ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We’re diving into the Devo documentary and asking you to come think it through with us. Were they satirists or prophets? A joke band or the most accurate band of the last fifty years? We break down how “de-evolution” went from an art-school theory born out of Kent State to a genuine framework for understanding conformity, mass culture, and why the energy dome hats were never really about the hats. Expect Eno, Bowie, MTV’s early chaos, and a real argument about whether Devo were ahead of their time or just early to being right. Cutting thru the noise on one of new wave’s most misunderstood bands; jump in and tell us where you land.
