The Decline of Western Civilization Ratings & Reviews

  • Jordaen MorbeeFebruary 3, 2025
    The best documentary showing the puck rock scene in Los Angeles in the early 1980’s. I first viewed the movie in 1981 at the Fox Theatre in Fullerton California to a packed audience. The vibe in the building was electrifying. It paved the way for the scene in Orange County to thrive and further influence the Grunge rock sound up the west coast in the 1990’s.
