social media since digital marketing is an important aspect of a marketing nowadays.They use apps like Twitter , Instagram, Snap chat , Facebook , and many more sites to advertise their content.

C.  having a heavy presence on social media is key to our success. There's not many bands that have 2 guys and 2 girls , so will definitely try to embrace our band like that. Both guys and girls can like our band simultaneously. Each character will have it own style.So fans can directly connect with that one band member.This creates a Connection with the band and the fans and can help the band grow. 

D. our website is one of the most important aspects to market our products.Its the HUB of our fan base and where they can connect with us , and find out information on upcoming events , New Merch , and fans can message us with any inquires or suggestions they might have.This is why the Website is super important to us. Our vinyls are also a huge hit since most people miss the nostalgic feeling of owning one and playing them at home. The vinyls have a huge picture of the band in the front.

E. during this project i learned a lot on how to market a certain product. Websites are usually ways to show off products and a HUB for fans to come and buy whatever product a band is offering. Heavy use of social media is also a way we can connect with the fans and market our content. Its a rapid way of promoting anything a band puts out there.With the music video I also learned that its important to create value and a story so that the audience really engages in it. That's another way we can have a connection with a fan and build a fan-band relationship.
