60's: Mods vs. Rockers



Rockers







Mods



Brawl...


Before the hippies and the skinheads there were
two other conflicting subcultures; the Mods and the Rockers.

On the one end you have the Mods on their scooters;
sleek, sophisticated chic, with a little individualistic "cool",
deemed snobbish (probably because of their Italian threads),
all about the music (jazz, R&B, ska, soul) and fashion.

On the other end you have the Rockers on their motorcycles;
 edgy, scruffy, outcasts, with a sense of angst,
who were all about the rock 'n roll and could care less about
sporting suits and jiving in nightclubs.

Posh or not, they're both bad ass!
