Quadrophenia

A film any self-respecting man or women should have seen by the age of 14. I dusted off my VHS version the other night to revitalize my love for British youth culture and impacts its had across the years.


Mods:

"Mod (originally modernist, sometimes capitalised) is a subculture that originated in London in the late 1950s and peaked in the early to mid 1960s. Significant elements of the mod lifestyle included music, such as African American soul, Jamaican ska, and British beat music and R&B; fashion (often tailor-made suits); dancing and motor scooters."


Rockers:

"Rockers are members of a subculture that started in the United Kingdom in the 1960s among motorcycle riding youths. Rockers in the 1960s were commonly referred to as greasers or grease as an insult by mods and skinheads."

Either group tickle your taste buds more than the other? Do you think these groups are comparable to the youth subcultures we see today in London?
