Genre Analysis

In this video, there are two genres running along side of each other - rock and rap - both displaying contradicting genre styles and conventions.
Run DMC - Rap
  • Organised, clean, choreographed sets - obviously styled
  • Synchronised dress codes (glasses, sharp suits, shoes, hats)
  • No instruments, focus on mics (holding them) and the decks/buttons/technology
  • Prominent mixing/club sounds in audio
  • Crossing arms, chilled, cool, relaxed persona
  • Black, heavy built men

Aerosmith - Rock
  • Big hairs (over eyes), skin tight leopard print Lycra costumes, metal accessories (bracelet, necklace), leather jackets
  • Focus on electric guitar/drums/Marshall amps
  • Guitar riffs prominent in the audio
  • Unorganised, trashy, smoky sets
  • Mick Jagger style dancing and posing with the mic stand (with Aerosmith's visual motif of the scarf)
  • Smashing the set, angry, passionate
  • 'Screaming' style vocals and facial expressions
  • Improvised/spontaneous white men
