So the secret to cred of that kind is to hide that fact that you're actually well off, to be dishonest, insincere, fake, to put on a ruse?

I can't imagine they're all that well off. They're not exactly media darlings, and I don't think Hasbro ever licensed the Zander Schloss bass-dude action figure. I'm guessing guitarist Greg Hetson's got a bit of a nest egg set up for himself, but he's working two jobs - when not jerking circles (yes, I know the sexual connotation of the band's name) he preaches some of the ol' time Bad Religion, as he stepped in for Mr. Brett (Gurewitz) in the 90s when Brett had to get clean and devote himself to his Epitaph label (Epitaph - we've still got B.R. and Rancid!) and stuck around when he came back.

Other than that, I'm not so sure the punk/crossover lifestyle really pays too well.
