The Jam - Art School

if youre talking bout pop punk....ure about right

@ravenTJ1979 - Punk actually originates towards the end of the sixties with the MC5 (founded 1964), The Stooges (founded 1967), the New York Dolls (founded 1970), the Velvet Underground (1965)... all long before Rotten, Strummer and co, who acknowledge their influence too.

ha im 19 and i know mod was before punk. If anything mod influenced punk. Mods like The Who were around in the 60s and provided a sound that branched off into punk rock and gave rise to bands like the Sex Pistols, Ramones etc.

BOLLOX

Wrong thats not punk.

When Townshed smashed his guitar or Moon is drum kit it was not punk,it was mod.

iggy pop was from the 60s ,mc5 but didnt mods come from ska

No mods was from the 60s early who, the kinks and other british bands were MOD they sometimes are labeled as hippy in america cause there was no MOD movement there but thats wrong.

Scooters and tailor suits (fashion in general) were also important to 60 Mods , Austin Powers character is more of a Mod than a hippy but gets labeled the other way .


The Jam was a Mod revival.

Punk? Mod? Get over these vile categories, it is simply good music, pigeonholes to put them in are not appropiate. Labeling music is for the assholes at the record companies, they have such narrow minds they must label everything. Some music is so intelligent it is simply Art, that is what we are dealing with when we talk about The Jam, real art.

How did punk give birth to mod? there was mods in the eary 60s...

This band are loved like no other in towns throughout provincial England.  I grew up in a town near Stoke in the 90s and the Jam were never off the juke box.
