- There is throughout the genre a theme of being dark, emotional and meaningful. This is shown through the dark lighting in videos and photoshoots and heavy, meaningful lyrics with a strong sound. Often, the colours black and white will be used to connote seriousness, and emotion.
- Long and/or wide camera angles are normally used to allow the whole band to be seen and to show music instruments being played.There are also close ups of the artists playing the instruments, this is to show the members individualy and to create an intense feel to the video.
- The Performance in most videos shows the band playing together and somtimes shoows each member plain separately, or in some videos the band are shown to be playing separately untill the last chours then they come together to give the video a more dramatic ending.
- The costume of the band members are typically seen wearing black with leather jackets and ripped jeans and boots. this is to give the band a more powerfull look. they would also sometimes have lots of jewellery even more typically they have messy black/long hair as this is used to create a larger head banging effect. they also typically have lots of tattoos showing as this is a connotation of being strong and also tough.
