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?

Not Punk, but Bryan May of Queen has a PhD in Astrophysics
Sir Brian May.
Also, Freddie Mercury had a diploma in arts and graphics design, John Deacon was BSc in electronics, and Roger Taylor was BSc in biology.
