"Teen Idle" is a song by Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis, professionally known as Marina and formerly as Marina and the Diamonds. The ninth track on her second studio album, Electra Heart (2012), it was released on 27 April 2012 along with the whole record. While the production was handled by Liam Howe, the song was written solely by Diamandis. Too obscure to be released as a single,[1] almost not even making to the final tracklist of the album,[2][3] the track received a warm reception from her fanbase and grew to become a substantial song in Diamandis' discography,[4][3] which is noted to define the Tumblr "sad girl" subculture[5][6] and did influence later singers like Billie Eilish[7][8] and Melanie Martinez.[9] The song incorporates eerie downtempo music as the lyrics articulate problems with youth lifestyles and include metaphors for the issues such as the loss of virginity, eating disorders, and suicide. The ingenious title exudes the contrast between the absurdity of an idolized teenage dream media portrayal and adolescent depression. "Teen Idle" was the second non-single track from Marina's discography to be certified Gold in the United States,[10] following a TikTok-revived sleeper hit, "Bubblegum Bitch".
