In many ways, social media has become the anti-establishment version of the mainstream media. The way information is distributed is through a less hierarchical channel (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace) centered around short bits of information (e.g. Blogs, Tweets, Updates). And like Punk, it also embraces a DIY ethic where self-publishing and grassroots marketing is the key to getting the message out there.

Makes you think, if Twitter or Faceboook was a punk band, which one would they be?
