Their philosphical influence on numerous punk bands from the 1980s on cannot be overstated, even if few bands mimicked their more free-form musical style. Whereas the Sex Pistols' anarchism seemed to be a self-consciously nihilistic prank, Crass's anarchism was more directly linked to the libertarian socialist or communalistic varieties of 20th century anarchism.
