Hm. Maybe it's taking the "punk" part to literal that prevents getting better stories. I mean, the point (as far as there is one) of punk is anti-corporatism, anti-fascism, combined with direct action.

That'll end up in street warfare one way or another. I'm honestly not sure how an actual punk story involving psy-ops would even look like. (Sure, the setup might be different, but sooner or later, heads are going to be knocked)

I think that a "-punk" story with direct action and psy-ops would probably incorporate culture jamming. Are you familiar with the term?

I wasn't - thank you for introducing me to it!
I first heard about it from AdBusters.
