Hated is a 1994 documentary about the life of the late, notorious punk rocker, GG Allin. Allin was infamous for both his excessive behavior (drug addiction, alcoholism, physical violence) and his stage shows (indecent exposure, onstage defecation, attacking fans, obscene language).

The film was directed by Todd Phillips who included concert footage, rehearsal footage, and interviews with Allin himself and his fellow bandmembers. Other interviews include friends, relatives, fans and foes of Allin. Phillips also includes footage showing Allin's less-than-humble beginnings in rural New Hampshire as the son of a fanatical religious father who named him Jesus Christ Allin, believing that he would be a messianic figure, much like Christ.

While he was alive, Allin fully dedicated himself to a life of extreme, antisocial behavior that virtually no other rock performer has matched. The film contains footage of Allin cavorting with prostitutes (perhaps the most graphic content of the film), defecating during shows, mutilating himself with sharp objects and verbally abusing and attacking concertgoers. Performing naked was one of Allin's most common rituals; in one scene shot at New York University (NYU), he strips in front of the audience, attempts to insert a banana into his anus, and taunts them with obscenity, clearly daring them to stay or leave.

Some of the most telling footage is Allin's appearance on Geraldo Rivera's talk show in the early 1990s. Allin used foul language despite FCC rules and much of what he says is bleeped out.

Hated was released on DVD in December of 1999. It includes a taped rehearsal shot before the last show Allin performed the day before he died. It also includes footage of Allin's funeral and his dead body in its coffin.
