He wasn't really ranting about the British. Just Americans riding the British punk wave to the point that they'd even fake the accent and clothing. When the entire point of Punk was to not conform and just do. Could have worn a raincoat, pink slippers, and a Scooby Doo decoder ring. As long as you partied hard. Fought hard. Fucked hard. And Rocked out harder.
Exactly. People call me a “punk accountant” because I would come in clothes I didn’t care about, had a harness bag with narcs and me and my friends stuff, and glasses. But all the New York hardcore legends treated me like family and no one could talk shit about me. When I saw this movie his character made me proud to not look like everyone else.

I don't and have never lived in SLC, but I live in a strange area where the SLC punks move after they got tired of SLC. The thing that impressed me most about this movie growing up was just how accurate to the dirty ghetto kids of even my area, a fair distance away. I *knew* a stevo, I was Sean basically, and I've met. So. So. SO. many bobs.and they were all like that, really. Burnt out and fried kids who ran away to live in abandoned drug filled buildings to escape whatever was going on at home. They were angry, messed up kids with issues who were severely misunderstood by their world and family. Half the kids I would meet at these basement shows would openly admit to me, a complete stranger, that no one who cared about them had a single damn idea about where they could possibly be right now, and if they disappeared, they would never be found. They were proud of it even. A lot of those kids did disappear. One minute they would he there, rocking out in the pit, and the next they were never seen again. I tell this story if only to say, parents, please listen to your kids. Talk to them, help them with their problems. I've seen so many poor sweet babies lifeless on the floor of someone else's basement over the most minor problems at home. If your kid is doing something you don't understand, or behaving in a way you don't like, don't fight them. You will lose your child forever. RIP Heroin Bob.
This movie shaped the best punks IMO, was super real and didn't really hold back. And for sure instilled the better aspects of the screen you don't find in the newer generation of punks

This movie had such unique and interesting Characters. Mark and Mike are my favorites but no one person is alike and its great at adding to the story. "So Mark, whats up old man?" "FUCK!" lol...
back in the 00s, i loved this movie...even dyed my hair blue (amongst many colors) because of Stevo, it was this day that i realized, holy fawk, Jason Siegel was that character in this movie! time to rewatch this as a 37 year old XD
@@Dave_Lakin well even though Converge Is considered “hardcore” to me they still resonate heavily as Punk and their music Is some of the fastest, hardest, most passionate stuff out there. That’s why most punks that are true Punk eventually get Into hardcore like Weekend Nachos and Counterparts exc… the Intensity and passion Is like Punk 2.0
Wow, am I seriously the ONLY person to ever comment on this fucking AMAZING scene from a fucking AMAZING movie?!? That’s a major shame. This movie should be in the back of every single persons mind who grew up in the 90’s punk scene. Unfortunately, we all have to grow up though. But fuckin hell this movie still holds water and makes me just want to say fuck it all again and go back to my old ways lol.
@@iamthepapi7251 Aww I remember when losers used to use that word to try and elevate themselves above those they saw as “less punk than them” 😂 Good memories. Thanks 👍
Remember when punk was about rebelling against authority and not bitching about posers and ranting about scenes in a mall? Damn that was a long time ago.
I was never Punk. But I loved this movie, because there were people that were Punk. Actual Punk, not Posers. And they saw a janked system, and they had real rage against it. And a very few of them rose up to do great things and impact change. More change is needed. There is always a place in an imperfect society for Punks.
There was a time when I went to local shows twice a week. All in all I eventually realized we're all posers looking for an easy way out. Read get in the van by henry rollins. For its peak of hardcore in early 80s it was truly violent, self destructive and depressing without all the consumerist bs. The scene today is completely stale compared to its peak.
I wouldn't claim to have ever been punk (especially with most people's definition of punk), but my favorite punk bands looked more like computer nerd dorks than punks.
@@mao3394 didn't really get into them. I'm thinking of East Bay Ray and Klaus Floride from DK, Husker Du, the Wright brothers from Nomeansno, D. Boone from Minutemen at a few points.
Thats whats so special about this movie. Not only are the graphics cool and beautiful. But this character is also breaking the fourth wall, connecting to the audience.
@@MrSqurk yes that was part of the whole point of the film, being punk isnt a look or what music u listen to etc. its a mentality. Jasons character didnt need to be punk by dressing like one, he had the spirit of one and thats all that matters.
When this film came out some of my punk friends realized that we were kinda being posers. Soon afterwards we all ditched our Mohawks and started dressing kind of basic. No more spiked jackets and crazy hair. Just t-shirts, jeans and converse.
It's fun. But getting deep into it was truly self destructive and depressing as a result. I realized everyone at the scene were posers except the bands who contributed the sound week after week.
