As much as their music of the early 80’s is well known today, it actually didn’t sell that much at the time. Violent Femmes blend of Punk and Folk actually had a lot of catchy Pop hooks. Lyrically, they sang the cries of teen angst that was full of cynicism. Like many artists they reached their apex with their initial efforts, but unlike others those songs sound remarkably fresh today. They never came close to matching that success but as each generation rediscovers their music they will keep acquiring new fans though likely not enshrinement.
