I listen to a fairly small range of artists across a very wide range of styles, so I've never associated myself with any movement in that way. That said, there have been times where genres or scenes have produced a few bands at the same time who I've enjoyed, so there have been tendencies at times. But I don't try to immerse myself in one sub-culture or anything like that.
Punk has never been very big in my listening, anyway.
re: Mr Lydon, I think he sees his musical career as something that got better after the pistols, and I think he puts genuine effort into his art. I also think that, from 'Album' onwards, PiL far outstripped the Pistols. It's a bit sad that he's recognised more for the shock of the Pistols - if the musical merits of the two bands were considered more, then his work with PiL would get more praise, in my opinion. I can understand how that annoys him.