My first punk show was in a dirty little venue called The Cobalt, RIP, everyone called me a poser cos I wasn't wearing a jacket with patches all over and ripped pants. I was confused cos I always thought that there was no real punk since it was about being independent and raw, making a stand against the tide, but I was wrong. This was in 2013 long after real punk died but I still loved it, I drank, I was in every pit and started a few, I stage dived, hooked up with the hottest chick I saw, big mohawk, long legged, bruised knuckled, fuck off chick, stole whiskey for some guys who couldn't get in the show, and stopped a fight between two old dudes reliving the golden days, did my first bump of coke that night. By the end I didn't care what people thought cos I had the time of my life, went home bruised and drunk and woke up for school the next day and date with that girl.
That's what punk is all about. Not giving a fuck about what anyone thinks and living your life how YOU want to do it. Only real posers think you have to dress a certain way or act a certain way to be "punk."
My first punk show in 2001 was literally the funnest night of my entire adolescent/teenage years, not only that but it was verbal abuse who are legendary and was in the live music capitol Austin TX.
I took acid and tripped sooo hard when I first watched this way back in the day. Man, I was fucked up. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I was tripping balls though, so it made way too much sense. You decide.
I’ll never understand what happened to the guy who played Bob I see actors like this all the time from the 90s co starring with big renown actors while never getting any roles or recognition. It’s kinda depressing just thinking about it honestly

I'll always love the fact that it's Cereal Killer from Hackers doing an existential piece on Posers lol
He's basically just describing himself.
This movie had such unique and interesting Characters. Mark and Mike are my favorites but no one person is alike and its great at adding to the story.
"So Mark, whats up old man?"
"FUCK!"
lol...
Mike was the coolest of them all.
Grew up in Edmonton Alberta Canada and we had this same vibe growing up. Punks & preps dishing it back n forth
fav movie after all these yrs
Holy shiz, glasses guy is how I met your mother guy! Bet he says "I didn't sell out, I bought in" too.
back in the 00s, i loved this movie...even dyed my hair blue (amongst many colors) because of Stevo, it was this day that i realized, holy fawk, Jason Siegel was that character in this movie! time to rewatch this as a 37 year old XD
Mark was my favorite character.
Mine was Sean and he was the only character in the second movie that I liked. Sean and Bob remind me of friends I had growing up here in SLC.
I saw this movie so long ago... I just realized the tall guy in the polo shirt with glasses is Jason Segel! Holy crap...
it was this, Snatch and Fight Club in my early highschool years within my friend's circle. Ooh boy.
Yes!!! Same !! 👏👏
And then there’s “Converge”… most people will never know
What do you know about "Converge?"
@@Dave_Lakin well even though Converge Is considered “hardcore” to me they still resonate heavily as Punk and their music Is some of the fastest, hardest, most passionate stuff out there. That’s why most punks that are true Punk eventually get Into hardcore like Weekend Nachos and Counterparts exc… the Intensity and passion Is like Punk 2.0
Converge !! 👏👏👏 my first hardcore show when I was a kid!! Still listen to them! Seeing them live for the first time was life changing 😆🤙
Wow, am I seriously the ONLY person to ever comment on this fucking AMAZING scene from a fucking AMAZING movie?!?
That’s a major shame.
This movie should be in the back of every single persons mind who grew up in the 90’s punk scene.
Unfortunately, we all have to grow up though.
But fuckin hell this movie still holds water and makes me just want to say fuck it all again and go back to my old ways lol.
Your a fn poser!!
@@iamthepapi7251 Aww I remember when losers used to use that word to try and elevate themselves above those they saw as “less punk than them” 😂
Good memories. Thanks 👍
@@Vikanuck Punk bitch
@Socio Pathetic clearly you haven’t seen “Punk Isn’t Dead”... 🤨
Best way I've ever heard that out. I feel exactly the same way, born in 94" even
Remember when punk was about rebelling against authority and not bitching about posers and ranting about scenes in a mall? Damn that was a long time ago.
“I looove LIVIN’ IN THE CITY!!”
Beef! Beef! Beef! Beef bologna!
THERE'S SO MANY OF US! THERE'S SO MANY OF US! THERE'S SO MANY OF US! THERE'S SO MANY OF US! LET'S HAVE A WAR!!!
I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU
"We did it harder"
Discharge: "hold my gritty distortion and d-beat drumming"
*Laughs in D.R.I.*
Lol
Suicidal Tendencies, Cryptic Slaughter, S.O.D., M.O.D, Crumbsuckers, The Accused, Corrosion Of Conformity. Need I go on?
@@mr.wallstreet718 napalm death
siege.
6:03 I love the "reveal" that the venue is the SLC Indian Center.
This is 💯 where Marshall Eriksen came from.
"It pains me to hear you say that Mark, it really does."
I was never Punk.
But I loved this movie, because there were people that were Punk. Actual Punk, not Posers. And they saw a janked system, and they had real rage against it.
And a very few of them rose up to do great things and impact change.
More change is needed. There is always a place in an imperfect society for Punks.
