I love the idea of fandom as punk - I came of age in the late 70's/early 80's and was as involved in punk as one could be in the midwest US during that era - so I can relate to that. For me, fandom has been more about the anarchy and creating outside of the PTB's eyes. Also creative fandom is sometimes just about making noise and getting some attention.
