Teen Idle is a song by Marina Diamandis, released under her previous stage name 'Marina and the Diamonds'. it is the 9th track on her second studio album, Electra Heart.

The song was written by Marina alone, and produced by Liam Howe. Teen Idle is a 'Teen Idle' (archetype) song. In February 2011, Marina went to London Fashion week and stated that she got the idea for the title from a grey knitted jumper with "Teen Idle" written on it. Thinking it would be funny to rhyme "idle" with "suicidal," she decided to write the song about youth—specifically how she did not live out her teen years the way she wished she had.
