Pretty much. Sometimes it aligned with other less-savory movements (like the backlash against disco, where a lot of racist and anti-LGBT forces co opted a long-standing "fuck corporate radio" movement) or became a pseudo-pop style unto itself (prog, grunge) - but "you won't hear the best stuff on the radio" has been the advice of in-the-know music lovers since way back when radio was the peak of mass media (blacks need not apply).

The history of strategic bombing shows dropping bombs on civilians paradoxically tends to increase rather than degrade morale, and an attitude of "fuck the procedure, just get it working" tends to expedite a lot of repairs.

To wit, there's records of German factories in WWII being more productive the month after being bombed compared to the month before.
