One of the best examples of the kind of transgressive punk style, as described and analyzed in Dick Hebdige's Subculture: The Meaning of Style--Siouxsie Sioux, of Siouxsie and the Banshees. As Hebdige observes, punks' use of the swastika was meant to shock the bourgeoisie, not out of any political affinity for Nazism.

Hey, do you know exactly where this image comes from? I'm writing an essay on attitudes to fascism in punk and post-punk music at the moment and am using it as a source, therefore it needs to be properly refferenced. Would appreciate you getting back to me :)
best,
