Teenage tragedy song
The "teenage tragedy song," also known as a "tear jerker," "death disc," or "splatter platter," is a style of ballad that was most popular between the late 1950s and early 1960s. These songs lamented tragic teenage death and were either sung from the viewpoint of the dead person's sweetheart (or another witness to the tragedy) or from the viewpoint of the dead (or dying) person.
==Examples==
The Kingston Trio's "Tom Dooley" and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" are considered sometimes teenage tragedies, due to some of the lyrics talking about a young man about to be executed. Some of the songs in The Who's ''Tommy'' are also considered of this genre (though the protagonist, Tommy Walker, does not die, but rather suffers from mistreatment). The Shel Silverstein song, "25 Minutes to Go", tells of a prisoner counting off how many minutes he has left to live, similar to his other song, "Boa Constrictor". The song "Joe Bean" by Johnny Cash tells of a prisoner who is sentenced to die on his 20th birthday; Cash has also covered both of Silverstein's songs.
