I don't see why people say the Sex Pistols were manufactured. They were a band before Malcom McLaren came along. He may have given them Johnny Rotten, but he didn't invent the band. And they didn't become a "boy band" until they kicked Glann Matlock, their main songwriter, out and replaced him with Sid Vicious.
And if you were gonna call the Sex Pistols manufactured then you may be able to say the same thing about the Clash to some extent. Their Manager Bernie Rhodes basically put together London SS, the band that eventually became the Clash, just like people claim that McLaren put together the Sex Pistols, and pushed them into the whole political direction they went possibly even more than the band wanted to go themselves.
