Representation of males and females in Indie Rock

 The genre Indie Rock mainly consists of male artists who are mainly in bands such as Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines, The Neighbourhood, Two Door Cinema Club, Kasabian and Foals. There are also male artists who aren't in bands such as Jake Bugg and Miles Kane. Although there are mainly males there are also female artists such as Gemma Hayes, Lana Del Rey, Laura Marling and Emily Haines. But there are also female artists in bands such as Nanna Brydis Hilmarsdottir (Of Monsters & Men), Zooey Deschanel (She & Him), Elizabeth Mitchell, Karla Schickele, Jean Cook, Ruth Keating (Ida), Elena Tonra (Daughter) and Hannah Reid (London Grammar).
Majority of the Indie Rock audience is male, but there are also female fans of Indie Rock music. Their audiences are also over the age of 16 as mostly Indie Rock bands have their audience in mosh pits during their shows, most of the people participating in the mosh pits are male.
Males and females in Indie Rock are mainly presenting their music, not trying to show their sexuality like Pop Music would. Artist from this genre don't really appear in the charts but they still do have quite a wide range audience for example Arctic Monkeys are gradually becoming the biggest band in Britain. The females in Indie Rock do not show their sexuality as much as females in Pop Music but they do show some such as Lana Del Rey. Usually both males and females in this genre are photographed with cigarettes. This shows that if the audience were younger they'd also want to smoke as they are very impressionable, but as their audience is older they will understand that they don't have to do everything their favourite artist does. Both genders style is very important, they both wear very fashionable clothing. Females style is mainly Hippie Chic, Eclectic, Vintage, Bohemian and Hipster. Males usually wear skinny jeans (black), tops/shirts, vans or converse or beanies too. Males style can be quite Hipster and Vintage.
