I found the style of the edgy editing and ominous sounding background music to be annoying in the extreme. But then, it appears that the piece was dumbed down for it's target audience, which is MTV. Which begs the question, why was it shown on VH1 to begin with? The target audience of VH1 are the parents of the kids who are at risk for moving into the hatecore scene.

No--too much of this just wasn't right for me to recommend it to anyone, and I have a daughter currently involved in the straight edge punk scene. It didn't tell kids any of the things they need to know to stay away from the hatecore scene. If anything, it made it look seductive, in my opinion--"oh look how this will piss off mom and dad!" Style won out over substance once again. Too bad--they wasted a good opportunity (and probably some decent funding) with this particular film, and the audience they went with (ie adults, rather than the kids themselves).
