Post One: Image and Genre.
This music video is ‘The Kill’, released January 24th, 2006. In this music video several of the band members wear eyeliner as part of their costume, they also all wear black plain clothing(shown left). Although 30STM don't have one specific genre, they are a mix of several there are similar artists around to compare them to, for example; Panic! At The Disco (shown below).
Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tradgedies. <- Link.
Some of the ways in which they are similar is the use of formal clothing as part of the costume, with both bands wearing suits and white gloves in the performance section of their video and eyeliner. Both bands also include both narrative and performance in the videos.

However, over time 30STM image has changed considerably, with the band ditching the eyeliner and black clothing, for brightly coloured clothes and hair (Jared Leto)
Another way in which 30STM has changed is that over the years their music has become slightly more mainstream.
Generic Conventions: Guitars, Drums, Mic Stand etc.
I think that the style of the video has changed a bit, with more outdoor locations being used and trying to convey a stronger message to the target audience.
