The genre of the music video, Broken by Jonah Kagen is pop. The most popular music singles are produced by the pop genre. Music that sells a large number of copies is considered a hit, and the most recent songs are listed each week in the charts. A song must be published as a single in order to reach the charts, even if the majority of singles are also included on albums. Some characteristics commonly referred to as the pop music formula, are virtually always present in songs that go on to become hits.

Narrative structure

With the help of the lyrics' interpretation, this music video depicts depression and sorrow and shows how although we all experience these emotions, some of us are simply better at hiding them than others. The accusation that "they aren't sad enough" and appearing needy are two things that depressed people worry about. He doesn't want to monopolise their time with an idle conversation. They have wreaked so much destruction and their thinking is so clouded that it's hard to know who they really are or where they are underneath all of their issues. They have consequently lost some of their identity. When Jonah claims that they are harming themselves physically in some way, he really means this. You simply overthink everything when you are in a delicate situation, even the little things like a letter.
