(1) The first was a punk music trio formed by brothers Mark Stern, Adam Stern, and Shawn Stern, in Hollywood, California in 1980. The band has broken up and subsequently re-formed a number of times. They have been together again for several years as of 2006, and playing shows throughout California.

This band subsequently, during their short life, called themselves DC Youth Brigade. Youth Brigade DC also has 3 tracks featured on the 1982 Dischord compilation Flex Your Head. An unreleased song entitled "I Object" is also featured on the 20 Years of Dischord compliation set. Although only around for a short period of time the DC Youth Brigade played shows with the legendary Minor Threat. Their style is also now considered a classic example of American hardcore punk.
Blown Away
Youth Brigade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Youth Brigade's song Blown Away describe the current state of uncertainty and anxiety that many people feel about the future of the world. The singer acknowledges that many of us live fearfully, worried about the world leaders who don't shoulder their responsibilities. He wonders if we can continue to live with this fear or if we will all ultimately be "blown away." Nevertheless, he believes that there is still hope for us to stop the madness before it's too late.
Throughout the song, the singer also touches on the idea that people seem to be becoming more apathetic towards the world's problems. The idea of living day by day without any consideration of the bigger picture is a problem that needs to be solved. The singer acknowledges that change needs to happen to overcome this apathy but knows that it's not a simple task. Lastly, the song ends with a series of rhetorical questions, suggesting that time is fleeting and that we should strive to find a way towards peace.

It seems more and more the future's filled with uncertainty,
We seem to find ourselves living in an age of anxiety,
I know, we go, on living fearfully,
The leaders of the world won't realize their responsibility,
I say, I say, will we get blown away,
Can we go on existing hoping for another day,
One day, one day, we can get blown away,
Or we can stop the madness before it's too late,
We get blown away,
And we get blown away,
And we get blown away,
You tell me that you're scared? Well so am I,
We'll never get any answers asking the question, why?
We can't, romance, keep living day to day,
We all must find some way to overcome the apathy,
