The ancient flag of Great Britain, the Union Jack is associated not just with a country, but with music, the Royal Family, history, and chic.
Various musical movements from the Mods, the Punks, Sixties Pop and Britpop have adopted the flag as their symbol. Ferris Bueller had one in his bedroom. It's a symbol that's a flag if you're British, and a fashion statement if you're not.
