Abstract
The article analyses the press coverage of Sex Pistols from May to December 1977after the release of their single 'God save the Queen' using the comparison of broadsheets and tabloids as represented by The Times and The Daily Mail articles. The examination of newspaper approach to Sex Pistols helps to reveal 'meaning making' figures as were intentionally used by journalists in order to shape ideological and aesthetical framework of punk music within the capitalist marketplace.
