Please tell me the name of that movie! A teenager starts his own underground rad!
Question: On air, he critcizes authorities and society, uses a lot of explicite language and plays "forbidden" music. All kids on his highschool are crazy about his show, but nobody knows who's doing it. There is also a love storyline: our boy ("X") has a crush on a girl, and the girl has a crush on the mystical radio macho, so she hasn't got any feelings to spare for the quiet, introverted "X".
As the radiostation's popularity grows, so does the teachers' and parents' dismay. They cannot stop their children from listening, so they notify the police. Going on air grows very dangerous for X, but he does it anyway. The girl finds out about his true identity and helps him to make the show. At the end, he broadcasts from a moving van (to make locating difficult), but the police finds him and arrests him and his friends in the van, treating them like dangerous criminals. But the case got popular nationwide, so a lot of other teens start their own pirate stations... And that's the end.

"Pump Up The Volume" could be subtitled "Rebel with a Cause" in that a shy, intelligent teenager, tries to use his anger for the higher good. It is perhaps one of the best films made about contemporary suburban teenagers and their feelings of alienation and boredom.
Mark works as a disc jockey in his own pirate radio station, set up in his basement. He plays very cool music and rants about consumer culture, the danger of complacency, uncaring adults, and high school. He also takes calls from other lonely teens, but fails to prevent one depressed caller from commiting suicide. However, Mark hangs in there and broadcasts a call-to-arms that galvanizes the town's youth to demonstrate their unity.
yeah...Pump up the Volume
