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?

    Most professional classical performers have a Doctorate or at least a Masters

    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!
