I love these little bits of ephemera that were created at the time. So helpful for understanding how the members of these scenes understood themselves.

I keep reading the title as “Puking Out.”

For some punks, that’s not too far off!

I remember when “punked out” was a thing, sonny. It meant green hair.

So, quite like my usual weekends.

Loved it. This is the best kind of documentary - no narration, and the filmmaker stays as unobstrusive as possible.
