Decline III looks at today's fans, most of whom weren't born when Decline I was released (although, as Spheeris discovers, many of them have are familiar with it). The picture is assembled from a series of interviews with punkers in their late teens and early twenties who bear monikers like Squid, Filth, Spinner, Why-Me?, and Pinwheel. It asks questions about how the punk music scene has changed during the past 20 years, whether participants view it as a lifestyle or a hobby, and what the driving forces behind punk rock fandom are. The new generation is characterized by an almost shocking fatalism. Most of youths interviewed by Spheeris, when asked where they will be in five years, placidly respond that they'll be dead - and that the sooner they go, the better. Although most of Decline III is focused on the fans, Spheeris takes time out to engage in sit-down chats with a couple of bands, Naked Aggression and The Resistance, to discuss their beliefs and how they view the punk phenomenon. She also interviews '70s figures such as Keith Morris (of Circle Jerks), Rick Wilder (of Mau Mau's), and Flea (of the Red Rot Chili Peppers) about how the punk movement has changed over the years.
