Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Decline of Western Civilization is a 1981 film directed by Penelope Spheeris.It is a documentary of the Los Angeles punk rock scene in 1979-80. Spheeris interviewed several bands that were well known among punk rock fans of the era, including Alice Bag Band, Black Flag, Catholic Discipline, Circle Jerks, Fear, X, and The Germs. Also interviewed are other people involved with punk rock in L.A., like club owners, fans, the staff of alternative music magazine Slash, and the put-upon manager of The Germs. The film also features extensive footage of all the above bands in concert.Spheeris eventually followed this film up with The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, which was about the heavy metal scene and featured bigger names like Ozzy Osbourne, and The Decline of Western Civilization Part III, in which music took a backseat to document the lives of homeless L.A. teens.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Darby Crash, lead singer of The Germs, killed himself via intentional heroin overdose before this film was released. Pat Smear, referred to only as "Pat" and a guitarist for The Germs, hit it big nearly 15 years after the events of this movie when he became a touring/live guitarist for Nirvana. | |

Deliberately Monochrome: While most of the film is in color, the segment where punk musicians and punk fans talk about the aggression and violence that punk releases in concert crowds is shot monochrome, with a vaguely bluish tint. | |
