Composition and Lyrics
The musical composition of "Teenage Whore" follows the status quo of Pretty on the Inside, which is most often noted for its extreme abrasiveness, though it is also noted for its sophisticated use of melodic structure which is buried under arrangements. Spin addressed this, saying: "at first comes across like a ranting noisy rage, but underneath is a surprisingly lush melody." The main guitar riff for the song is composed mainly of power chords, with the progression: Em-G5-F5.
