Packed full of pop punk bangers, Growing Up focuses on the difficulties of adolescence in the modern world, especially as girls. Themes range from the light and fun on “Nino” (a short song about a cat), to the more serious, like on “Talking to Myself,” which discusses anxiety and loneliness. On Growing Up The Linda Lindas give us a look into the experience of young women and girls, the good and the bad, while carrying the torch of the riot grrrl tradition.
