西方文明的衰落3 (1998)

　　The third (and seemingly final) installment in Penelope Spheeris' Los Angeles music trilogy, THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION III follows not the punk acts of Los Angeles from 1996-1997 but their homeless teenaged fans. Musician interviews in this DECLINE are fewer but include interesting musings from Keith Morris from the Circle Jerks and Flea (credited as the "ex-bass player of Fear"). DECLINE III lives up to its title as Spheeris explores every facet of the gutter-punk life, from their damaged upbringings (nearly all were abused or neglected as children) to the self-destructive lives they lead on society's fringe (alcoholism, homelessness and run-ins with skinheads, among others). - Tom Fritsche 　　译文(2): 佩内洛普 · 斯菲尔斯(Penelope Spheeris)的洛杉矶音乐三部曲《西方文明的衰落 III 》(THE DECLINE OF WESTERN Cultural III)是第三部(看似最后一部) ，讲述的不是1996-1997年间洛杉矶的朋克音乐，而是那些无家可归的青少年歌迷。在这次衰退中，音乐家的采访比较少，但是包括来自 Circle Jerks 乐队和 Flea 乐队(被誉为“恐惧乐队的前贝斯手”)的 Keith Morris 的有趣的沉思。DECLINE III 名副其实，因为 Spheeris 探索了贫民窟朋克生活的方方面面，从他们受损的成长环境(几乎所有人在童年时期都被虐待或忽视)到他们在社会边缘导致的自我毁灭的生活(酗酒、无家可归和与光头党发生冲突等等)。汤姆 · 弗里奇
