"Teenagers From Mars" is a quintessential early Misfits track, appearing on the 1979 "Horror Business" single and later on the posthumously released 1978 Static Age album. The song is an excellent example of the band's signature horror punk style from the Glenn Danzig era. Musically, it is a fast and raw slice of punk rock, driven by a heavy, grinding bass line from Jerry Only and a simple, highly aggressive guitar riff. Unlike some of their shorter, more frantic tracks, this one locks into a powerful, almost menacing mid-tempo groove. The song is sung from the perspective of an alien invasion force—the titular teenagers from Mars—who arrive on Earth with disdain for humanity and a mission of destruction and "inhuman reproduction." Lyrically, it merges the themes of sci-fi B-movies with the concept of teenage alienation and nihilistic aggression, making the alien invaders a metaphor for rebellious, out-of-control youth. Glenn Danzig delivers the lyrics with his characteristic low, swaggering croon, lending the whole track an air of cold, calculated menace.
