A new documentary, Dare to be Different, chronicles Long Island radio station WLIR, which earned cult status in the ‘80s for forwarding Xer favorites like the Cure and the Ramones. The film’s name comes from the title of the WLIR campaign that won over Xers with its unique blend of nihilism and working-class overtones.
