【Le bijou d’amour】

We get it,Le bijou d’amour Joe Corré. You're very punk.

Son of designer Vivienne Westwood and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, Corré spent Saturday doing something so anti-punk that arguably, it's punk again.

He reportedly burned £5 million ($6.24 million) in memorabilia on the river Thames, London.

And you guessed it; not everyone on social media was impressed with the statement-making exercise that marked the 40th anniversary of "Anarchy in the U.K."

From accusations of privileged wastefulness to criticism of the environmental damage such a stunt might cause, critics thought the whole thing very foolish.

Others, however, though it was all pretty, you know, punk.

According to The Guardian, the Agent Provocateur co-founder (how punk) kicked off proceedings aboard the steamship punk by telling the crowd on the shore "Punk was never, never meant to be nostalgic, and you can't learn how to be one at a Museum of London workshop.

"Punk has become another marketing tool to sell you something you don’t need. The illusion of an alternative choice. Conformity in another uniform."

And with that, dressed up effigies of political figures like former leader David Cameron and current prime minster, Theresa May, were lit up, setting off fireworks.

Why destroy millions in merch? Corré is against the City of London's current program of events and exhibitions called Punk London, supported by such lame-stream organisations like the British Library and the British Film Institute. Boo!

And thus, the great burning. Quickly followed by the great Twitter scolding.

But not everyone was set on burning Corré the way he'd just burned a bunch of priceless collectibles for no real reason.

It all raises the question -- is it punk to spurn punk? Is burning millions of dollars worth of goods punk, when it could be better spent helping others?

Either way, if there was ever a time punk wasn't sullied by bourgeois sentiment, we must have missed it.
