My impressions of Punk: Attitude is that that was a very opinionated group of people. Also, they were not very clear of all the facts surrounding where things originated from and they all thought they did. For example, in the first five minutes of the documentary, one of the people they interviewed informed the viewer that the Rolling Stones started the use of the word “punk”. However about twenty minutes later, another interview informed the reader that Caroline Coon came up with the word punk and made it famous. These two interviews contradict each other and therefore confuse the viewers as to who really came up with the expression punk. Also, another contradiction was when one person claimed that the hippies were the first punk rockers because of their use of LSD, their determination to end the war, and the Woodstock concert, then ten minutes later, a person claimed that the hippies had nothing to do with the start of punk and that they despised the hippies. I think that the director needed to review the interviews and cut out all the contradiction so that this could be a correct and informational documentary.
On the note of language, I do not see the point of using the f word as much as the people in this documentary seem to see the necessity of it. If the f word added meaning to what the person who was being interviewed was saying, I think it would have been more appropriate. However they just threw around the word just in spite because society told them that they couldn’t so just to piss them off they decided to do the exact opposite of what was asked of them.
That's all for now!
