Rock/Metal:
Many rock/metal music videos portray mystery and supernatural. The use of dark, low-key lighting also gives off a dark atmosphere, making it go well with the type of music. Narrative use within rock/metal music videos tend to lack verisimilitude as well, and tend to be depressing and serious. Band performances are emphasized highly within this type of genre of music videos, and the use of power is exaggerated.
Indie/Alternative:
Many indie/alternative music videos are cut to the beat, and the editing matches song tempo. Interesting mise-en-scene choices are also common to see within this type of genre music videos. Performance tends to be emphasized as well within this genre, with a little bit of narrative. There tends to be many band shots within these music videos, and a lot of them. Indie/alternative music videos tend to be more experimental, with subverting conventions, the use of disjuncture and intertexuality.
