About “Trash” (Unreviewed)

In a group established in the religious Provo, Utah, members of Neon Trees initially belonged to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the LDS Church. Tyler has identified as homosexual and has coincided with his religious and sexual identity for a long time. However, with the church’s newer policies released in November 2015 that were very anti-LGTBQ+ and resulted in several suicides, Tyler has determined that enough is enough. He left the church and wrote this song individually along with a powerful video to express the things he has went through and felt. He created this song to take a stand on the pain, crisis, and the darkness of doubt all people have felt in the church when they are leaving. He has determined that the church causes more bad than good and shows this through this song and video.
