      The demise of youth culture was totally engineered by the British state, governments ( labour& tory) hated all forms of youth culture. The Rave scene was the last , and was killed off by a government Bill banning " repetitive beats". Nowadays, young people have to worry about their pensions. Thank christ I was born in 1954, I would hate to be young now. This country is ruined.

      They do here in Manchester and Lancashire, in fact most of us oldies look back very fondly and join together remembering Mods, Rockers, Two Tone, Madness, Punk, Queen and all the many other brilliantly creative bands and people "Way Back Then." Many people are still unsure about Synth Bands and New Romantics but that genre produced good music too. Ahh I'm so pleased I was around and young in those days.......

    I was more of an 80's teen mod but liked the Rocker Music as well. Anyone born in the 70's will remember Suggs, Baggy Trousers and Madness. My late Uncle was a Vespa Driving Mod in the 60's with Desert Boots according to my late Aunt. They were both in there 20's then. My Dad was part Mod with an MG Magnette Car two Tone Paint White Wall Tyres, Chelsea Boots, Suede Jacket and Narrow suits a bit like the Saint Syle. My Mom was Sofia Loren Style high Cheek Bones, Black Hair, Olive Skin and Smart Dresses, Kitten Heels, Small Behive like my smaller Aunt who was in to Soul. All loved the 60's era and the Clubs and Dance, Coffee Bars. My late uncle was always in his suit as far as I can remember. My other Uncle was an Etype Jag Driving Mod who frequented City Night Life and was Friends with Lance Percival who he Gambled with in the 60's. He had that life style

      You’re only talking about the 80’s New Wave Revival and it’s caricature : very reducing and limited vision ... "Harrington" jackets are in fact windbreakers mostly first worn by American Collegiates like Rodney Harrington, the character played by Ryan O’Neal in US TV Sitcom "Peyton Place" (in truth, "Harrington” is a very recent clothing label deposited by French manufacturers to exploit the trend, never such brand existed before! ) and the original casual wear was created by English clothing brand, Barracuta, in the 1930’s which was in turn massively imported in the 1940’s by American Brooks Brothers... Most mods didn’t even wear Fred Perry’s, they had French, Italian or German polo shirts with long pointy lapels, often zipped-up!

      @@crapple009 Thank you gor your lecture, but I know all that already! Saying Peyton Place is a Soap Opera not a Sitcom is like saying Soul doesn’t come from R&B, two sides of a same coin. As for New wave not being from the 1980’s, you’re trippin’ : New Wave emerged at the tail end of Punk late ‘78/79 just like the mod revival and I was referring to mods from that New Wave period, the first revival in many ways as important as the original wave from ‘59/65. Up to when a French brand called themselves "Harrington" manufacturing that design of windbreakers who registered trademark in the early 00’s, there was no really such thing as Harrington jackets and the name referred to the College jacket Ryan O’Neal’s character in that Soap or Sitcom (whatever you wanna call it! ), Rodney Harrington was wearing; the Original design was made in the 1930’s by Barracuta, but there were thousands of brands reproducing that jacket style (Penney’s, Sears, Mc Greggor... you name it! ).

      @@AstroMockerSelector Calling my reply a "lecture"? Seriously? Got it. But you wrote "New Wave Revival", not me. How could there be a new wave revival in the early 80's when new wave was happening then? It's impossible. Revivals always come after the fact, usually 15-20 years after the fact. Please re-read your original comment. And no, I'm not "trippin''"- I know the new wave (post punk) era started in 1978 and continued into the early 80's. If anything, there was a 60's revival in the early 80's (Mod/British Invasion). However, that was retro as opposed to the then-contemporary new wave scene. Sitcoms (short for 'situation-comedies) and soap operas are two totally different things: It's like saying Peyton Place ( a soap opera) is the same genre as Friends (a sitcom). As far as Harrington jackets are concerned, I agree with you on those. No need to get worked up or use exclamation points-my reply wasn't meant to be taken personal or as an attack. Just stating some facts in a calm manner, that's all.

    Good old Suggs, always liked the bloke. The 1960s was a great time to grow up in the UK, as far as the music and culture were concerned. Mods and Rockers were just a part of it, not dominant at all. Like Teddy Boys, a lot of people didn't know any Mods and Rockers. And of course London was the epicentre of it all. Times change, and it's incredible how things and places change beyond all recognition.

    Pete Townshend was eventually exhausted by Mod. Even though The Who were the top band in the country as their sort of representatives or ambassadors, if you will, he just couldn't keep up. He said every week there was a new rule that had to be followed. Weird things like a shirt collar had to be a certain cut one week and was totally unfashionable the next. Measurements and colors came and went. Drove him crazy trying to keep up with the latest trends. It's all in Quadrophenia:
    " I've had enough of dance halls
    I've had enough of pills
    I've had enough of street fights
    I've seen my share of kills
    I'm finished with the fashion
    And acting like I'm tough
    I'm bored with hate and passion
    I've had enough of trying to love"

    I was a rocker on the weekdays while travelling to work on my Triumph Tiger Cub motorbike, and after passing my test on it, I moved to a more powerful Triumph Speed Twin. I loved motorbikes simply for the speed and going low when cornering. On the scooter, you couldn't go low. However, at the weekends I'd transformed into a Mod, riding my mate Vespa or Lambretta, and nightclubbing at the Flamingo and the Marquee club. I even ended up going on Ready Steady Go. In 1972 I bought a Mini.

Later skinheads latched onto punk and called their version of it Oi. As far as I know, rockers were just into 1950s rock'n'roll (which is why they were seen as "old-fashioned" in the 1960s).
      Soul music came from rythm'n'blues, and ska/reggae _partly_ came from rhythm'n'blues. Rock'n'roll also came from rhythm'n'blues, as did punk if you trace it back far enough, but soul and ska/reggae didn't come from rock'n'roll.

    Dressing smart makes you feel good, it makes you what you are.
    Thats what goes through my mind whilst getting ready to go out.
    Im more of a vespa man myself, probably because im a sucker for curves.
    I couldn't be a rocker, im not keen on leather.

    Being a rocker was more of an american thing, whilst being a mod was much more british.
    Although mods loved american black soul music and european slick fashion trends.

    Reverse Psychology seems to work very well on women ?
    Also if asked "Do i have a nice Xss u say "Yer its alright"
    She will then have to prove to u it is.
    Apart from all that reason I'm here is my old man was apart of this era but a trouble maker but still proud he was and was a Mod
    England has always been a Village mentality which is very sad
    I grew up in England until 9 yrs old then left because my Old man was attacked and Hospitalised for what he had done to others

TBH if either rockers or mods had any sense they would have taken the money offered by the press to have scuffles and then turned on the press and give them a good beating instead. The so-called mods rockers fights were about tribalism, nothing more. If nothing else it shows how much the press and media invent stories,to suit their agenda
