"Mods"This subculture, start in London, in the year of 1958, beggining of the 60's, had beginning in teenagers with familiar connections, connected with the commerce of textiles.
The first "mods" were generally middle class, obsessed with trends in fashion and music styles, such as modern jazz, rhythm and blues. The urban social life was driven in part by amphetamine. They were influenced by American rock and roll, wore costumes and hairstyles fashions.
Generally, met in London bars as "Goldhawk" and "Mark Club", displaying their clothes and the dance steps. Scooters typically used as a means of transport, usually the marks Lambretta or Vespa, one of the main reasons is that public transport closed relatively early, and scooters were cheaper than cars.
