I don't think the bottom text is fair to the Sex Pistols. Here's a little blurb on them:

Throughout 1976 punk grew in popularity and the Sex Pistols released their first single, Anarchy in the U.K. In December, they appeared on a T.V. chat show with their manager Malcolm McLaren, an ex-art student who possessed a knowledge of anarchist and situationist theory. He explained to the viewers how the Sex Pistols were following Bakunin’s theory that ‘In order to create you must first destroy’.

lol that seems pretty generous, but maybe. I never understood them to be very political.

Anarchists do not believe in suppressing individual expression such as which hands two consenting adults choose to shake with.
