I'm not sure why Anonymous does not fit the article's definition.
- kragen 16y agoThey do, explicitly: Contrary to this, CHAN-culture (imageboards, fast communication channels) and the ANON-meme (crowd orientated cyber actions) try different ways in waging real mass-based cyberwars, they reach this point by being more punk again, punk as in: deviant subculture that parents are afraid of. I read this as saying that Anonymous and 4chan (and friends) have reached the point of being punk again, in that sense.
