Punk: The Decline of Western Civilization (doc)


The Decline of Western Civilization
(Penelope Spheeris via Playdough) This punk rock classic is an American documentary looking into the Los Angeles punk scene in 1979 and 1980. An intimate look at the punk subculture of the 1980s, this documentary (the first of three) captures the ambiance. LA's unique variety of hardcore punk rock circa 1980 is the focus with bands like the Latinx Alice Bag Band, Black Flag, Germs, Circle Jerks, FEAR, Catholic Discipline, and X.
