G.L.O.S.S. “Trans Day of Revenge”

G.L.O.S.S.

Trans Day of Revenge

[Amoeba Music; 2016]

RATING: 8.5

Whatever happened to teenage angst? When I was an adolescent, teens who were frustrated with the state of the world found their battle cry in the music of bands like Propaghandi, Pennywise, and Good Riddance. The generation before me fought the reign of Reagan through bands like Minor Threat, Black Flag, and yes, Reagan Youth. But what do the frustrated youth of today turn to when upset? A snarky tweet with an @ mention? Holding up a hash-tagged sign in an Instagram photo? A Change.org petition that will be about as effective as a petition for the government to begin construction on the Death Star?
