That brings up a point which I've wondered about for some time. I have children who listen to this music and we've had discussions about the teenage angst which is prevalent on these albums. They've never been able or didn't want to tell me the answer. I hear alot about the anger which is prevalent in much of today's punk bands. Forgive me if I'm naive, but just want they are angry about is vague. I can understand causes, like I'm against this or that. Where exactly is this emotional upheaval aimed at. Is it the government, pop music, the parents, etc? Or all of the above?
