The same could be said of any psychedelic, new age, prog rock music. Have you listened to The Yes Album? Or Foxtrot by Genesis?
I have never abused any drug, legal or otherwise, yet I am a huge Pink Floyd fan as well as prog rock and find Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band one of the finest albums of all time. Yet I do not feel the need to be stoned or high on drugs to enjoy them.
Just because a musician took drugs, is not a endorsement of them.
In fact David Gilmour did take cocaine during his divorce with then wife Ginger, he refers to the "usual rock star coke lifestyle"
And I quote from another website here:
I must say, Gilmour nails it on the head with one line, and this is a direct quote....."It's a drug that does nothing for anyone." True words, those! Actually it turns people into shells of people. It has the ability to deceive it's user, building up false confidence, "allowing" them to become more talkative and all the rest. "It left me with a prematurely aged heart", was another comment Gilmour made on the subject.
So back to the subject matter, Punk did not kill off Pop music, end of
