The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Having fun and innocent young love.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Reference to a gunshot in "Underneath the Night Sky," but no explicit violence ("turns down the wrong street/give me all your money/should know better than to be here alone/tries to run, doesn't feel like a fight/she could hear the shots ring out from home").

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    "Take It or Leave It" has an abstract mention: "Every time I try to get high/you try to bring me down/wonder who I'm out with when you're not around."
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Too Young To Fight It

Parents need to know that this album, although streaming from the popular indie rock genre that can often be angst-filled or gloomily defiant, is layered with upbeat kid-friendly lyrics. You'll recognize this MTV band and its wide array of musical mixes and discotheque delicacies over your local Hollister's speakers while your kids are trying on $80 jeans with holes in them.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the lyrics in the song "Nameless One": "Cast your fears away/save your worries for another day." What do these lyrics mean to you? How can you "cast your fears away" without being reckless and irresponsible? When is it OK to live this way, and when, if at all, is it inappropriate?
