The Rumble Strips - Not The Only Person



This video is set in London, and this is shown through the use of an underground train at the beginning. The people in hoodies and the gritty buildings portray London as quite a rough area, and adds to the genre characteristics. The lead singer's outfit also adds to the genre and helps to create a sense of the type of audience in which the video is aimed at. 

The lyrics "not the only person to get it wrong" could relate to the narrative in the video. It could be suggested that as the followers build up behind the singer, the more are confessing to be wrong in some way and could be fans of the music. Also when 'bank notes' is sung the singer drops money on the floor. The main singer knows he is more powerful than the gang and he his portrayed this way, by the way they all follow him.
