But in the world of music, not fashion, they created their own sub-genre, horror punk. I know bands like Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer were influenced by the Misfits. ... they did influence a lot of people and create an entire new scene.

This. Very influential band for multiple rock genres, with members who unfortunately didn't know when to quit and have been tarnishing the band's reputation. And the logo is very simple & recognizable, too bad people that know nothing about the band (or at least the original band) are wearing that stuff, if that's the case.
Much respect for the Danzig-era Misfits.
