This is an interesting look at the genesis of the punk movement. It is full of rage and shouting and hard, loud music that expresses the discontent of a generation. The cameras follow several bands on stage and in their home lives, showing their daily lives and their pain.
Punk music is really about shouting through the music to get to a really sublime place. Everyone in the audience is headbanging and they frequently have to get security guards to stop fights that break out.
The director of this film, Penelope Spheeris, went on to direct several SNL movies in the 90s, including "Wayne's World" and "Black Sheep".
