suburbia (1984)

aka Rebel Streets. The Wild Side.
"Give 'em the muzak."
Evan (Bill Coyne), decides to leave home following one to many arguments with his mother. He finds himself running with a loose knit bunch of punks living in a squat on the edge of LA, as they have to contend with disinterested parents, red-neck vigilanties and the local feral dogs.

Penelope Spheeris explores the sub-culture of the LA punk scene using real punk bands, (such as TSOL), and people from the scene to give it authentisity. Not for everyone, but if you have a passing interest in the music or the punk scene of the 80's this is required viewing.
