What is sex pistols?
The Sex Pistols are an over-rated punk band of the 70's, made up of Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Glen Matlock, who would later be replaced by Sid Vicious (although, Glen was the brains behind the operation). 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. John Lydon formed the new wave band, Public Image Ltd. (PIL), who are way better than the Sex Pistols.
Nowadays, you have see Lydon piping on about Californian punk rock band, Green Day. He's trying to knock out Green Day, because they are the only real PUNK competition today. He did imply it. He was definitly intimedated that they had such success as punks, when he did not. They are the only ones left hold the punk flag- even if they don't want it (as they have said many times). 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). But unknown to him, Green Day have paied their dues, and anyone who bothered to find out more about them would know that. 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. Glen Matlock even knows this!
In a whole, John Lydon is just a bitter man who wants attention. He appeared on an episode of Jugde Judy, which you can see on youtube. You never know what this man would like because one moment he'll like it, the next he won't. Now the Sex Pistols are on their very ridiculous anniversay tour, which is very "un-punk" indeed.
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. They are the only "original punk" act that likes the term "punk". It is a constraint, and any TRUE *punk*, wouldn't allow themselves to be categorized-- they wouldn't even look the stereotype. If they had just stuck to the music, with Glen Matlock, they would have been brilliant.
Punk was a movement that was to break free of anything seen as controversial. It's supposed to be shocking, yes, but only to change people's views on things. NOT to be arseholes.
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. 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. This is the essance of the movement..." The Sex Pistols did not do this. They were not original. They just accepted whatever McLaren pushed on them.
And dispite me liking the music of the following bands: The Ramones, Billy Idol (of course no one knows Generation X *grumble*), The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Joan Jett, and on occasion, Iggy Pop, are all part of the typical punk wannabe's collection-- nothing else.
Poseur kid: I LOVE punk music!
Music lover: Yeah? What bands do you like, then?
Poseur kid: My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Billy Talent, Blink 182, Nirvana... The Sex Pistols...
Music lover: O_O *anger rising* The only "punk" band you have is The Sex Pistols!! And they are on everyone's damn list!
Poseur kid: So you're calling me a poseur?!
Music lover: YES! Learn REAL *punk* music! *shoves X-ray Spex, Adam & The Ants, The Adicts in poseur's face*

What does "sex pistols" mean?
A manufactured punk-rock group from the '70s. Even though they were Malcom McLaren's puppets, even though they couldn't play their instruments, even though Sid probably DID kill Nancy, I still love them.
And y'know, they were just as manufactured as Avril Lavigne is. "God Save The Queen" is as catchy as "Sk8er Boi", though "God Save the Queen" pissed off a lot more people.
The Sex Pistols are a good group, but the Ramones and the Clash are real punk.
Sex pistols - what does it mean?
A corporate puppet manufactured band who did not even know what anarchy meant and just sung about it because they were told to. Did not start up punk contrary to popular belief. Did however have a big influence on the british music scene which had some excellent bands form. Johnny rotten is fuuny as fuck and although was a member of the corporate machine which he constantly sung against earns my respect because he is funny.
sex pistols suck cock
Sex pistols - meaning
an awesome punk band from the 70's, that did not invent punk, nor define it, (the clash and ramones did that) but made it hard for many bands to follow up to their degree of punk royalty.
the sex pistols rocked and are rocking generations to come, but the clash was better...
Sex pistols - definition
70's punk band...shut up people. you like them or you dont, nobody really cares what you think of them. you can insult them all you want, see if i care, but either way, "punk" is not caring about what anybody else says. so theres no point in saying anything.

Sex pistols
A rad 70's punk band. They logged me off of Britney Spears and N*SYNC and all that worthless dribble when I was 12.
Hip-hop girl: Yo! Watcha listenin' to ho?
Punk girl: Sex Pistols.
Hip-hop girl: Oh, they's must be news.
Punk girl: They're from the 70's, dumbass.
Hip-hop girl: You be listenin' to s*** from da 70's? You gay.
Punk girl: Thanks, I'm very happy.
Sex pistols
Definatly the greatest punk band ever, they were the first people to swear on TV and thats how they became famous because their music... well... nobody liked it at the time. Now though, they are renowned as great punk artists. Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and of course their "fantastic" manager Malcom McLaren, we salute you.
I wanna be an anarchist too! That sucks about Spungeon though.
Sex pistols
An amazing 70s punk band thats members included John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten, the singer - an artistic, yet brilliant, anarchist who was all about having his own style; Steve Jones, the guitarist - an ex-burglar who only cared about getting laid; Paul Cook, the drummer - a timid longtime friend of Steve Jones; and Glenn Matlock, the bassist - a mama's boy Beatles fan. Matlock was eventually replaced with Rotten's old friend and the Sex Pistols' biggest fan John Simon Ritchie also known as Sid Vicious. Vicious's bass skills were limited, because he taught himself one night while on speed, playing with a Ramones album. After meeting Nancy Spungeon, Vicious became a herion addict, and after Nancy's murder, Vicious was to blame, although most believe Vicious was innocent. Vicious died of an overdose just several months after Nancy's murder.
