The Misfits are an American horror punk band, a subgenre of punk rock that blends fast and aggressive music with themes inspired by horror and science fiction films. The band was founded in 1977 in Lodi, New Jersey, by Glenn Danzig (vocals) and Jerry Only (bass).
Their unique aesthetic, characterized by dark makeup, devilock hairstyles (a long lock of hair falling over the face), and macabre imagery, has influenced many generations of musicians and fans.
