smetrov Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Either in the late 70's or 60's I was part of the 1979 mod revival - and had a great but wild couple of years - seems to be another re surgance with quite a few bands and scooterists still around.

dAVe80 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Not old enough to have been a proper Mod, but I used to love all that stuff, when I was younger. The music, the scooters, the fashion etc. I did go through a bit of a Rudeboy phase, wearing Ben Shermans and Fred Perrys etc. Still got a Harrington, and my old cherry red DMs will be kicking about somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 my grandad was a rocker, he had the bike and leathers. infact he still has his leathers from his youth and always made fun of mods, even to this day he will make the odd mod remark. although he has the who in his record collection he did not like them one bit which i found strange.

mjmooney Posted December 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2014 The original 60s mods were all about obscure American soul and jazz - a direct precursor of the northern soul scene. By the time The Who jumped on the bandwagon it was all over. So when The Jam came along, copying The Who, it was doubly absurd. Personally, I avoided tribes completely, and listened to music from across the spectrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't remember thinking about it too deeply. I liked the music, I disliked the awful music and clothes of the older kids in sixth form. It would be much cooler now to say I was an independent spirit discovering obscure world music and working out my own fashion sense. The reality was, at the time I needed to be part of a gang or a thing. We got Saturday jobs, we saved our money, when we had enough we'd get on the train to London to buy cheap unfinished suits just off Carnaby Street. We'd get measured up, go off drinking and being a general nuisance and then at the end of the day return to pick up the finished suit. Change on the train as we got close to home, stroll into the Fantasia Club and be kings for the night. Ahh, good times. I mean, look at me now, it clearly never did me any harm!

tonyh29 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) We had jiggers at my school which were sorta casuals who listened to Jazz funk Friday's always results in the mods and the jiggers meeting at the local park and some form of fight breaking out ... And then on Monday we'd all go to school and embellish our roles in the "fight"..... I'm not actually sure a punch was ever thrown when I think back to it Edited December 20, 2014 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
