Question 6

The genre of the music video: 'Broken Record' by Katy b is 2-step. 2-step is a form of UK garage which began its rise to prominence on pirate radio stations around London. Fans of this genre appreciate the lack of a traditional beat; a typical 2-step drum pattern features a kick on the first and third beat. Furthermore, the fans of this genre like to see regular street, club or home locations that they can relate too. A lot of the fans like to see almost a theatrical piece in the music videos, like the track 'Broken Record' there is a small plot to the video which doesn't necessarily coincide with the lyrics but the fans appreciate this level of creativity. Generally, the fans expect to see quite regular 'everyday clothing' in the music videos to further portray an image of a regular, relatable life.
