Need + ET Explore Me + Anomalys + Rock ’n’ Roll High School
In Allan Arkush’s cheerful Rock ’n Roll High School (1979) The Ramones wreak havoc in a high school. The title is a clear reference to an earlier genre; Arkush simply varied on a 1950s theme, when concerns about the perceived excesses of American school-agers resulted in films like Blackboard Jungle (1955) and High School Confidental (1958).

FURY! Punk Culture
The year is 1976, the second industrial era is screeching to a conclusion and the oil crisis is at an all-time low when an undeniable counter-voice is heard in the dilapidated inner cities of London, Amsterdam and New York. A call for rebellion against the capitalist thinking that fills the pockets of the wealthy minority. It's a provocative cry from teens and young adults who no longer want to do what parents, teachers and politicians expect of them.
