What is Brexit? The term 'Brexit' is referred to the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union. The term was created from the word combinations of 'Britain' and 'Exit'.

Along with narrative, there are also codes of crime-drama which are used in television shows that make it easy for the audience to identify the genre. For example, action seq...
'Riptide' Music Video Genre and context The genre is clear almost right from the start and the genre of this music identifies as indie-folk with a pop undertone to it. It can be seen as indie because of the style of the song as well as the music video that accompanies it. The fact that this song is heavily based on the indie genre, it is quite unique as it is music not released from a major label and rather only when Vance Joy gained attention to then be released to Atlantic Records which is a well-known sub-label of Warner Records.
