Horror punk is generally apolitical in comparison to other punk rock subgenres, although some songs do refer to political events ( e. g. the Misfits ' " Bullet ", which discusses the assassination of John F.

The Misfits delivered a hyper-yet-melodic assault based in 50 / 60s-style rock, taking the Buddy Holly / Gene Vincent foundation and making it nuclear.

The new version of the Misfits launched by Jerry Only and Doyle in the 1990s had a style that was much more heavy metal than punk, an outgrowth of the brothers ' experience with their short-lived Christian metal act Kryst the Conqueror.
