Marcus has seizures that send him falling to the floor decapacitated. Doctors find a brain tumor behind his ear. There's repeated talk of suicide, including someone who died by suicide and others who say they wish to. Wendy's ex-boyfriend attacks Marcus's car so Marcus drives off, dragging the man along until he eventually falls in the street. Marcus falls, cuts his back, and bleeds.

Two teachers kiss and teens joke about their sex life. Two teens also share a kiss. Sexual talk includes mentions of condoms, dildos, being kinky, getting laid, giving a girl an orgasm, being a virgin, and having wet dreams. Marcus unwittingly buys a small penis sculpture at an auction. Teen boys appear topless with towels around their waists in a locker room. Wendy strips down to her underwear and bra and Marcus to his underwear and a t-shirt to jump into a pool.

A high school student jokes about acid trips. Marcus takes a lot of medication for his seizures. Wendy asks if they're "happy pills."

Parents need to know that The Ultimate Playlist of Noise has some positive messages but also some heavy themes and scenes as well as questionable behavior from the main characters. Teenagers drink, discuss drugs and sex, break into homes and closed businesses, nearly run over a man, yell at their parents, cause disarray and damage at a roller rink, and ignore worried messages from loved ones. There's talk of suicide, but the message of the film is that life is beautiful and worth living even despite hardships and setbacks. One character learns that his deceased sibling suffered a mental illness that made him behave in destructive ways, but his family chooses to remember only his better moments. Scenes with heavy emotion involve the main character's seizures, tumor diagnosis, pending hearing loss, and surgery. Language includes "f--k," "s--t," "bulls--t," "ass," "lick my ass," "badass," "bitchy," "hell," "damn," "goddamn," "God," "Jesus Christ," "wet dreams," "orgasm," "condom," "dildo," and "virgin."
