This is the essance of the movement." The Sex Pistols did not do this.

In fact, it is these individuals who make punk difficult to define: just when you have managed to encapsulate the ethos, these free spirits break away and make you think again. Now, to quote Chris Sullivan: "Although, for the sake of simplicity, punk is described as a movement, it was only ever a collective of individual free spirits. It's supposed to be shocking, yes, but only to change people's views on things. Punk was a movement that was to break free of anything seen as controversial. If they had just stuck to the music, with Glen Matlock, they would have been brilliant. It is a constraint, and any TRUE *punk*, wouldn't allow themselves to be categorized- they wouldn't even look the stereotype. They are the only "original punk" act that likes the term "punk". In conclusion, The Sex Pistols put on a good face in punk simply because they looked like the ultimate punk image- just what Malcolm McLaren intended to build. Now the Sex Pistols are on their very ridiculous anniversay tour, which is very "un-punk" indeed. You never know what this man would like because one moment he'll like it, the next he won't. He appeared on an episode of Jugde Judy, which you can see on youtube.
Glen Matlock even knows this! In a whole, John Lydon is just a bitter man who wants attention. They also mention their influences very often, causing many of their fans to check out those influeneces, which is why punks' sales today are so high. But unknown to him, Green Day have paied their dues, and anyone who bothered to find out more about them would know that. Yes, Lydon and all the original punks had a hard time in the 70s- punks would literally get beaten on the streets for looking the way they did, and few DID look like that (until '77). They are the only ones left hold the punk flag- even if they don't want it (as they have said many times). He was definitly intimedated that they had such success as punks, when he did not. He's trying to knock out Green Day, because they are the only real PUNK competition today. Nowadays, you have see Lydon piping on about Californian punk rock band, Green Day. (PIL), who are way better than the Sex Pistols. John Lydon formed the new wave band, Public Image Ltd. Sid Vicious was the first punk wannabe- he couldn't play worth shite & was a total outfit like John Lydon, and would soon get wrapped up in his whole poseuriness and go into his junkie hole.
