He spends his days partying and fighting alongside a motley assortment of local SLC punks, all the while providing a spirited intellectual defense of his philosophy. However, the contradictory and unsustainable punk lifestyle gradually begins to wear on him, and he faces a crisis in the direction his young life will take. | |

Important Haircut | |
SLC Punk! / int_4655ec83 | comment |
Important Haircut: At the end of the film, both Stevo and Trish - Bob's girlfriend, are shown to have cut their hair and wear formal attire at Bob's funeral, with Stevo having nearly shaved his head and Trish being almost unrecognizable in her short black hair, compared to the long colorful styles she had throughout the movie. This scene marks the end of Stevo's life as a punk. | |

Missing Mom | |
SLC Punk! / int_66dfe36a | comment |
By the end of the movie it seems Bob has had one as well, since it's gradually revealed that his father was insane and constantly drunk, causing Bob to often run from home, his mother's never even mentioned and he was considered a loser at school. He actually became a punk mostly because he was tired of not having a happy carefree life, like the "cool kids" did, and just wanted to enjoy himself. | |

Misfit Lab Rat: Heroin Bob is a bonafide punk complete with a mohawk and anarchist/non-conformist beliefs. He studied chemistry, which according to his best friend Steve-o was "the wrong ***ing major for a guy like him," who notoriously avoided any chemicals that didn't already come in beer or cigarettes. | |
