I think Rotton was just bitter because he was far more successful (in record sales and, in his mind, artistically) with PiL.

I had a mohican for a bit a few years back. It was one of those 'I need a haircut, my mate has some clippers, but I don't want to shave it all off decisions. It looked pretty good, and got me quite a lot of ass (he says modestly and non-chavenistically). Anyway...

I was out one night, with said mohawk, and a 'punk' comes up to me and asks me if I'm a real punk. To which I say, "No". He says, "Oh, I suppose you copied your haircut from David Beckham then". I laughed and told him to fuck off. He then goes on about how 'fashion punks' really piss him off. Then:

Me: I used to listen to a bit of punk.
Him: What, like the commercial stuff, fucking Green Day and that shit?
Me:No, more the earlier stuff.
Him: What, the real punk stuff? Like Nofx?
Me: Nah, more like the pistols and the Clash.
Him: Who are the Clash?

I could not, and still cannot believe that this guy was laying into me for being a fashion punk when he HAD NOT EVER HEARD THE CLASH. And from then on I decided that punk was just a load of shite for idiots.
