Mod or Modern music
developed in London, England in the late 1950s to
mid 1960s. As much a lifestyle as a musical style mods sported short bobbed
haircuts and distinctive clothes. Mods were inspired by American
r&b,
soul, Jamaican ska, and bluebeat combined with hard rock influences like the The
Who and Small Faces.
Mods frequented all night
dance clubs listening to early bands like the Beatles who's r&b influences had
not yet inspired the
British Invasion. Mods who favored high fashion
often clashed with conventional rock fans known as rockers who wore T-shirts and leather
in violent. They fought in violent brawls and confrontations inspiring the novel
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess featuring a mod from the future. Followers of the genres were egged on by artists who fed into the conflict by
releasing records praising one style and disparaging another.
Pete Townshend wrote
and scored Quadrophenia which was a groundbreaking film that helped solidify the
genre. Mod experienced a short lived
revival during the late 1970s and also during the
grunge period when bands
like Pearl Jam and others expressed an interest in the band.
