Punk was out to shock people, and they wore swastikas simply for that reason. But then neo-nazis started to try and get involved, so the the swastikas were dropped like a lead balloon. Punk wanted nothing to do with them.

Ré Siouxsie, the swastika and the punk scene: it was all in fun to shock. It has roots in Hinduism, Buddhism and in the Navajo culture had a meaning of "Friendship." The the punk scene used the symbol as a post-modern form of Dadaism, taking familiar art and symbols and applying their own meaning to them.

Interesting part!) Surprisingly, I didn't know that there is a video for "Hong Kong Garden"!

p.s.: I was frightened when I saw Siouxsie wearing swastika.( Punk tradition?
