A fun alt-rock soundtrack to a fun movie. 

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), directed by Edgar Wright, is a visually dynamic and quirky film that blends romance, action, and comedy in a unique way. The film follows Scott Pilgrim (played by Michael Cera), a young musician in Toronto, as he battles the seven evil exes of his new girlfriend, Ramona Flowers, in video game-inspired, over-the-top fight sequences. With its quick editing, stylized visuals, and offbeat humor, the film captures the essence of the original graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O’Malley. It cleverly juxtaposes the ordinary struggles of love and relationships with fantastical elements, creating a unique and energetic cinematic experience.

The soundtrack of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is just as energetic and eclectic as the film itself. Featuring a blend of indie rock, punk, and garage bands, the music adds to the film’s youthful, rebellious vibe. With contributions from artists like Beck (who wrote and performed songs for Scott’s fictional band Sex Bob-Omb), Metric, and Broken Social Scene, the soundtrack perfectly encapsulates the film’s indie rock spirit. It plays a pivotal role in amplifying the movie’s intensity during key battle sequences and capturing the emotional highs and lows of Scott’s journey, becoming a defining element of the film’s unique style.
