Representation of Q magazine

The Arctic Monkeys are represented in this magazine as a typical indie rock band. Their music is very indie rock, and this is not just because they want to play that style of music. This genre of music is highly popular in the current

times, and this is why they have rebranded themselves as an indie rock band with their new album release in 2013.

They have the ‘slick’ hairstyles, the aviator glasses and the dark clothing which are all associated with the typical indie look. In other photos they are seen with the quiffs as well as vintage denim jackets and Hawaiian shirts which add to the indie vibe. This look is very mainstream at the moment, so this will appeal to a broader audience, making the band more popular. This is why they have been

represented as an indie rock band.

They are made to look ‘sexy’ as this will widen their fan base as women will want to be with them, as well as guys want to look like them so they can get the

female attention too.

Most of their songs have infectious riffs and catchy chorus’s which are memorable and stick in people’s heads. This is all part of how they are

represented, they change their song style to make it easier for people to remember them.
