The last few days ive been watching punk rock movies on youtube and google I would of posted links to let thoughs who want to watch them but i not allowed to post links yet sorry..

but any ways the first one i watched was called "Punk Attitude" which talk more about the attitude and no the music of punk about being punk from the 50's to now ....

the second is "Punk is Not Dead" which i thought was along a well informative movie but did make a few points that punk did not die but it did sellout
to corporate America and the whole.

But I thin both of these are good movies for though that want to learn the history of punk

I've seenn punk is not dead, a good movie, yes, but nothing I hadn't already seen in "American Hardcore"

Good to Know now i dont need to watch that movie which i was going too..

No way dude I would definitely still watch American Hardcore, it covers a lot more stuff, I was just saying Punk's not Dead didn't say anything American hardcore had already showed me, still though American Hardcore covers even more.

American Hardcore is mediocre. Doesn't cover a lot of what it should have.

Like what?

EDIT: I'm not saying you're wrong - just curious about which bands that you consider important and were neglected by the film.

hiu

The obvious Dead Kennedys and Misfits
Mostly everything from the South (MDC excluded from this for obvious reason)
Siege aren't even mentioned in the book let alone the movie
They interview Moby which was a good waste of time
etc

Potential stupid question, but what did you think of SLC Punk?
*curious*

I personally thought it was a bunch of commercialized garbage.

The original Suburbia has to be the best punk movie of all time, and as far as documentaries go, not much beats Decline of the Western Civilization Part. I.

I didn't think it had much of a point either.
