Seeped in nostalgia, the 2022 documentary captures ‘00s indie rock by the people who made it.
Every generation thinks the world is ending, and every generation thinks New York City is dead.
While Goodman’s book chronicles New York’s indie rock scene across a whopping, nostalgic 650 pages, the documentary focuses on the years just prior to and following 9/11, recounting the start and end of the scene through archival footage of interviews, performances, andclippings from the bands that defined the era: LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes, Liars, Moldy Peaches, Rapture, and TV On The Radio.
We see James Murphy go from a dorky club kid who didn’t dance take ecstasy once to performing for the first time in front of an audience at the age of 30 in a defiantly raw “Daft Punk Is Playing At My House.” We see Karen O go from performing open mics at the Sidewalk Cafe, not fitting in as a half-Korean woman in rock, to becoming one of the most influential women in music; we see her self-destructive performances eventually give way to self-preservation.
After 9/11, artists and musicians moved across the bridge to a Williamsburg of not Diptyque and Madewell but of abandoned buildings and warehouses. “The rent was so cheap you could afford to take risks,” Murphy says. Brooklyn was “about potential and freedom,” as Brian Chase of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs says. Crucially, he says, it was “outside of public attention and expectation. That’s what nurtured us. We could all be weirdos in the best way possible.
