The film looks back nostalgically at the seventies. Those like the movies lead, Terry, who hoped that Punk Rock would prove more than a passing fad were to be disappointed. By the late seventies disco was the dominant element in popular music in Belfast, especially among the young, bringing thousands of kids together. Punk was a minority interest. However the film can still be seen as a celebration of punk, a time which saw the birth of a new, small but exuberant youth culture as young people asserted their tastes in music and fashion which were quite different to those of their elders/peers. In that sense at least, the punks of the late seventies had "never had it so good". But in the end the punks ran out of steam and melted back into the greyness of Belfast leaving no legacy what-so-ever. What is particularly disappointing is that the film makes a virtue out of failure.
