since were living in this new age of understanding when it comes to how becoming famous (especially tabloid famous/infamous) at a young age negatively effects your mental health and psychological development i think its time that ppl start reevaluating how they talk about the sex pistols

#sex pistols #hoodie talks #i mean i would think this regardless but seriously #any conversation about the sex pistols that doesnt include just how young they were and how mistreated by the public and press they were #is an incomplete one that doesnt address crucial aspects of their story #you cannot understand why sid vicious ended up dead from suicide at 21 without talking about this!#you cannot understand why johnny rotten is the way he is now without talking about this!#johnny got famous at 19! he spent his entire adult life famous! and by famous i mean infamous aka The Bad Type Of Famous #he was the designated acceptable target of an entire nation during some of the most formative years of his life #'why is he so mean and defensive?' oh idk maybe its bc ppl stabbed him bc he sang a song they didnt like!#imagine being 20 years old and every journo in the country is either writing about you being the voice of your generation #or about how youre the spawn of satan who should be hung from the nearest lamp post #imagine youre 20 and the government is saying that shit about you too #imagine youre 20 and every single thing you say is picked at and poured over and ascribed countless different meanings #imagine youre 20 and you cant even walk down the street without being harassed by someone you dont know #imagine youre 20 and someone sticks a razor in your hand and disables you for life bc you wrote a song they didnt like #imagine youre 20 and your neighbor barges into your flat bc your music was too loud and stabs your 14 year old friend #and then when you ask the police for help they tell you that she deserved it for hanging out with you #now imagine the kind of person youd be if you lived through all of that #and now imagine that every time you ever sorta lashed out or were kinda mean ppl said 'shut up you whiny attention whore'#imagine if everyone collectively got together when you were 19 and decided that you didnt get to be a person anymore forever #thats what johnny lydon's life has been since 1975 #punk rock posting
