Sex Pistols. Don’t get me wrong I like them, but they were children who made one album and were barely a band for a year. Their hype really comes down to the story of Sid and Nancy’s deaths.
My understanding is that it was a more or less some kids that hung out at the same stores in a mall.
Edit: I looked it up. They hung out in Vivian’s Westwoods clothing store, Sex. Westwood and another fashion guy from those stores managed and styled them. Sounds like Westwood might have even fed them lines that became lyrics. They barely knew how to play their instruments for a solid chunk of that time.

Weren’t they a manufactured boy band also? I think I read that somewhere

Sounds like a boy band to me.
There is a sound bite on the pirates of destiny album where Lydon was recorded saying that sid couldn’t play anything so ig that confirms it
