Review of Punk

Punk (2019)
Almost great
27 July 2019
It was good until episode 4. When you grew up in the 90s in the punk and hardcore scene. People didnt listen to Green Day. They were the band for the kids we always got into fight with because we were punks, the posers who suddenly thought they listen to punk over night because they bought a cd they played on friday when they were partying. thrash metal heads. Hardcore dudes. Not one word of Suicidal Tendencies, MDC, RKL, Misfits, GBH, Discharge. DRI. CRASS, Rudimentary Peni. Nomeansno.The link between Motorhead and punkrock scene. Cro Mags are not mentioned. Just Harley Flanagan as a kid. They jump over so much important bands.. I know you cant get over all bands. but 15 minutes of Bikini Kills when you dont mention the bands above? The history of Bad Brains have been told 15 times the last 20 years in different documentaries. We know how good they were. . Not once have we heard the history of Discharge. How they really got the punk rock scene to blend into hardcore. How Thrash metal and hardcore found a common scene in the early/mid 80s helped many hardcore bands to the next level. Instead you get 30 minutes of green day talking about how many millions records they sold. But still. The first 3 episodes are golden. And the last 10 minutes of episode 4.
