Mods were a subculture that originated in London in the late 1950s and peaked in the early-to-mid 1960s. They were known for riding scooters, wearing tailored suits and parkas, and listening to ska music. Mods had a sophisticated style and often took pills, while their rivals the Rockers had a tough, biker gang image wearing leather jackets. Conflicts between the Mods and Rockers in 1964 sparked moral panic about British youth, though both subcultures faded from view by 1966 as new groups like hippies and skinheads emerged.

The rockers of the 1960s were motorcyclists who wore black leather jackets and were one of two conflicting youth groups of the time, opposing the Mods who rode scooters and wore suits. Fights in 1964 between the Rockers and Mods caused moral panic and they were seen as 'folk devils'. By the late 1960s, the groups had faded from attention and were replaced by Hippies and Skinheads.

Punk originated in the 1970s as a form of hard-driving rock 'n' roll characterized by harsh lyrics attacking conventional society and popular culture. It evolved from genres like garage rock and protopunk. Punk bands created fast, hard-edged music with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY ethic with many bands self-producing recordings. It grew as a backlash to the hippie movement of the 1960s, rejecting its "peace and love" image. Punk fashion included mohawks, piercings, and converting unusual items into clothing.London in the 1950’s

The mod subculture originated in London in the late 1950s among young men who listened to modern jazz music. It focused on fashionable tailored suits, music genres like soul, ska, and R&B, and riding motor scooters. British teenagers in the 1960s rejected the dull and repressed culture of the 1950s and created their own subculture centered around being cool, sharp, and modern. While newspapers portrayed mods as having a leisurely club-going lifestyle, most mods actually worked semi-skilled jobs with limited free time and income to spend on clubs and fashion.fashion types

- 3. MODS Mod (from modernist) is a subculture that originated in London, England in the late 1950s and peaked in the early-to-mid 1960s. Mods were scene riding scooters such as Vesper's, they wore parker jackets and listened to ska music typically. Other things associated were pill popping with purple hearts and they tended to like beanies.
- 4. • Significant elements of the mod subculture include: fashion (often tailor-made suits); pop music, including African American soul, Jamaican ska, and British beat music and R&B; and Italian motor scooters. • Male mods adopted a smooth, sophisticated look that emphasised tailor-made Italian suits (sometimes white) with narrow lapels, mohair clothes, thin ties, button-down collar shirts, wool or cashmere jumpers (crewneck or V-neck), pointed-toe leather shoes that were nicknamed winklepickers, as well as Chelsea or "Beatle" boots, Tassel Loafers,Clarks' Desert Boots even Bowling shoes, and hairstyles that imitated the look of the French Nouvelle Vague cinema actors of the era, such as Jean-Paul Belmondo.
- 5. The conflict • The Mods and Rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the early-mid 1960s. Gangs of mods and rockers fighting in 1964 sparked a moral panic about British youths, and the two groups were seen as folk devils. • The rockers adopted a macho biker gang image, wearing clothes such as black leather jackets. • The mods adopted a pose of scooter-driving sophistication, wearing suits and other cleancut outfits. By late 1966, the two subcultures had faded from public view and media attention turned to two new emerging youth subcultures — the hippies and the skinheads. • Rockers, who wore leather jackets and rode heavy motorcycles, poured scorn on the mods, who often wore suits and rode scooters. The rockers considered mods to be weedy, effeminate snobs, and mods saw rockers as out of touch, oafish and grubby. • Mod or Rocker - 'You had to be one or the other ' • The Mods had designer suits, Italian scooters and The Who. Rockers had leathers, motorbikes and Elvis. • For a few years in the early 1960s, the two groups represented a sharp division in British youth culture. • Their rivalry often spilled over into violence, and the 1964 holiday weekend clashes in resort towns on the south coast terrorised local residents and outraged much of the nation. • But soon after the seaside riots of 1964, this volatile split in British teen life faded away. • Musically, there was not much common ground. Rockers listened to 1950s rock and roll, mostly by white American artists such as Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran.
