The Script are part of the alternative music genre which is an umbrella term for underground music derived from punk in the 1960's and 70's. Alternative music emerged in the 1980's and continued to grow during the 1990's. Bands like R.E.M, Oasis, Weezer and The Strokes are included in this genre. There are many sub genres like indie, britrock and Grunge for example.
The common conventions seen in Alternative music are the use of common instruments which are the Guitar, Bass and Drums. These all appear in the Script's video (Previous Post) and we will conform to this convention of Alternative music as it is important to use band shots with instruments as they are important pieces of iconography within the genre.
