During Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee celebrations, The Pistols released "God Save the Queen," a song that questioned social norms and monarchy. Punk rock was filled with controversial lyrics and a rebellious spirit, which led to churches and prohibition. Due to public outcry over the single's provocative cover art, which featured Queen Elizabeth II with a safety pin on her face, the band stopped playing and major radio stations "God Save the Queen" short airing Reach also became a hit phrase for the punk movement, encouraging later generations of musicians to question authority and use music to protest
