The third (and seemingly final) installment in Penelope Spheeris' Los Angeles music trilogy, THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION III follows not the punk acts of Los Angeles from 1996-1997 but their homeless teenaged fans. Musician interviews in this DECLINE are fewer but include interesting musings from Keith Morris from the Circle Jerks and Flea (credited as the "ex-bass player of Fear"). DECLINE III lives up to its title as Spheeris explores every facet of the gutter-punk life, from their damaged upbringings (nearly all were abused or neglected as children) to the self-destructive lives they lead on society's fringe (alcoholism, homelessness and run-ins with skinheads, among others). - Tom Fritsche 　　译文(2): 佩内洛普 · 斯菲尔斯(Penelope Spheeris)的洛杉矶音乐三部曲《西方文明的衰落 III 》(THE DECLINE OF WESTERN Cultural III)是第三部(看似最后一部) ，讲述的不是1996-1997年间洛杉矶的朋克音乐，而是那些无家可归的青少年歌迷。在这次衰退中，音乐家的采访比较少，但是包括来自 Circle Jerks 乐队和 Flea 乐队(被誉为“恐惧乐队的前贝斯手”)的 Keith Morris 的有趣的沉思。DECLINE III 名副其实，因为 Spheeris 探索了贫民窟朋克生活的方方面面，从他们受损的成长环境(几乎所有人在童年时期都被虐待或忽视)到他们在社会边缘导致的自我毁灭的生活(酗酒、无家可归和与光头党发生冲突等等)。汤姆 · 弗里奇
