  Sex Pistols - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnny Rotten, who was another of the clientele of the by now renamed and restyled 'SEX' boutique, showed up at the shop in August 1975 wearing a homemade 'I Hate Pink Floyd' t-shirt.
Rotten and his circle of friends walked into the arrangement already possessed of a similar style -- a grunged-out version of the 'soul boy' fashion affected by fans of Roxy Music.
The atmosphere in the evening show was counter to the negative publicity that had been generated towards the band by the tabloid press; before the show, Johnny Rotten mingled with the crowd wearing his pith helmet, and the good humour of the matinee (which was a benefit played for free) lingered on.

 Sex Pistols Biography (Sid Vicious, Johnny Rotten) - In The Flesh
Vocalist John Lydon, who would later perform under the name Johnny Rotten, met the rest of the group at the shop and was asked to join the band.
While the band played simple rock and roll loudly and abrasively, Rotten arrogantly sang of anarchy, abortion, violence, fascism, and apathy; without Rotten, the band wouldn't have been threatening to England's government — he provided the band's conceptual direction, calculated to be as confrontational and threatening as possible.
Rotten left the band after their show at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on January 14, heading back to New York; he would form Public Image Limited later that year.

As Warp synopsized, "Johnny is a hyperactive, shape-shifting mutant child, kept locked away in a basement.
Shot in awkward spotlight, Johnny smooshes his unhinged body parts - an eye here, a jaw, um, over there - onto a pane of glass in front of the camera, leaving behind gobs of flesh and smeared sweat as he mutates.
Rubber Johnny was named Best Experimental Short, and won $3000, at the Melbourne International Film Festival last Friday, one of ten awards given out in their 44th International Short Film Competition.

We are all now familiar with the Rotten (nee Lydon) persona: the madcap clown, the malcontent, the snarling sarcastic commentator on all that is, well, rotten in contemporary society; the punk anti-idol, the media flguard (thanks VH1!!), the experimental artist who bafflingly slid into late-80's mediocrity.
Johnny was none too happy with the tribalistic conformity that seeped into punk not long after its inception.

John Joseph Lydon (born January 31, 1956), also known as Johnny Rotten (a nickname derived from his favourite saying: You're rotten, you are) was the iconoclastic lead singer of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd (PiL) and an Irish individualist anarchist.
