The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle was a movie about the Sex Pistols, written and directed by Julien Temple. It was told from the point of view of Malcolm McLaren.
The term was later by Jello Biafra, reguarding his former Dead Kennedys bandmates "reunion" tour with a singer other then Biafra. This outraged fans, and Biafra called the newly dubbed "DK Kennedys" the "greediest karaoke band ever".
