Description

Host Edgar Mills explores whether punk rock’s rebellious spirit can coexist with conservative and libertarian politics. He defines conservatism as common-sense values—personal responsibility, free markets, and individual liberty—and argues that modern leftist conformity often contradicts punk’s ethos.


The episode traces punk history, highlights punk artists who lean right, condemns extremist factions that distort the movement, and suggests Libertarianism as the most genuinely punk political stance: maximum individual freedom paired with responsibility.
