In a memorable Saturday Night Live sketch, Fred Armisen and friends reunite as the fictional punk band Crisis of Conformity at a wedding, contrasting the expected soft musical vibe with a burst of hardcore punk energy. The performance, featuring Armisen on vocals, Bill Hader on bass, Ashton Kutcher on guitar, and Dave Grohl on drums, delivers humor and reverence for punk music. Armisen's excitement for the sketch culminated in an emotional thank-you to SNL's creator, as it encapsulated his lifelong admiration for the genre and the bands that influenced him.
It felt like, Now I've done everything I wanted to do on this show. I emailed Lorne Michaels the next day to say, 'Thank you. That was really meaningful to me.'
It's a love letter to all those bands I grew up on. It's a celebration of punk, showcasing the energy and humor that characterized the genre.
