The Most Suprisingly Philosophical 2 1/2 Minutes

For anyone who hasn't heard of it, SLC punk is a film about a punk's experience living in Salt Lake City. Pretty interesting, pretty funny, and maybe just a little radical.

Check out the vid:



This clip features the voice-over of Stevo (Matthew Lillard) describing the reasons and pitfalls of fighting as someone who considers himself a punk. He ultimately finishes his argument with several contradictions to his beliefs with no answer to them. Stevo's issues with anarchy effectively defeat themselves and show how counterculture, even in its rebellion to convention, can eventually become popular convention, complete with its own set of politics and ideologies.


Bonus!
Because I enjoy the video so much and it fits so well into the same theme, but gives a different contextual point of argument, enjoy Mark Osborne's short "More."
