Is punk rock an act of rebellion or a philosophy in disguise? Rudy Salo dives into his own wheelhouse with returning guests Josh Heter and Richard Greene, co-editors of Punk Rock and Philosophy, to explore what punk really means, its obsession with authenticity, its complicated relationship with "selling out," and whether Stoic philosopher Seneca would have loved it or hated it.
The conversation covers punk's gatekeeping culture, the philosophy of anger, why history matters so much to punk identity, and yes, an entire tangent on why Sting might be more punk than you think. If you've ever wondered whether your favorite counterculture movement has a philosophical backbone, this one's for you.
