The genre of this music video is pop rock, this is shown through the black background of the music video saying Riot in writing all over it, this links to theme of pop rock/punk because it links to the anger that is portrayed through this genre. The bands clothing, the black tops paired with the bright red trousers link to the genre as these are typical colours of rockers to wear, the red and black together could symbolise anger and death which is what seems to be the main themes of rock/ punk music. The lead singer has her hair died with yellow/orange on the ends, this shows she is energetic which is a typical aspect of a pop/rock music video.
Voyeurism
Voyeurism is shown in this music video abit, this is through the main charecter that the song is a about being a "whore" she is seen in the music video kissing a
boy who already has a girlfriend and is seen to be wearing a dress where her breasts are on show which is provacate to be to wearing in a high school.
The lyrics show voyeursim too "once a whore your nothing more", this is to say that once a women has sexual relations multiple times she is labelled with the word "whore" and can never leave this label however this does not apply to men as men are supposed to biologically have a sex drive. We also see in the lyrics that it says, "there's a million other girls who'd do it just like you, looking as innocent as possible to get to who" suggesting that there are many women in the world that are seen to be "whores" and the fact that they are looking "innocent" suggests that many people don't realise there intentions which always turn out to be sexual.
Link between Music video visuals and lyrics
The lyrics are talking about a girl who is a "whore" who steals other peoples boyfriend in this case it is her story that she is talking about.
In the first verse the lyrics says "shes got a body like an hour glass its ticking like a clock" in the music video the camera focuses on her hourglass figure as she walks through school. When we see her walk through school she almost outcasts the cheerleaders who seem attractive but are nothing to her as she sees herself as more important. There is also a link between the visuals and the lyrics through when it says, "Looking as innocent as possible to get to who" when this lyric is said the camera focuses on the girls innocent face to hide the manipulative "Whore" inside of her.
In the music video we clearly see that the main character is the girl and by her provocative dress we can clearly see that this "whore" in the lyrics is the one in the music video. We also see her kissing a boy when he seems to be having an intimate moment with his girlfriend, this furthermore shows that she is the girl as she has attempted to destroy there relationship by kissing the boy. This part of the song also links to the lyrics at the beginning of the song "when I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth".
