Imho a "punk" style, anti-authority counter culture has emerged. It's called anonymous and just like punk it's a reaction to the excesses of the "establishment". Only unlike punk, instead of demonstrating membership via your hair, music and clothes, this one uses the shiboleth of computer literacy and meme awareness as the group identifiers.

And unlike punk's self destructive near impotence to do anything but rage. The modern movement actually has some tools to fight back with.



Tools more effective than bodily fluids. ;)
