What’s punk rock anyway? This was a genre of music that emerged in the mid-1970s. It was pioneered by musicians that had something to say about the political and social state of society. Nolimit City has been inspired by this era, adding a layer of not so subtle irony to entire scene.
Taking some of the most iconic visual images and people of the last century, they’ve given them a punk rock makeover. Many of them have even been improved if you ask me. On the reels you’ll see heavy duty boots, a knuckle duster, a skull biting a Molotov cocktail (the Wild), a mixer switch, a monkey and an anarchy sign. These symbols are joined by a punkified Sean Connery, Mona Lisa, Albert Einstein, and Winston Churchill.
The soundtrack is predictably punk rock music, which is upbeat, fun and energizing. I gotta say, of all the themes I’ve experienced recently (from the dull to the downright awful) this one is my current favorite, and I think it might hold that throne for good long while.
Fun fact: Nolimit City had previously included Kim Jong Un as one of its characters, however in the couple of weeks post launch, he was replaced instead by Sean Connery. I can only speculate why this swap took place, but I would guess it had a lot to do with not alienating particular audiences.
