Mod, from the word modernist, is a subculture that began in late 1950s London and spread throughout Great Britain into the 1970s, eventually influencing fashions and trends in other countries. It continues today on a smaller scale, thanks to several revivals, the largest being in California in the 1980s. Focused on music and fashion, the subculture has its roots in a small group of stylish London-based young men and women in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz. During the early to mid 1960s certain elements of the mod scene became engaged in well-publicised clashes with members of a rival subculture, the rockers. The conflict between mods and rockers led sociologist Stanley Cohen to coin the term “moral panic” in his studies. By 1965 conflicts between mods and rockers began to subside as mods increasingly gravitated towards pop art and psychedelia, reinventing themselves into what is generally considered an alternate subculture separate from early jazz and associated more with experimental popular music. London became synonymous with fashion, music, and pop culture in those years, a period often referred to as “Swinging London.” During that time, mod fashions spread to other countries. Mod was then viewed less as an isolated subculture, but as emblematic of the larger youth culture of the era, leading to musicals, films, and theatrical pieces being written about and by those within the movement. As mod became more cosmopolitan during the “Swinging London” period and eventually evolved into the precursor to disco, some working-class “street mods” splintered off, forming other groups such as the skinheads, which is generally denoted as the official collapse of the original meaning of the term. In the late 1970s there was a mod revival in Britain, which attempted to replicate the “scooter” period look and styles of the early to mid 1960s. It was followed by a similar mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in southern California. The latest tangible revival of the movement was in the late 1990s, due in part to the success of the Austin Powers film franchise and its portrayal of the original time period.
