Punk rock died when the first kid said...

So apparently there's a new documentary coming out called Punk's [note punctuation] Not Dead.

Here's a fun little game: Go to the cast page, and then imagine the bands pitted against each other in a deathmatch scenario. My favorite combo so far is Sham 69 v. Simple Plan.

Good Charlotte? Wah? My 13 yr-old neice loves them.

Let me be the first to say:

It is now.

I never really thought that anyone actually LISTENED to the Addicts, I just assumed they made those t-shirts so that the girlfriends of skinheads could feel included.

Dammit. This is one of those movies I'm probably going to wind up seeing in the theater and then regretting, either because I'm the oldest one there or worse... I'm not. Then I'll watch it another 4 or 5 times when it pops up on IFC or Sundance or whateverthefuck late night cable "arts" channel, and each time I'll be looking forward to that one Dead Kennedys or Angelic Upstarts or Social Distortion moment that somehow didn't get picked up by any other documentary filmmaker. Dammit. Dammit.

If a punk rock-themed documentary wasn't made by Don Letts or an angry 16 year old with a camcorder, it's not worth watching.

But on the bright side, at least someone remembers Black Market Baby..

My teenage niece says Good Charlotte "sits down to pee" and she doesn't even *smoke* yet. Maybe there's hope.
