Their philosphical influence on numerous punk bands in the 1980s cannot be overstated, even if few bands mimicked their more free-form musical style. Whereas the Sex Pistols' anarchism seemed to be a self-conscious, nihilistic prank, Crass's anarchism was more directly linked to anarchism as a 20th century social and political movement.
