Mod culture

Mod culture originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1950s and reached its peak in the 1960s. Characterized by its stylish and sharp fashion choices—think tailored suits, mini skirts, and bold accessories—Mods were also known for their love of modern jazz, rhythm and blues music, and scooter culture. The movement embraced youth, individualism, and a reaction against traditional norms, often symbolized by their vibrant social scene and nightclubs. Mods diverged from other youth subcultures by focusing on fashion, music, and a carefree lifestyle, influencing music, fashion, and popular culture for decades to come.
