BP Underground - Rock (2020)

The fourth part of the BP Underground documentary series is about Budapest's underground rock music scene presenting the members of the first and most important underground rock bands, sub-genres, and specialties. Just like the other episodes it also evokes the emergence and growth of the genre with its unique visual world and a lot of archive footage. Among other things, it seeks to discover how Budapest as a center shaped the subculture. The social aspect is also put into focus: Is there any socially decisive factor as to who chooses the rock music scene? Who are the personalities still known today that used to be central figures? What do they think about their roots decades later? What does it mean for some of the musicians to rise from being unknown underground artists to achieving national fame? What is the specific Hungarian flavor of the different styles which are mainly rooted in British/American culture? What is the underground rock music scene like today? Is it still relevant? To what extent did it remain underground?
