One two-minute video that encapsulates every clichéd punk rock documentary ever made


 
Punk scholars, this is everything.

If you’ve ever watched ANY documentary on the early days of punk rock, this video will make perfect sense. As a parody, it’s almost too spot-on. The only overt hint that it’s “taking the piss,” so to speak, is the very end where the typical talking head gives an absurd list of musicians’ names who attended the Sex Pistols Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall gig.

The boisterous nostalgia merchant in this clip is Nigel Buxton, a.k.a. BaaadDad, father of Adam Buxton from the BBC Channel 4 comedy series The Adam and Joe Show. Sadly, Mr. Buxton passed away last November.

Ladies and Gentlemen: here we have EVERY clichéd punk documentary ever made in one two minute video.

“You can do this. You don’t have to take this bullshit anymore.”
