An aging raver goes to an inner-city East London High School to tell the kids that things used to different and maybe a little cooler. The kids aren't exactly sure if they should belive him. One of my new favorite music documentaries.
For fans for Adam Curtis, UK Jungle, and ethnography.

I'm not really a documentary person but this one is like a visual collage. It's made up from actual historic footage and reshoots with an incredible score.
It's the history of teenagers in the US, England, and Germany but it's also about the way young people are shaped by war and industrialization.
It's so compelling it goes by super fast, can't recommend enough.

On a big ol’ documentary kick and have been steadily working through Adam Curtis’s filmography.
More than being informative and engaging, they’re almost like multimedia collage pieces. I read on his Wikipedia that he cites Robert Rauschenberg as an influence and I definitely see and feel that. Beautiful stuff. Great soundtracks.
He goes in so many different historical, geopolitical, cultural directions and somehow it doesn’t feel insane or boring or overwhelming. It‘s almost relieving to have someone articulate so clearly the depth of the mess we have made.
Most of his work can be found for free on YouTube/Internet Archive. Proceed w caution, may contribute to feelings of anger and frustration.

wild story of friends turned into rivals and the two vastly different directions a band can go under the influence of drugs and ego. the footage takes place over the course of a decade and is often pretty raw - overall an incredible doc

it's like a river flowing in the opposite of the culture. it's very important to participate in the counterculture and participate in public because the culture is a toilet but the counterculture is pure and true. anything can be the counterculture if it's countercultural. i believe the fast casual bowl restaurant to be one of our greatest countercultural institutions today simply for the fact that so many of our countercultural warriors are eating fast casual grain or salad bowls in order to fuel up for their day jobs.
