"Salad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, DC (1980-90)" examines the early DIY punk scene in the Nation's Capital. It was a decade when seminal bands like Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Government Issue, Scream, Void, Faith, Rites of Spring, Marginal Man, Fugazi, and others released their own records and booked their own shows-without major record label constraints or mainstream media scrutiny. Contextually, it was a cultural watershed that predated the alternative music explosion of the 1990s (and the industry's subsequent implosion). Thirty years later, DC's original DIY punk spirit serves as a reminder of the hopefulness of youth, the power of community and the strength of conviction.

1973: dopo tre album incisi in poco meno di un lustro (The Stooges, Fun House e Raw Power), un'esperienza devastante di live e una dipendenza da stupefacenti che ne compromise le performance, la band statunitense The Stooges interruppe il proprio percorso, evitata come la peste dalle case discografiche per le scarse vendite e per un performer scandaloso, esibizionista, rettiliano: Iggy Pop. La loro importanza di band sperimentatrice, per il sound ipnotico, sporco, disturbante, emergerà gradualmente negli anni. Considerati "spazzatura" diventeranno oro nell'era iconoclastica del punk: testi ai minimi termini, ripetizione di pochi accordi base, esecuzione approssimativa, programmatica sgradevolezza.
