SLC PUNK - Generation X - Kiss Me Deadly

Cena final do filme SLC PUNK, em que toca a música do Generation X: Kiss Me Deadly.

That look he gets when the music kicks in . Yeah I remember that feeling . My friend and I in 1985 hearing the adolescents on a tape we ordered out of thrasher magazine. That spark, that feeling. This scene really nailed it.

[@TranzparentMethods]

That's exactly how I felt when I heard "Kill The Poor" at the end of this movie. I'm only 37, so hearing unadulterated anger from the hardcore punk bands of the early eighties blew my mind. Dead Kennedys is still one of my favorite bands, with Jello anyway. I'm not signing on for the mainstream, festival playing former Kennedys.

[@FireIsTheCIeanser]

God I still remember that Saturday summer afternoon when I listened to the Offspring's Ignition album for the first time. The fast heartbeat, the spark, feeling, realizing this *it*. This was the music you were born to listen to. Magical.

[@wynfrithnichtwo8423]

Yes it did capture that moment when you are beginning adolescences and discovering new things, and then there is that day when you come across something that just fully resonates and clicks within you. It is so beautiful and tragic in a way because that magic is basically kinda gone.

[@madmartigan1634]

And then you listen to it 1000 times in a row and never get tired of it!

[@mildred714]

You mean when the drums kick in…

[@user-zu2jo7zz4d]

Such an iconic ending. Great movie, great soundtrack.

[@sSanctum]

This scene reminds me so much of me and my cousin, nerdy loners who only enjoyed playing videos games and sitting alone at the school lunch room. The moment we found punk rock music it changed our whole lives.

[@mc98smusicmoviereviews93]

All true punk-rock fans should see this film at least once. It’s almost a rite of passage of sorts. Also, it’s cool to hear Billy Idol at his youngest (and arguably, his best).

[@TranzparentMethods]

"It's NEW..." That will always give me goosebumps. Mainly, because this was me until I discovered punk rock. Being yourself and not giving a damn about what others think of you.

[@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253]

Wasn't that what the kid was doing before hand though without punk?

[@TranzparentMethods]

@@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253 Well spoken. That's pretty much it. For real. Punk for me, just made me realize there were a whole lot of other people like me.

[@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253]

@@TranzparentMethods I feel there was a culture around punk that allowed those misfits to reclaim some of their pride and confidence. Its kind of hard to explain in depth but I think the optics alone pretty much drill the point home. You can be proud to just be yourself all you want but if you're being abused at school daily for listening to Rush like all the other nerds then its hard for a kid to feel proud. Punk gave them a sort of shield to do that but still find a somewhat acceptable niche in society. Its funny its like all about not fitting it. But in reality it IS about fitting in. Its just about finding a way to do so without sacrificing who you are.

[@TranzparentMethods]

@@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253 I like that, finding a way to fit in while still being yourself. Paraphrasing of course. I've also been a Juggalo since the mid-90s, same thing. It's about finding a place to belong without sacrificing your own personality. I believe I've done that.

[@themistoklestheodosopoulos6253]

@@TranzparentMethods tbh I'm pretty young in terms of this convo (just turned 32) but I remember as a kid in HS I hung out with lots of punks of lots of kids who liked hip hop or classic rock bands like Rush and Zeppelin etc. and I think what binded all of us was weed lmao. Not even joking. It was like for kids in the mid 2000s living in NY in the neighborhoods we were from if you weren't like a guido into house music and cheezy radio hip hop like Paul Wall or some shit then you were weird and all of us weirdos basically chilled and smoked pot. One minute Cypress Hill could be playing the other minute it could be Zeppelin or Leeway.

[@mikojovanovic3765]

when bob plays gen. x its the exact same feeling and reaction we all had...

[@hansmaulwurf6899]

My best friend came up with this movie in our teenage days.He was the one who delivered this whole punk rock thing to me. We imagined beein Steve and Bob. Me Steve, him Bob. My dear friend passed away last year. Seems like tragic irony that he would share Bob's fate. This scene is breaking my heart, but I will love this film forever. It is a peace of memory of the best guy I have ever known. Rest in Peace Christoph

[@dagony7383]

Generation x were so much better than anything idol ever did in his solo career.

[@TranzparentMethods]

This movie introduced me to so many bands that I love now, pushing 40. Generation X, Adolescents, Dead Kennedys, Fear. I bought this soundtrack and I fell in love with it. It wasn't the "pop punk" I was used to. Sure, I was a big fan of the Ramones by this point and the Pistols, well, I never really liked the Sex Pistols. I was also a big fan of The Clash by this point as well. This was my stepping stone into not so well known first/second generation punk bands that I didn't know about, in the late 90's. Nobody was really talking about the Kennedys or Fear in the late 90's. This movie turned me on to so much music that I still love today.

[@dacray6266]

Exactly. Punk rock is not conforming and blazing your own trail and not following mindlessly.

[@bloodaonadeline8346]

@@dacray6266 punk rock is definitely conforming. Have you spent anytime around punks?

[@TranzparentMethods]

Not if you have your own ideas. I'm 40 and not conforming, I think for myself, while listening to others experiences. I work with the elderly now as a Recreational Therapist. The reason why? Because I think differently than the average cat and bring my different ideologies to keep our residents happy.

[@dustincollins8489]

I'm now 40 and have been in bands from Metal, Punk to Pop/punk to horror punk. Music that hits your ear and makes you feel something is important. Regardless of what genre.

[@LetsGoMetsGo33]

I've been a punk rock music addict for over 30 years, and I also could trace it to a moment like that. It was the mid 80s, I was about 11. I already loved the Clash (the Combat Rock album) and liked the Ramones (the Rock N' Roll HS movie), but I don't think I thought of either as "punk rock", or considered it lifestyle music really. So, it was Heavy Metal times where I lived, and if not for my older brother, I'm sure I would have went that way. I was definitely looking for aggressive and transgressive, but big bro disapproved of metal and that was important to me. Anyway, he let me play his records when he wasn't home. Nothing "did the trick" until I put on a 12 inch 45 of "Anarchy in the UK". I swear I thought it meant "archery", like bows and arrows. So, I had the wrong speed on, 33 rpm. And, slowed, the opening chords were a roar, followed by a satanic sounding Johnny Rotten: "Riiiiight, Nooowwww (maniacal laugh) IIIIII aaaam the AAAAnnntiii Chhhhriiisssst!!!!" I was like "My brother likes this? Awesome!" So that was it, I never looked back, and got deeper into the music than he did. I mean he loved a number of bands, and seen many of the classic ones, but it's not like me, lol.

[@gastonriveradominguez7340]

I think about this ending often.

[@mikojovanovic3765]

''it's new'' always gets me... Brings back memories

[@markgiordonello6710]

although it's a stone cold cult classic; s.l.c. punk still doesn't get enough respect as a musical movement movie as it should. it's spot on for the mid 80's. a magical time

[@lucasflint5124]

Simply one of the best movie endings out there
