Was reading about The Offspring due to this post here: https://lemmy.ml/post/2628198
As I read their Wikipedia page I noticed that Dexter Holland (lead singer) has a PhD in Molecular Biology. Then I remembered that Greg Gaffin (lead singer) of Bad Religion has a PhD in Zoology.
Is this a trend in Punk Rock or am I noticing a freak coincidence? If not punk rock, is there any genre that stands out in its number of highly educated artists?
Might be talking out of my ass here but prog metal artists tend to have high education, usually in music. In fact I saw a bachelor’s degree programme for progressive metal in the university of Gothenburg!
Not Punk, but Bryan May of Queen has a PhD in Astrophysics
Dexter Holland has a PhD in Microbiology
He has another PhD?
Must have overread this, sorry
