Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Suburbia centered on runaway kids, broken homes, squats, and youth homelessness, using punk as a survival language instead of just a style.
2. Scene Ecology: The soundtrack pulled from the LA punk underground around Penelope Spheeris, whose Decline films had already documented the same volatile ecosystem.
3. Media Narrative: The film blurred acting and scene reality, helping outsiders read suburban punk not as fashion, but as fallout from family collapse and social neglect.
