When compiling an image of what I assume to be a 'typical' You Are The Empire fan, I would base this upon fans of the Indie Pop genre. This is usually defined by an individual or groups image. This look is more cutting edge and extreme, not conforming to any general style but instead,offering several statements from one single outfit. The costume of a 'typical' fan commonly suits a general vintage apparel for example, denim shirts and iconic t-shirts. This also includes items of clothing such as waistcoats, cardigans and skinny jeans. Furthermore, this follows the fashion of Indie Pop bands including, Bastille and The Wombats. Other music genre interests include Indie Rock and Alternative, genres which suit a niche audience in opposition to those which are more mainstream such as Pop and R&B. The favoured environment of an Indie fan would be that of music cultural festivals, thrift shops or Urban Outfitters, allowing the introduction of beautiful noise and socialisation.
The sense of socialising can be seen in a variety of Indie Pop music videos for instance, 'She's So Lovely' by Scouting For Girls and 'Techno Fan' by The Wombats. Like wise to the typical 'Indie' fan, music videos by the artist Bastille often portray their character as a singeton, conforming to the suggested differentation of the 'Indie' fan.
