Mod


A modernist is a subculture that originated in London in the late 1950s and peaked in the early to mid 1960s.
mod subculture, just as other subcultures, include: fashion (often tailor-made suits); pop music, including African American soul, and British beat music and R&B; and Italian motor scooters. The mods were also associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs.
As with many subcultures, mods are characterized by there clothing and music, both of which become an obsession for Mods. The clothing has a vintage, well-tailored, and pea cockish look, favoring bright patterns, plenty of color, brands like Ben Sherman and Fred Perry, and slim-cut, three button suits (preferably Italian) in the style of the sixties.
mod music are usualy danceable,and include old school Ska, Soul, and R&B as well as New Wave, Britpop, and Alternative Rock.
Another defining characteristic of Mods is their chosen mode of transportation, the Italian moterscooter (most notably Vespa and Lambretta).
These scooters tend to be in a retro style and sometimes heavily customized.
Mods tend not to get into fights willingly because they fear they may damage there attire, however there has been large rows between mods and rockers.
