Wieden + Kennedy’s Portland office posed the question: is the web today’s punk rock? The question strikes me as vaguely out-of-touch… something Carrie Bradshaw might diddle on her laptop in a 1998 episode of Sex in the City.

I think the answer is, no, at least not without the extra dimension of time.

Perhaps: punkrock was to music in 1971 as the internet was to media in 1997? But today?

Right now, time spent on the Internet rivals time spent with TV. And much like Green Day and punk rock, the Internet outgrew its insurgent roots long ago. It’s mainstream, baby. And we’re all better for it.
