Violent Femmes — американская рок-группа, образовавшаяся в 80-м году. Название группы, с учетом сленга, можно перевести как "Отчаянные Слюнтяи".
Their music is an innovative combination of American folk music and punk rock. The lyrics mix common adolescent themes like yearning for love, sex and affection with explorations of sin, death, and the hope of salvation. Their songs often express both a lyrical and musical sense of humor.
