Yes this is exactly what I wanted to say. I've been at 4chan since 2004, until I got banned several times in a row and just gave up going back around 2010.
Anonymous being blown up in the media was the funniest shit ever because we all knew what Anonymous was. It's more like a sub-culture than a hacker group.
Sure several hacker groups have existed under the anonymous umbrella but they were all 4channers, or b-tards. They were all under the same sub-cultural umbrella and could just as well been single actors acting under the anonymous brand.
So that's why anonymous will never go away, because it's essentially just people in some way influenced by the 4chan sub-culture, acting in the name of anonymous.
