SLC Punk

SLC Punk has a great take on the punk scene and the people in it. While many people see the movie as hypocritical with stereotypical characters, it actually gives that portrayal of characters on purpose.

SLC Punk details what it means to be punk, the clothes, the style, the music, then calls it on its bullshit. It's not the clothes, the style, or the music that make you punk. Punk is a way of life. Stevo and Heroin Bob dress like your typical punks. There is a great scene in the movie where Stevo is talking to this girl that points out how Stevo is being just as trendy by dressing "punk".

Overall, SLC Punk is a great movie that pokes fun at stereotypes, rather than playing into them, as most people would have you think. I don't want to ruin the movie, so all I will say is that it has a great, yet sad ending.
