The MODS!

A few weeks ago I was looking for an inspiration for my final exams collection, and I came across this interesting subculture - THE MODS - that originated in London in the late 1950s and peaked in the mid 1960s. 
Elements of the mod subculture, as said in the video, include fashion ( often tailor-made suits ), music - the most significant bands being the Kinks, the Who, Small Faces; and motor scooters. 
The original mod-scene was also associated with the use of amphetamines that fuelled all-night dancing at clubs.


Qualche settimana mentre stavo cercando l'ispirazione per la mia collezione per esami finali, ho trovato questa sottocultura interessante e divertente - THE MODS -che ha avuto origine a Londra alla fine dei anni '50 e ha raggiunto il picco a metà dei 1960.
Elementi della sottocultura mod, come detto nel video, sono la moda (spesso abiti su misura), la musica - le band più significative sono i Kinks, gli Who, Small Faces;  e i scooter.
L'originale scena dei mods era anche associata con l'uso di anfetamine che li permetteva di ballare nelle discoteche per tutta la notte. 






A mod revival started in the late 1970s in the UK, that was partly inspired by the 1979 film Quadrophenia and by mod influenced bands such as The Jam and the Secret Affair. 
The 1990s Britpop scene featured noticeable mod influences on bands such as Oasis, Blur, Ocean Colour Scene and The Verve. 

Il mod revival e' iniziato nei tardi 1970 in Gran Bretagna, che è stato in parte ispirato dal film Quadrophenia del 1979 e influenzato dalle band mod come The Jam and The Secret Affair.






In 1990 la scena Britpop evidenzia le influenze mod evidente sulle band come Oasis,Blur, Ocean Colour Scene e The Verve.
