Joe Corré, sin dizajnerice Vivienne Westwood i menadžera Sex Pistolsa Malcolma McLarena, u subotu je spalio 6,24 milijuna dolara (više od 44 milijuna kuna) vrijedne memorabilije kultne punk grupe, uz rijeku Thames u Londonu.

Tim je činom zajedno s majkom proslavio četrdesetu godišnjicu objave pjesme ‘Anarchy in the U.K.’. No, nisu svi oduševljeni njihovom idejom. Od optužbi da se ponašaju poput privilegirane klase koja pali novce do štete koju su možda nanijeli okolišu, društvene mreže su doslovce bile preplavljenje komentarima, piše Mashable.

Neki su rekli da je to potpuna budalaština, a neki, pak, smatraju da je to ultimativni punk potez, nešto na što bi i sami glazbenici pristali.

@realjoecorre not surprised as you're creating toxic fumes 4 the environment! Why didn't you sell & give the money to environmental causes

Kako piše Guardian, jedna od osnivačica najslavnijeg brenda donjeg rublja na svijetu, Agent Provocateur, pridružila se sinu i obratila okupljenima na rijeci: ‘Punk nikad, nikad nije trebao biti htio biti nostalgičan i ne možete naučiti kako biti punker na radionici londonskog muzeja. Punk je postao samo još jedan marketinški trik da vam prodaju nešto što vam uopće ne treba. Iluziju alternative. Konformizam u drugoj kutiji.’

Joe Corre, torching £5m worth of memorabilia on a boat down a river isn't punk. It's the actions of a spoilt rich kid with no moral compass

Pritom su prigodno spaljene i slike bivšeg britanskog premijera Davida Camerona i trenutne premijerke Therese May nakon čega je uslijedio vatromet.

Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood speaks at an event at which a collection of punk memorabilia belonging to Joe Corre, the son of Malcolm McLaren, the former manager of the Sex Pistols and Westwood, was burnt on a boat on the River Thames, in London, Britain November 26, 2016. A collection of punk music memorabilia went up in flames on Saturday in a protest meant to highlight how the genre has been subsumed into the cultural establishment. Joe Corre set fire to his collection - which he valued at 5 million pounds - of punk-era clothes and paraphernalia from the side of a boat on the River Thames, London. Corre organised the protest to oppose a year-long festival called Punk London created to celebrate 40 years of punk culture, supported by establishment bodies like the Mayor of London, the British Council and major record label Universal Music.

Corré je ovime htio izraziti svoje nezadovoljstvo trenutnim programom događaja i izložbi pod nazivom Punk London u organizaciji grada, a koji podupiru organizacije poput Britanske knjižnice i Britanskog filmskog instituta.

Naravno, mnogi su postavili pitanje je li spaljivanje milijuna dolara, kojima se moglo pomoći mnogima, doista vrijedno izražavanja stava.
