The concept of multilayered backlashes is hardly new either to 
Wikipedia or to Punk Rock; it's present, for instance, in the 
centuries-old English word "antidisestablishmentarianism", which is a 
name for the backlash against disestablishmentarianism, which in turn 
is the backlash against establishmentarianism.  If another level of 
backlash were to develop, it might be named 
"contraantidisestablishmentarianism".
