Topper Headon

Now here's an example of a real punk! Toppers got it down to a T. He's realised that shite hairstyles are not an obligatory part of the punk ethic. He shuns all of that bullshit and opts to wear a hat! Look at that shirt as well. And the belt! And the can of lager in the background! Dapper is the word. Oh God, I'm fixiated by the shirt. I want one desperately.

But yes, if only more musicians had style like this! Actually no. That would be awful. Topper clones would be running around, spoiling the fun for everyone. I'm glad its just Topper that's Topper. Topper!

Siouxsie Sioux

Now this is a hard one. During the late 70's and early 80's Sioux would change her hairstyle on a seemingly daily basis. Not that there's anything wrong with that - it just makes my job somewhat harder. My favourite Siouxsie-do would have to be the one she sported on the Bill Grundy show with the Sex Pistols. She looked like a cross between a pirate and a blond mummy. Definitely something you wouldn't have wanted to see on an acid trip.

Sid Vicious

It's Sid Vicious. The dead one from the Sex Pistols who was engaged to the Ugly One. Y'know the ugly, ugly one he ended up murdering with plastic fork. Emulating his hairstyle shouldn't be too difficult, just don't wash your hair for the next 10 years. You might want to pray for a seagull to take a shat on your head. The more often this happens the more pronounced the effect will be.

Amount you'll have to spend emulating his style : $0.00

Johnny Rotten

Here's Johnny during his "Gaunt Irish Zombie" period. Rotten never seemed to plan anything and I'm sure his choice of hairstyle was not his own, rather his beds. Or more like the park bench's going by the evidence of this picture. Still though it shows a lot more character than a lot of other so called punks. Argh!!! That picture is actually quite freaky! Try to stare him in the eyes for a few moments. Jesus........I'm enthralled by the texture of his hair. It doesn't know what it wants to do.

It was probably just one of his bad hair days.

Glen Matlock

Glen Matlock from the Sex Pistols. Can he really be considered a punk? He seems like more of a mod to me. He'd fit in well to that particular clic methinks. I bet him and Paul Weller go busking together. As for his hairdo......there isn't really that much to say is there? He had the haircut of someone you'd meet down the pub who'd rabbit on for hours on end on why the Beatles are the best band ever. And the only way out would be to either kill yourself or kill him. Or both, depending how you are feeling.

Generation X

This is Billy Idol's band isn't it? Oh yes, there he is on the left. His hairstyle is similar to Tidus's out of Final Fantasy X in this particular shot. The guy to the right of him looks a bit like Patti Smith. Can't really see his hairdo. Just a black patch. Maybe he was missing half a face. Is that Steve Cook next to him? Fuck that's uncanny. And last but not least we have jowled Owl Man who looks really like Rodney from Only Fools and Horses. None of them really have any memorable hairdo's. They all look like junkies. Or anime video game characters.

Fuck! The guy on the right really does look like Rodney. Jesus.

Boomtown Rats

Scruffy Bob and the Boomtown Shats. Hark! Bob has always looked like a vagrant. Shouldn't he be playing the saxophone in a blues band instead of leading a punk group? Perhaps thats why the Rats were so awful. Bob's heard was always elsewhere. He couldn't be bothered with the music, he just wanted to trawl through the backstreets of London, bin-hoking for snagged fegs.
