DVD Reviews of Boston Beatdown, Vol. 2
DVD Review: Forced Coitus loves hardcore...
Summary: 2 Stars
As many people realize, Forced Coitus is zealously opposed to the very existence of hardcore. Unfortunately, there is already an abundance of this debauchery out in the world. One can only wait for hardcore to follow the sorry route that nu-metal and metalcore have tread. Sadly, with bands like Hatebreed, Madball, Agnostic Front, and Comeback Kid out in circulation, it may take a little longer for this style of music to dissipate. But ranting against hardcore is difficult, simply because there is so much to rant about. It is hard to know just where to begin. So for my first installment, we decided the best place to start would be with a movie review.
Boston Beatdown Vol. 2 is probably one of the lamest documentaries ever made. Most people would say in its defense that this film is very low budget (which it most certainly is), and that is why it seems so crappy. However, that does not excuse the fact that there are very few interviews, all of which are uninteresting and uninspiring, and the repetitive concert footage is really quite annoying. Most hardcore kids we have met rave about this documentary, using the unoriginal defense that if you don't like the music or the scene, it is because you don't know enough about it or don't understand it properly. They go on to say that this movie will give you a better picture of what hardcore is all about. Even the DVD cover exclaims, "See the world through our eyes." Then again, the cover also has a picture of a hardcore kid with a gun to his head and someone decked out in camouflage and a ski mask. Another quote by someone who sucks at life is, "Most people are afraid of what they don't understand," and basically nobody understands hardcore.
Quite frankly, we don't see what there is to be understood about a group of pussies who use violence as an excuse to get respect without earning it, all the while bitching about how bad life is for them and literally blaming corporations and middle-class Americans for all their troubles. As if being successful without punching someone in the face is a bad thing. Whether you are scared of it, misunderstand it, or are just plain fed up with it, this DVD will not help your view of hardcore in the slightest. But why should it? There is nothing to be understood about monotonous interviews with Neanderthals who have no IQ talking about how much they love violence or by watching the same footage of idiots jumping of ledges, crowd surfing, or, supposedly, attacking Moby for no reason except that he exists (we don't remember Moby being hardcore, or ever doing anything to "disrespect" the hardcore community in any way). These people act like they are the most persecuted group in the world, thereby creating the need for them to rebel against society. Unlike other oppressed individuals in France or Lebanon though, hardcore kids hilariously shy away from causing any commotion as soon as the authorities show up. So, in the end, the hardcore kids either know enough to realize that they haven't a pot to piss in, or they are just cowards who feel that beating up their "inferiors" justifies their lame attempt at class warfare.

Description of Boston Beatdown, Vol. 2
Since the limited release of volume 1, Boston Beatdown has become synonymous with the association of violence and hardcore. From the attack by hardcore kids on Moby to the sewing up of stab wounds on a living room couch, no other hardcore documentary hasBoston Beatdown, Volume 2 is either a shocking testament to the history of Boston's ultra-violent harcore community or raw material for an anthropological study of rock territoriality. Not exactly a documentary--a documentary has a point-of-view--Boston Beatdown is a rough compilation of amateur footage of young males (and some females) beating each other to a pulp, time after time, as hardcore enthusiasts wage war against anyone who isn't them at clubs and private gigs. Somewhere in the relentless bloodletting we hear the churning rage-rock of Blood for Blood, Death Before Dishonor, and Ten Yard Fight, and there are (academically speaking) fascinating interviews with past and present members of Boston's F.S.U. gang, which formed a decade or so ago to cleanse their turf of just about everybody. Among the horrors here is the film's palpable delight at footage of Moby being assaulted by several cretins on a Boston sidewalk. --Tom Keogh