There was a time when I went to local shows twice a week. All in all I eventually realized we're all posers looking for an easy way out. Read get in the van by henry rollins. For its peak of hardcore in early 80s it was truly violent, self destructive and depressing without all the consumerist bs. The scene today is completely stale compared to its peak.
Every character in this movie was a poseur.
I'm really pleased to see that there's at least one comment that spells the word correctly.
Punks complaining about people who pretend to be punk is the least punk thing ever
7:11 that quick palm to the ribcage was an american welcome. gg’s
imagine a punk talking like that in 2021
Right? Those Nazis would lynch him. All speech is policed with current punks
That's why it's called a script...
They're asking for Vax pass and what you're pronouns are. Punk is dead
The characters in this movie were 10/10
The last part of this video is so fucking spot on; there's hardly any writing that captures a vibe or a feeling of being in utah better.
This nailed it
"These posers do it for fashion."- A poser who looks just as lame as the other posers of whom he looks down on.
Congrats. You managed to understand the entire point of the movie.
I wouldn't claim to have ever been punk (especially with most people's definition of punk), but my favorite punk bands looked more like computer nerd dorks than punks.
@@davidtingley9978 Descendents?
@@mao3394 didn't really get into them. I'm thinking of East Bay Ray and Klaus Floride from DK, Husker Du, the Wright brothers from Nomeansno, D. Boone from Minutemen at a few points.
@@davidtingley9978 East bay ray is great! Can't stand Jello. Ray was the DK for sure
Thats whats so special about this movie. Not only are the graphics cool and beautiful. But this character is also breaking the fourth wall, connecting to the audience.
Jason segel character in this movie was great
Seemed like the only non-poser in the video haha
@@MrSqurk yes that was part of the whole point of the film, being punk isnt a look or what music u listen to etc. its a mentality. Jasons character didnt need to be punk by dressing like one, he had the spirit of one and thats all that matters.
When this film came out some of my punk friends realized that we were kinda being posers. Soon afterwards we all ditched our Mohawks and started dressing kind of basic. No more spiked jackets and crazy hair. Just t-shirts, jeans and converse.
Mathew Lillard is a genius actor!!! This movie made me wanna be punk... I don't think I ever got to that point.
Man, you missed out!
Same! I used to hang out every so often but never really was on the scene.
It's fun. But getting deep into it was truly self destructive and depressing as a result. I realized everyone at the scene were posers except the bands who contributed the sound week after week.
Didnt happen. No punk would ever say what you just said.
You'd be surprised how many King of fighters poses there were after Terry bogard became a DLC character in super smash Brothers ultimate
whoever wrote this script is hilarious
yeah, well, my gutterpunk friends thought everyone in SLC Punk was a poser lol
Yeah well I think your friends are posers! So there! 😠
@@psychotropictraveler514 triggered much?
Gutterpunks are just fake homeless people.
It’s kinda crazy that his style is current again. Gen z, the poser generation
Severely underappreciated movie.
Bob was so sweet
Then he turns out to be the biggest poster of all at the end of the movie sell out. Now Bob was the real punk rocker
My first punk show was in a dirty little venue called The Cobalt, RIP, everyone called me a poser cos I wasn't wearing a jacket with patches all over and ripped pants. I was confused cos I always thought that there was no real punk since it was about being independent and raw, making a stand against the tide, but I was wrong. This was in 2013 long after real punk died but I still loved it, I drank, I was in every pit and started a few, I stage dived, hooked up with the hottest chick I saw, big mohawk, long legged, bruised knuckled, fuck off chick, stole whiskey for some guys who couldn't get in the show, and stopped a fight between two old dudes reliving the golden days, did my first bump of coke that night. By the end I didn't care what people thought cos I had the time of my life, went home bruised and drunk and woke up for school the next day and date with that girl.
legend
That's what punk is all about. Not giving a fuck about what anyone thinks and living your life how YOU want to do it. Only real posers think you have to dress a certain way or act a certain way to be "punk."
My first punk show in 2001 was literally the funnest night of my entire adolescent/teenage years, not only that but it was verbal abuse who are legendary and was in the live music capitol Austin TX.
Did it work? Are y'all married?
@@zacharymorgan9526 verbal abuse are sick I saw them with mdc in dallas
it's funny how he talks about american punk being louder and faster, but the band is playing with a british amp
lmfao I forgot Til Schweiger was in this movie... It's so awkward watching him in this after watching him in Inglourious Basterds.
i saw this at the movies back in the day
I took acid and tripped sooo hard when I first watched this way back in the day. Man, I was fucked up. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I was tripping balls though, so it made way too much sense. You decide.
I’ll never understand what happened to the guy who played Bob
I see actors like this all the time from the 90s co starring with big renown actors while never getting any roles or recognition. It’s kinda depressing just thinking about it honestly
Dude, those posers are such posers.
This movie and Dead Man on Campus showed me that Jason Segal - who is said to be a VERY nice guy - is likely a VERY scary guy when pushed too far.
I love how the squad immediately forms up
