Too true. My dad was a Rocker, and I remember his Mod friends coming around our house when I was a kid. Speaking to my dad, he can't remember seeing any fights between Mods and Rockers, apart from the media had orchestrated. Most of the early Mods had come from the the shrinking Rock n Roll Teddy Boy, Ton up Ted scene of the early 60's anyway, and this is why so many of them were friends.
lol,yeah why not they are nice bikes, i'm a Mod, but was originally a Punk, still love punk rock and rock n roll. Everyone can do what the fuck they want, at the end of the day, that's what being yourself is all about.
LMAO! some of us were on the fence. We liked both sorts of music so we just dressed appropriately for whichever night club had the band we wanted to dance to that weekend! And yes! we girls learned mod dance moves and could jive too (still can at 64 years young)
I see in various pictures, Rockers, wearing 'military' looking peaked caps, similar to WW2 German U-boat captains. What was the origin of this particular headwear?
. . . I have to laugh watching these pics, what inspired youngsters then are totally different to todays lifestyles. Imagine the early 60s when The Stones and The Beatles were just coming through to take us over, the Mods and Rockers were battling it out all over the coastal resorts. I never saw them but they were always in the news during Public Holiday Weekends.
its weird that mods and rockers ever had a spat to begin with, they learned to much from eachother style and music wise. england must was bored and needed action(my guess)
Right mate. Sorry, my mouth was too quick again. I simply cannot hold it when it comes to disconnected islands. You are right, thinking of all the great things you gave to this planet: warm no-foam-beer, pounds-and-stones-and-feet-and-miles-and-Whitworth, plum pudding, and don´t forget to mention the goalkeepers. Thank God and The Queen! Btw: Is she rocker or mod?
we came and we conkerd still got me tonic suite parker and the chrome panels of me 200 still in the shed scoot long gone still got the brass nuckel duster a rocker named billco from salisbury gave me he road a rocket gold star whith biggest ape bars i ever seen me 62 now and i still live it every day! orsome time guys and gals would do it again tommora
I agree with you that we all tend to group "in packs" and the criteria could be no matter what, you name it, fashion, cultural backgrounds, music, political.. but you have to admit that despite the apparent uniformity, inside a group there will always be a small number of individuals who are different, cooler, acting like a nucleus and justifying the presence of others...Tuscany, summer, linen clothing, persol glasses and hair gel - Scooter COOL; Bombay, dirt, cholera - Scooter NOT COOL :)
yeah well just enjoy what your into ive always enjoyed the mod and ska scene and everything to do with it even now just get on with your life and make the best of it weather your a punk.rocker.ted.rudeboy.mod.whatever
As a modinist I was never into the neanderthal violence I was far too sharp furthermore I love Rock,n, roll what the fuck is there to dislike about youth expression, in all its forms?
They had it so good then & didn't know it, working class youth, playing, Divide & Conquer, hyped up & manipulated by the Press, both groups, should have, could have got along or left each other alone, their anger should have been directed @ the discriminatory Class system that still exists in the UK, albeit in subtle tones, but is getting stronger again, personal freedoms are becoming a thing of the past! Compared to the controlled society we have here now, with economic manipulated misery!
As I understood, the Rockers were practically challenging the rest of the society, or am I wrong? From what I can see, the Rockers were the rebels and the Mods were everibody else. Soooo, what has changed since? Absolutely nothing. I was born in 1974, at least 15 years later so if I have to decide who is the coolest, my vote goes for the Rockers for their exquisite taste in motorbikes... and by bikes I mean Triumphs, naturally. I bet the Mods were drooling too looking at those babies...
if you read the book mods then you will fine that the media gave people money then said go and kick him over there then they would put the pics in the paper. am a mod
13 years old, no mods in my family. Picked up the mod way on my Own Accord. Get Mocked by chavs and hipster kids my age but i just say " Fuck It" at least i dress better than them, have better hair and can speak a basic vocabulary rather than all that "Innit Doe Blud" Malarky! Any Young Mods in Staffordshire area?!
Your beer is flat, whereas our beer is exported all around the world as our Pubs are. Go to any country in the world and you will find the GB pub selling GB beer, don't see the German drinking culture exported to many places. Gordon Banks (Goalkeeper) in 1966 and two world wars. Exported our language around the world. All western democracy has its origins in the Magna Carta. How about the industrial revolution, and the largest empire ever seen, whereas Germany has underperformed culturally.
I dunno look at that the rockers. Called themselves 'individuals' and 'doing my own thing' but all dressed the same, looked the same and were all part of the same tribe, No individualism there. The same thing could be said for the Mods, it's all tribal..... but Italian scooters are cooler.
Sorry dude, I am being bad mannered. I think we agree then, Precision Engineering is a very old art. Islam inherited the knowledge off of the eastern and western Roman empires, who inherited much from Greece, who inherited much from Egypt, which appeared out of nowhere and appeared at its peak of technical evolution, degenerating afterwards. The Egyptians say they inherited the technology from the pre-flood civilisation.
In my experience of growin' up int 60's Rockers were ALWAYS tops over the mods.A proper bike is always better than an italian foodmixer any day.Iwouldn't be seen dead ridin' an' 'airdryer.& mod music is crap!
A PUFF CHARIOT wunt even catch a Triumph never mind run over it.Worra joke,a Triumph'd suck a HAIRDRYER in through the air inlet an' spit it back out through it's exhaust!!
Mods were f'ing Punks???? What you talking about. Only a handful of Mods fought. Mods weren't into fighting. Posing, dancing, picking up chicks, yes. So don't go tarnishing everyone with the same brush. Otherwise, i'll have to come down and spank ya on the nose. Ha!
really i was a mod[or soulboy northern soul etc] we had rows all the time mid 70,s [mostly working class scene football hooligans door staff street fighters we posed but could scrap too] what planet you on north wales soul crew since 75...
wasn't this all about a bunch of shitty fashion designers instigating a bunch of rich kids to beat up on contemporaries who couldn't afford expensive clothes?
Rock 'n' roll was 'ere b4 mods were even an idea in some numbskull's 'ead! an' it still survives a lot stronger than modism.Teds are now worldwide.Y' don't get mods worldwide.I can't understand our lot when they are at the Ace cafe,mixin' wi' original mods as if nowt ever 'appened.I wunt mix wi' none of 'em !

Ice cream man

It's so funny how people in the 1960s listened to Elvis Presley and called themselves hardcore rockers. Seriously?
They had it so good then & didn't know it, working class youth, playing, Divide & Conquer, hyped up & manipulated by the Press, both groups, should have, could have got along or left each other alone, their anger should have been directed @ the discriminatory Class system that still exists in the UK, albeit in subtle tones, but is getting stronger again, personal freedoms are becoming a thing of the past!

Apparently mods were more violent than the rockers
wasn't this all about a bunch of shitty fashion designers instigating a bunch of rich kids to beat up on contemporaries who couldn't afford expensive clothes?
