In the background are the major political events and social issues of the day -- crime, urban decay, financial woes, the infamous blackout, drugs, Son of Sam, the bitter mayoral election and the overall poverty that gripped the city. Out of chaos came creation.
From the South Bronx came hip hop. From the Lower East Side, the thrashing guitars of punk. And all over the city, a disco revolution was underway. Elaborate, finely crafted graffiti art decorated the subway cars and break-dancers shimmied in the streets. The sexual revolution was in full swing. In January , most of this activity existed in its own underground bubble. Yet by the end of the year this artistic expression was on its way to mainstream America, and would be with us for generations to come.

Top review. How I wish I could have lived there during that time. This documentary goes into the year of new york city and what had happened and why it was the coolest year in hell It goes into the whole hip hop and punk scene emerging and starting, block parties, The black out that happened, Clubs that originated, Gay rights movements, Politics that had happened that year. Many things are covered in this documentary in that year. I thought it was quite an inspiration to see some of hip hop and punks roots and even more inspiring to see afrika bambaata invite all the punk rockers to party with all the hip hop people.
Any punk rocker and hip hop head should watch this documentary for those reasons alone and learn its the music that unites the people cause it did back then. Even the clubs originations are really cool to learn about and makes ya really envious that you wish you had lived there in that time. Swinger bars full of orgies, cocaine, buffets. Wow what a party scene it was back then Hugely inspired after watching so many cultural things inspire from that city. Some good and some bad but what is life without balance of both.
Highly recommended I. Chaosmetal69 Dec 4, Details Edit. Release date August 11, United States. United States. We hate spam too, so we absolutely won't give your email address to anybody else.
