VMA's Evaluation


Rise Against – Make It Stop (September’s Children)

Our chosen winners for the “Best video with a Message” category.

The music video features occasional clips of the band performing in a school hall, this fits the characteristics of the genre as Rise Against are an alternative rock band which are liked a lot by rebellious teenagers because of their political and emotional messages.
The lyrical to visual representation in the music video is very limited, but there are a few parts of the video which give the hint of the relationship between visuals and lyrics, the main example being when the lead singer names of young sufferers of depression/discrimination who committed suicide. Their names come up in text on the screen.
