I feel like "punk" gets mis-attributed as "authenticity" so much. Mr. Rodgers seemed like a guy who walked the walk and that gives him authenticity, but it sure doesn't make him punk.
Edit: Ruminated this a bit and I feel like the attribution of "punk" is probably because it's the last widespread cultural touchstone where "authenticity" was an assumed component of it. (I don't think this reflects the reality of it though, the Sex Pistols were a boy band after all).
Aren't they at most...25? I mean most people just don't want to have kids that young anyways?
