SLC Punk Does the Scene Justice 

And remember. There was NEVER a sequel to SLC Punk....no, never happened ever.

I just watched the movie recently and I'm so mad at myself for not watching it sooner (I'm 32 at this time for context). While I'm not a punk and never was, I was a teen into alternative aesthetic and alt rock (and later found my love for goth/goth rock) but I always had a casual fascination with the punk scene and I'm sure that teen me would've really enjoyed the movie. I will admit that the message was a tough pill because I do think one can still enjoy punk and dress in it in older age but I do agree and like the sentiment of the movie which is be true to yourself as well as knowing that living with a huge nihilistic view on life does have it's pitfalls.The only thing that would've made the movie solid would've been if we saw Steve-O listening to some Punk music on a CD-Player while he was sitting on a bench to show that you don't have to give up a music style you like as well as to commemorate his friendship with Bob and how he got him into punk) but that's just me lol Overall I enjoyed the movie and can't wait to watch it again in the future haha.

The funny thing is I remember when this film came out it was considered poser trash by a lot of people I knew in the punk scene at the time. The first time I watched it I admittedly thought it was a little corny myself. I rewatched it a few years back and came to realize its merits especially as a former member of the LDS church. Great review and video!

I first was a little pissed at this movie for always mixing up anarchism and chaos. But i think this is kind of the point. Part of the fun is the main characters dont really knowing everything about what they talk about, what they do or what they want most of the time. They are in a process of finding themselves and wildly theorize all over the place. I like to be with with anarchists and left activists in general, but i also find comfort in the nihilism and nonsense of punk and in chaos. It's inside me all the time and when it's around me, i am at peace.

The irony that this movie is a punk right of passage… when the message is essentially calling the fan base posers.

I was 12 when this movie came out and it changed the trajectory of my entire life (along w/ myriad other media) I Regret Nothing!

For the rhythm

Cool video! I had a similar CD case and turned my nose up at anything outside of the punk realm. Now I'm a huge pophead 20 years later...

I am so glad guys like you get the scene. No one gets it.

Truley the best mainstream movie on the punk scene

I saw this opening day in the theater and my friends and I plus 2 other strangers made 5. But 5 in Memphis Tennessee is kinda impressive.

SLC punk > catcher in the rye

Damn no Stu from Scream on your list? Does it at least get an honorable mention?

dropping the ball with Lillard in Wing Commander and Scream. But no quarrel with your picks either

I remember when i first watched this movie i was like 13 and it felt like i was being fed propaganda on how to kill vibes

Nice video!

cool

Stevo was the ultimate poseur & sellout. SLC Punk is the John Hughes version of Punk Rock.

sorry, but no. this is among the most shallow depictions of anarchism and punk culture in general. then again, can't really expect much from hollywood besides defanged sensationalism.

Nobody will change my mind: That is Marshal from HIMYM. It’s also funny that Bob is basically straight-edge! 😂 But the craziest part of this movie is HOW CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED IT IS.
