We Destroy the Family: Punks vs Parents (1 of 3) 1982

I think LA's KABC won some award with this short documentary on how punk rock is destroying families -- somehow missing the point that family dysfunction is the culprit, not Lee Ving. Nice shots of a Fear concert. This ran as a week-long 5-part special report on the KABC-TV news, and then ran alone late one night as an expanded special.

Fucken news.

Its taking there lyrics out of context.

FEAR isnt talking about how they like to watch bums in the street die and not help them.

There talking about all the sick fuckers who watch and wont help the bums

i think its hilarious how Fear was able to get some of their lyrics onto local tv, including the cursing, because the reporter was unused to fast singing

I always laugh about how punks were portrayed in the 80s.

The media take the easy and assumed story that will piss off people in the subculture, but there by discrediting themselves by not remaining neutral in a news story....but Hey!? They still do it today?

@ImHellsAngel Yeah, It's a comment on social disintergration in the big city which was obviously above the heads of the media...some things never change.
