The Decline of Western
Civilization: Part III (1998)

Rate: 7
Viewed: 2/20

2/20: After an aberration of the last sequel, The Decline of Western Civilization: Part III goes back to the roots that's laid by the original except this time it's heavily focused on the gutter punk lifestyle.

I'll say it's a strange change of scenery after being used to so much music, but the documentary gradually gets better after hearing the testimonials from kids living on the streets. It starts becoming ugly and therefore real. All I can say is: education goes a long way, substance abuse isn't the answer, and some people should never have kids.

While watching the third installment, I didn't realize Squid was killed by Spoon until the closing credits. Mm, weird. It turns out she was acquitted of murder by self-defense despite being jealous after walking on Squid, who was cutting another girl's hair, and then stabbing him with the scissors.

As for others, of what I can find on the internet, Hamburger died of heroin overdose. Sage passed away in 2007. Darius, the black guy in the wheelchair, moved to New Orleans. Troll, Why-Me, Bobo (the boy with a cup on his jacket), and Eyeball are still alive, but many have been reported dead.

All in all, The Decline of Western Civilization: Part III is odd, but it's been enjoyable.
