This was the first Rush concert I attended and I was excited. This fascinated me because the music was not about rebelling against society or the cops or my parents, but against the Nazis in this case, and it was moving. how many teens knew that was about the Nazi concentration Camps? Neil Peart was inspired by Geddy Lee's story about how his parents were in Bergen Belsen and Dachau. I also learned about John Steinbeck from Losing it.how many teenagers know about Steinbeck? Honestly? None. Subdivision did not make me rebel against my parents or society, much like the previous bands I listened to, they actually made me think. Yet this song did not encourage drug taking, suicide or any of the proverbial stereotypes, but the challenges youth face: assimilating, peer pressure, and so on. The closest thing that Rush did about the youth rebelling was Subdivision from their album Signals. So is rock music merely the era of the youth? Can there be more to this than just doing things excessively? I believe so and I learned about it back in the 80s.

Even if you do not enjoy the excess, living the lifestyle or pretending to live the lifestyle tends to make one warn out. The problem is, you have to grow up and eventually, to quote Motley Crue, the Live Fast Die Fast lifestyle takes its toll. My favs were Motley Crue, Van Halen and other long-hair-types that promoted sex drugs and rock and roll.

Then there are death metal and grind core, then there is punk, doom and so on. I hung out with the long hair, though I had short hair. Some do sports, some play an instrument and in the world of popular music, specifically rock, there are groups who hang out.sub-genres that can be confusing. Be famous or be a standout from the rest. Growing up in the U.S., every teen wants to be known.
