The Hardcore Therapist 118- Mike Judge (Judge and Youth of Today)

Send us Fan MailOn this episode of The Hardcore Therapist, I'm sitting down with Mike Judge frontman of Judge and, for those who truly know their history, the original drummer for Youth of Today. In other words… this one’s big.Mike has been part of some of the most foundational moments in hardcore. His voice and presence in Judge were raw, honest, and way ahead of their time.But what makes this conversation special is that Mike isn’t just a hardcore icon—he’s someone who stepped away, lived a completely different life, did real internal work, and came back with a groundedness you can feel.In this episode, we get into all of it: the early days, Youth of Today, the rise of Judge, identity, growth, and what it means to be a whole human being outside of the mythology people place on you.Support the show
