Just saw the movie today, and I fucking loved it.
You can get the gist of it <a href=“http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133189/”>here.</a>
Its one of my favorites as well.
Yeah it’s a good movie. Pretty funny ar parts, especially when they were talking about that dude who did a 100 hits of acid and was still tripping out a week later.
unwraps this thread … oh… a thread… <:) how… um… thoughtful… thanks… i’ll use this… returns it to the store
I used to be in love with that movie =)
It’s okay.
Okay???// it’s an awesome movie.
that movie is vastly overrated within the circles it’s liked in.
There, exactly what I was thinking 
It would probly be a lot better if everyone I know who liked it wasn’t all “IT"ZS IT THE BES TMOVIE ON THEM ROLLARBLAIDS RUUUU~~~RRRHURHURHURHUR” In any case, it’s pretty good, not GREAT though.
I understand what you’re saying. I love all the “anarchist punk rawkerz” who watch it and don’t get the message.
and it’s not even really anarchism either, the kind the punks subscribe to is a rather immature iteration of the beliefs.
Yeah Merlin, that’s why I haven’t called myself ‘punk’ since I was like 14 or so People are just into the image, and spout off crap that they hear other important people say, but don’t really follow it or know what they’re talking about.
The most ridiculous thing abotu Punk Rock is: If you didn’t get into it because of a trend, you probly becamed immersed in the culture because you were alienated from more common social groups, so you identified with a bunch of other people who were the same way. But, instead of learning from that, and making their social group free of any such prejudices, they pull the same crap as the people that shunned them, and make a social group that alienates people with different hobbies/beliefs than them. What a bunch of crap.
that movie was definatly a goodie. However it was really depressing at the end. And any real punk knows that you hardcore is bullshit.
depressing at the end? I disagree.
It was a bit sad when Bob died, but you get over it quickly. I like how it showed that punk is just a teenage thing. You get over it eventually, and get a job… (even though I know a punk band that’s been playing for about 18 years around here, and still are great and in their 30s >>;)
“Chickenshit Conformist” - Dead Kennedys
Punk’s not dead
It just deserves to die
When it becomes another stale cartoon
A close-minded, self-centered social club
Ideas don’t matter, it’s who you know
If the music’s gotten boring
It’s because of the people
Who want everyone to sound the same
Who drive bright people out
Of our so-called scene
'Til all that’s left Is just a meaningless fad
Hardcore formulas are dogshit
Change and caring are what’s real
Is this a state of mind
Or just another label
The joy and hope of an alternative
Have become its own cliche
A hairstyle’s not a lifestyle
Imagine Sid Vicious at 35
Who needs a scene
Scared to love and to feel
Judging everythng
By loud fast rules appeal
Who played last night?
“I don’t know, I forgot.
But diving off the stage Was a lot of fun.”
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again,
Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents
What’s ripped us apart even more than drugs
Are the thieves and the goddamn liars
Flipping people off when they share their stuff
When someone falls are there any friends?
Harder core than thou for a year or two
Then it’s time to get a real job
Others stay home, it’s no fun to go out
When the gigs are wrecked by gangs and thugs
When the thugs form bands, look who gets record deals
From New York metal labels looking to scam
Who sign the most racist queerbashing bands they can find
To make a buck revving kids up for war
Walk tall, act small
Only as tough as gang approval
Unity is bullshit
When it’s under someone’s fat boot
Where’s the common cause
Too many factions
Safely sulk in their shells
Agree with us on everything
Or we won’t help with anythng
That kind of attitude
Just makes a split grow wider
Guess who’s laughing while the world explodes
When we’re all crybabies
Who fight best among ouselves
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again,
Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents
That farty old rock and roll attitude’s back
“It’s competition, man, we wanna break big.”
Who needs friends when the money’s good
That’s right, the '70s are back.
Cock-rock metal’s like a bad laxative
It just don’t move me, ya know?
The music’s OK when there’s more ideas than solos
Do we rally need the attitude too?
Shedding thin skin too quickly
As a fan it disappoints me
Same old stupid sexist lyrics
Or is Satan all you can think of?
Crossover is just another word
For lack of ideas
Maybe what we need
Are more trolls under the bridge
Will the metalheads finally learn something-
Or will the punks throw away their education?
No one’s ever the best
Once they believe their own press
“Maturing” don’t mean rehashing
Mistakes of the past
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again,
Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents
The more things change
The more they stay the same
We can’t grow
When we won’t criticize ourselves
The '60s weren’t all failure
It’s the '70s that stunk
As the clock ticks we dig the same hole
Music scenes ain’t real life
They won’t get rid of the bomb
Won’t eliminate rape
Or bring down the banks
Any kind of real change
Takes more time and work
Than changing channels on a TV set
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
So eager to please
Peer pressure decrees
Make the same old mistakes
Again and again,
Chickenshit conformist
Like your parents
Dead Kennedys are awesome.
Good song.
