"Negasonic Teenage Warhead" is the second track on Monster Magnet's 1995 album, "Dopes to Infinity". It became the band's first successful single.
Title and meaning of the lyrics:
According to Dave Wyndorf, the writer, he chose such a curious title for the song because it deals with those rock stars who, from his point of view, always seem to be negative (hence the word "negasonic" in the title) and apparently hate being what they are; more specifically, grunge musicians. He wanted to show with the song that he doesn't like artists whose lyrics always deal with depression, unhappiness, and such things. However, he doesn't see the song as a manifesto.
"Negasonic Teenage Warhead" (real name Ellie Phimister) is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics universe who first appeared in New X-Men vol. 1 #115 (2001). She was a student of Emma Frost. An illusory Ellie appears as a member of the Hellfire Club in Astonishing X-Men.' wiki@pedia.org
