There's no better way to describe GG Allin than in his own words:
"My mind is a machine gun, my body's the bullets, and the audience is the target."
He truly was disgusting, disturbing, and controversial, yet fascinating and entertaining all at the same time. He's brutal and honest and this documentary shows every aspect of it. Definitely intriguing, Hated manages to show the calm -- almost intuitive -- side of GG as he explains he is who he is. He wasn't just music, he was a performer. He'll do what he wants and he doesn't care who tries to stop him. Hated captures the message he's trying to convey; be yourself.
Though some may argue he was simply an obviously violent individual with nothing to offer to society, you just can't doubt that he ultimately was like nothing you've ever seen before and could give one hell of a performance that you could never forget. People strive to be known and end up losing themselves in the process. GG defied that without even trying.
He made his mark, he changed the game, and he was unstoppable. Whether you loved him or hated him, he single-handedly affected and influenced a whole generation by staying true to himself and doing what he loved. Isn't that what being an artist is all about?
