There is "punk", the mass-produced apolitical corporate aesthetic, and there is "punk", as in, Mark Fisher's k-punk blog, Wikileaks, The Internet Archive, a lot of Aaron Swartz's work, knitting your own hats, DIY and the right to repair, open hardware, cycling everywhere, and so on.

I'm not saying this isn't "retropunk" - it's probably a complex mash of the two meanings of the word "punk", in reality. I do hope you push for the latter meaning, however :)
