On the next radio show, DJ Saucy and Stephanie Monohan are going to be discussing how the Misfits not only created a genre of music but also were a cultural phenomenon that continues to have effects on music and fashion. I can't think of a better person to discuss this with (except maybe Michael Willems PLEASE COME ON MY SHOW)because of her love of in-depth sociological analysis of pop culture. Can we refer to the Misfits as being a pop cultural phenomenon, or are the effects of the emergence only felt in the subcultures of Goth, Punk, and the genre they created Horror Rock? I'm going to argue the later due to the popularity of their image (I mean there are fucking Misfits t-shirts with gold teeth) and the popularity of music that they influenced (AFI started out as a Misfits cover band, and bands such as Alkaline Trio, The Ataris, Guns N' Roses, Hatebreed, Jawbreaker, Metallica, My Chemical Romance, and Sum 41 all claim to have been influenced by the Misfits). We will talk about where the Misfits name came from, where the logo came from, and how Danzig is a tool for not doing a Misfits reunion. The Misfits never write very long songs, so this show is gonna be a whole lotta talking. Setlist:
