1960s MOD
Loading...
Uploaded by foxfairyshirley on Jun 3, 2008
Mod lifestyle emerged in England in early 1960s, and it is sometimes referred to as modism. Elements of the mod lifestyle include music, clothes, dancing and motorscooters. Working-class kids, inspired by the new British rock, came together to create a new culture. As if by spontaneous combustion, that culture quickly spread beyond England to the entire world; eventually it defined a generation. Since the mid 60s, the mainstream media often used the term mod in a wider sense to describe anything that was popular, fashionable or modern.

okay but nothing mentioned about Mod Men's fashion, its all female and The Beatles' moptop? Is this sexist or what?
-
Cute presentation, but a little too much repetition of images and the music selections could not be worse, completely destroyed any credibility.

Two corrections right off the bat:
1) it's ModERNism, not "modism". Get it right.
2) original 60s mods were not influenced by the "new British Rock." In fact, they hated it. They were influnced by modern jazz (hence the TERM "mod"...short for Modern Jazz). Later most mods were influenced by American R&B, namely Stax and Tamla Motown.
If you think I'm making this up, you obviously hadn't done a scrap of real research.

Shit, are we having a culture war about this now, can't we all just get along? Where's the love? Especially nowadays.
