Just because you're not snarling 'Smash the system' at every given opportunity doesn't mean your not rebelling.
Pink Floyd were the soundtrack to something much bigger. They came from a scene where you could get beaten up or arrested just for having long hair , where everyone was expected to get boring 9 to 5 jobs where anyone who wanted to do anything different were under constant harassment.
It wasn't just them , it was anarchists , writers , poets , musicians , journalists and all sorts of likeminded people would meet up and want to do something different.
That's where the rebellion against the system comes from and it was that starting point from where punk was given a base to start from approx 10 years later.
