The show documents the stops on the tour and the band's reaction to various events. The creation of the show was noteworthy due to the band's often noted disdain for the media, including music television. The show was originally to be titled NOFX: Punk Rock Passport, but the band had issues with Fuse who claimed "the title would scare people away." Along with the show's title being changed, the band had numerous other issues including the company attempting to fabricate story lines that were non-existent or completely untrue. Fat Mike in an interview with Studio Q on CBC stated that the three months editing the show were the worst three months of his life.

Post-hardcore Post-hardcore is a punk rock music genre that maintains the aggression and intensity of hardcore punk but emphasizes a greater degree of creative expression initially inspired by post-punk and noise rock. Like post-punk, the term has been applied to a broad constellation of groups. The genre took shape in the mid to late 1980s with releases by bands from cities that had established hardcore scenes, such as Fugazi from Washington, D.C. as well as groups such as Big Black and Jawbox that stuck closer to post-hardcore's noise rock roots.

Punk rock Punk rock (or "punk") is a rock music genre that developed in the early to mid-1970s in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in 1960s garage rock and other forms of what is now known as "proto-punk" music, punk rock bands rejected perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. Punk bands typically produced short or fast-paced songs, with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through informal channels.
