Teenage Shutdown!: The World Ain't Round, It's Square, sometimes referred to as Volume 10, is the tenth installment in the Teenage Shutdown! series of garage rock compilations put out by Tim Warren of Crypt Records, which is available on both LP and compact disc formats.[1][2][3][4] This volume was released on December 29, 1998 and is composed largely of harder rocking fast-tempo material as indicated in the sub-heading below the title which reads, "17 Paint Peeling Garage Punk Monsters!!!"[1][2] Like all of the entries in the series, the collection was compiled and mastered by Warren, using original 45 rpm records selected from the collection of noted garage rock archivist, Mike Markesich (colloquially known as "Mop Top Mike").[1] The packaging includes liner notes providing information about the songs and bands.[1]

The collection features songs by acts such as Paul Bearer & the Hearsemen form Albany, Oregon (pictured on the front cover abusing their instruments), who perform the opening cut, "I've Been Thinking."[1] Larry and the Blue Notes form Fort Worth, Texas are heard on the fuzz-drenched "In and Out."[1] Other tracks include The Chessmen's "I Need You There," "She's the One" by Dr. Spec's Optical Illusion, and "Pretty Little Thing" by the Deepest Blues.[1] The set closes with "Fall of the Queen" by Destiny's Children.[1]
