Have you considered that cancel culture is the new punk rock? Look at the reaction in this thread. The responses range from clutching pearls to legitimate fear. Just like the reactions to punk rock.
Even the real punk rock was pretty much in line with what we consider cancel culture. It's an attack on the establishment:

- finnthehuman 6y agoNo, I haven't considered that shutting down expression was punk. But I was never in the punk scene, all I know is that it was fun music that caused a lot of unwarranted fuss from those against punk music being heard. Maybe I'm wrong. >punk rock was pretty much in line with what we consider cancel culture. It's an attack on the establishment Calling cancel culture "anti-establishment" is like a congressperson running for reelection by campaigning against "washington insiders." Like, yeah, you can make the case that it's not a 1-to-1 match with the establishment status quo, but only because the status quo is the vector sum of a hodgepodge of mutually exclusive but still individually powerful components.

You can't be a rebel when the establishment supports you every step of the way. Here's Siouxsie being punk enough that she'd be cancelled today: https://www.reddit.com/r/goth/comments/ire2cs/what_is_up_with_this_pic_of_siouxsie_wearing_a/ https://www.reddit.com/r/goth/comments/ire2cs/what_is_up_wit...
