Movies where punks/metalheads AREN'T depicted as terrible people?

Punks and metalheads aren't commonly referenced in movies, but when they are, they're almost always either portrayed as losers or trouble makers. Recent memory brings to mind The Predator, where the grown adult who bullies the autistic child has metal blaring in the background.

Any movies where metalheads or punks are shown with compassion, intellect, respect, or anything positive?

Not a movie, but Dwight Shrute from The Office is an open fan of Metallica, Slayer, Carcass, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and I think Motley Crue is his favorite band. He may be naive, but he’s certainly portrayed as an honest, hardworking, sophisticated man and the company’s finest salesman.
