Those are all attributes that were important for the Sex Pistols of you ask me. The image is obvious, while the Pistols were the first abrasive punk band to still be accessible and widely accepted so i'd argue they had the 'punk' sound down more than the Ramones did. As for a message, what better than 'f
uck that, listen to this'. Some of it was obviously tongue in cheek but songs like Bodies showed they were more than just the manufactured band that they get ridiculed for being.
