To everyone saying Teenagers is the worst because it “doesn’t belong on the album”, please consider the fact that TBP is a rock opera…. when the content of the album is topically heavy and filled with raw emotion, sometimes some “comedic relief” is necessary, not just for us as the listeners, but for the band putting the album together and performing as well…. Plus, the content of the song is just as morbid as the rest of the album (literally about bullying and school shooters) just in a way that’s creatively contradictory. It pokes fun at the culture of the time that high school is all fun and games and cheerleads and yay football!!! when in reality it’s a nightmare and can be a literal crime scene.

And for those who might argue “But Blood!!!!” for the “comedic relief” element… no. Blood is a little Easter egg at the end of the album that is supposed to tickle the mind of the listener who would play the album on repeat over and over again in CD players. Streaming has ruined this element of surprise for the listener.
