"Dad"? What have I done!?!

The Other F Word is an American documentary film directed by independent filmmaker Andrea Blaugrund Nevins.

The film explores the world of maturing punk rock musicians as they transition into parenthood and try to maintain the contrast between their anti-authoritarian lifestyle with the responsibilities of fatherhood, which is the "other F word."

Yay, dads!

In addition to interviewing over 20 musicians from across the spectrum of the punk genre, from Mark Hoppus of wusses Blink 182 to Fat Mike of marginal NOFX, the film also includes other emblematic figures from the subculture such as professional skateboarder Tony Hawk in a chronicle of the struggles and rewards that accompany raising their children. Released in the U.S. by Oscilloscope Laboratories.

PREMISE

So this is the rest of my life, huh?

Primarily rotating around interviews of Pennywise lead singer Jim Lindberg, the documentary switches between musicians as it jumps between their travels on the road doing concert tours and time spent at home with their kids.

In the course of the movie, interviews are interspersed with archived concert footage.

I still rock as hard as I used to.

It shows these punk rockers, from their early years to more recent shows, to depict some of the challenges they face in their roles as parents -- while at the same time maintaining their roles as anti-establishment figures for their punk rock fan following.

Remarking that their adolescence often lacked much in the way of paternal guidance, the interviewees speak of how they are earnestly trying to be the supportive role models for their kids that they themselves never had while growing up.
