The punk aesthetic was invented by a man who owned a fashion label and had his own storefront.

He ripped it off from a man who was one of punk's founding fathers.

For those not in the know, he was a member of a number of New York punk bands in the 70s. Malcolm McLaren nicked his style (along with that of others) and brought it over to England to sell in his clothing store Sex.
