Mod

You may not see quite so much of the Mod sub culture today but they do still exist. There is even a facebook page dedicated to the sub culture.

A Mod was a product of working class British youth of the mid-sixties. They portrayed an image of being stuck up, emulating the middle classes, snobbish and phoney. The Mod boys dressed in suits, neat narrow trousers, and pointed shoes. The girls displayed a boyish image. They darkened their eyes and wore their hair short to fit a unisex type of culture.
The Mods were essentially from London and the South East and were complete followers of the latest fashion. They consumed purple hearts (a mixture of amphetamine and barbiturates). Each had to have a Lambretta GT 200 or a Vespa GS 160. These were their scooters that they rode as part of their stigma that connected them to being a Mod.


This Is England shows clearly the Mod way of life.


I feel like the Mod culture is still around but more so in the older generation. To me it doesn't seem a style that the younger generation have adopted.
