near perfect depiction of the era that remains increasingly relevant, we live in its backwash after all, its monotony and eternal adolescence. completely hysterical too
Most golden ages are not obvious at the time. I lucked out being in high school in a moment where grunge matured, hip hop got amazing and edm started to rise. Smells Like Teen Spirit exploded freshman year. The grunge wave got east soon after that. On the other end of the parking lot Wu Tang was played again and again as Biggie and Tupac battled. And the skaters were shifting from punk rock to this new vibe they heard at warehouse raves as techno was escaping from the lab in Dallas and NYC. The movie Kids catches this time really well. Words don’t quite do it justice.
a documentary about the punk scene of 1980s LA with lots of interviews and music performances. a snapshot of the attitude of the cool kids who weren’t cool
so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
