| | American Hardcore |
 | | Hardcore, a faster, louder style of punk rock, developed in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles in the late '70s, led by such bands as Bad Brains and Black Flag. |
 | | The interviews, with most of hardcore's original players, are entertaining and insightful, especially Minor Threat founder Ian MacKaye, who explains the straight-edge movement (no drugs, alcohol or premarital sex) that Minor Threat pioneered, and Black Flag singer Henry Rollins, who almost serves as a one-man timeline of hardcore. |
 | | The documentary tries to neatly shut the door on hardcore in 1986, ignoring that Corrosion of Conformity and similar groups morphed from hardcore into speed metal and that others (Bad Religion) continue to today. |
