Explaining 60s Mod Fashion & Subculture

[@Wow_gurl250]

I really enjoyed this video. Im a millennial that grew up in the late 90s. There was a resurgence of MOD fashion then. Keep up the cool videos.

[@EmmaRosaKatharina]

Glad you enjoyed it! I was actually thinking about making a video about all the resurgence of 1960s fashion. I feel like the first come back came in the 80s with all the bright colors and plastic jewelry but the 90s two had a lot of 60s inspired pieces. xx

[@smart_dog13]

Yeah, there was a big mod revival in L.A. in the 80s, weekends there would be a long row of scooters parked in front of the ON Club on Sunset Blvd. The ON Club hosted local ska bands, Prince Buster on the house p. a. Bit of local history most locals don't t know.

90s kid too. We called it Manchester music. British music became more well known and bands like Blur, Verve, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Cranberries, Oasis etc were popular and the mod clothes were a thing. The vintage shops and thrift stores were so much fun to go through back then!

[@sabri_yah]

Yes this is true I’m a millennial and I always loved the mod style in the 90s and who knew I’d still love it to this day

[@derekarnold3665]

I was a London Soho Mod from '64-66, It was an experience never to be forgotten. Saturday night at the The Last Chance and early Sunday morning at the Scene Club (temple of Mod). Certainly part of the experience was fuelled by amphetamines (blues) which helped keeping awake on a Saturday night/Sunday morning.

With the britpop scene in mid 90's britain, there was definately a resurgence of a type of mod style and attitude with clothes and hairstyles. A few of the bands of the era had mod influences and took certain elements of mod style in to how they looked and presented themselves, so being young at that time you wanted to look like the bands you were in to. I can remember a group of us walking down the street at the time with moptop hair and wearing fitted retro clothing , and hearing a chap say there's all these 60's looking people about everywhere!!. It was sort of a mixture of elements of mod and the football casual subculture look, at least for the male's anyway.🙋‍♂️

Thanks for making and sharing your video. I was part of "The Mod" subculture in London. I was a Mod who rode a motorcycle, because of my love and speed for them. However, I'd dressed as a Rocker when riding my motorcycle to travel to work, and just riding around London for pleasure. I'd dressed as a Mod when hanging out with other Mods {driving the Learner's Scooters - Vespas and Lambrettas}, and when nightclubbing.

[@maya-gur695]

Your jacket is the perfect mod jacket! I've been loving your deep dive videos.

[@EmmaRosaKatharina]

Oh thank you! It’s one of my favorite pieces in my collection. Thank you so much for the kind words & compliment, it means the world 💌

[@saulemaroussault6343]

This is my generation, baby ! I’m rewatching Bewitched (it was a comfort series when I was little) and seeing the fashion evolve as the years pass is fascinating. Some episodes focus on the trends of the time (often to criticise them) and it’s a great insight.

[@mrnobody1067]

My initials are still in the back wall of Hamleys Wardour Street since 1978 when I was a MOD and still am at heart . I lived on Carnaby Street lol great vid thanks ❤🇬🇧

[@Suite_annamite]

Born in 1953, *my mother* is very much a 60's mod in terms of her personal tastes and overall style: she basically *looks like France Gall but with black hair!*

[@andreapardo8441]

"This is my generation" 🇬🇧 So fascinating! Thank you for another installment of this series. ❤️ I’m learning so much!

[@EmmaRosaKatharina]

So happy to hear that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much dear 💌

[@walterfechter8080]

"Leaving Here" - The Birds and The Who (both versions). Paul Weller - "I'll die a Mod." Peggy Moffitt (RIP)

[@smart_dog13]

m m m my g g generation..... Yah, please, a vid on rockers! This is the best explanation of mod I've encountered, I've looked around... all that I could find out about was the guys' bum-freezer suits that modern jazz aficionados wore, and the scooters and music. Thanks!🥰

[@ginaferracini9375]

Cool video! Love how you talk about the 60s fashion and show the clips. 💛

[@judis6224]

You make it sound so interesting em,you really do your research 😊

[@EmmaRosaKatharina]

Oh thank you so much! I put a lot of work in these videos so I truly mean so much 💌

[@julia8078]

Wiedermal sehr cooles und interessantes Video😇 Da du ja (glaube ich) Deustche bist, hast du doch bestimmt schon von Uschi Obermeier und der Kommune 1 gehört oder? Sie wird ja auch in Keith Richards‘ Autobiographie sehr liebevoll erwähnt und deshalb frage ich mich wieso sie bei vielen Leuten im Internet (Insta usw.), die 60er und 70er Fashioncontent bringen so unbekannt ist. Ich finde Uschi ist auch eine große Modeikone und hatte ihren ganz eigenen Stil, was viel zu wenig gewürdigt wird🙈🙈🥰 Würde mich freuen wenn du sie erwähnst, falls du mal Videos zu einzelnen Fashionicons machst🥰

[@celebclips434]

Was this uploaded to the channel before? I felt like I seen this before. Also, nice jacket and would love to see more videos like this.

[@EmmaRosaKatharina]

No it wasn’t :) but I always record these videos in the same spot so that’s why it might be familiar. Also in the one that’s about general 60s fashion I’m talking about lot about the mods so that might be the reason too :)

[@marikkelaszlo3355]

I seriously thought you were Zoey Deschanel on the thumbnail at first!!

[@EmmaRosaKatharina]

Haha I get that a lot :)

[@karenhickey1131]

Loved this video Emma, so good! I’ve learned a lot from you over the years, but especially with your video’s on the different styles. You’ve helped me find the styles I identify with the most, Mod & Space Age…thank you so much for your amazing work and passion ❤😊

MOD was started in Hamburg it was originally the Post War Modernist Movement. It was started by German kids who were hanging out o the Reepabahn watching off duty US Canadian and British Musicians serving in Occupying Forces Europe starting in 45. This movement quickly ended up being the absolute centre of the new Rhythm n Blues British Music movement bringing the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Rory Storm and the Hurricanes Edwin Starr Geno Washington etc to Hamburg to play the clubs there. These German kids for the first time in history, had choices of what to do, wear, listen to and enjoy and live where before the War all of Europe was stuck in a 17th Century way of life where everyone was stuck under the thumb of the. monarchs of Europe etc. Eventually these Brit Bands who were exposed to the US and Canadian Musicians who were also serving in Europe post war, brought this idea back to England in the fifties where Tickets (Mod predecessors and Teddys) were now running the streets dressing in fine clothes that they would never have had access to before the War. These kids had at ages of 14 and 16, taken over the jobs that were previously only done by Adult men but with the majority of the Male population of Europe having been killed injured and maimed due to the 2nd World War, these youths were earning Money for the FIRST time in history at the age of 18 and 19 and they were now living in downtown London, going to all the Jazz Clubs to see the great US soul Blues and Rock n Roll musicians now coming over at high lace. These Brit kids eventually in 64, coin the Term Mod for Modernist due to their belief in they being the very pinnacle of modern style living and power. The Mod movement as we know it now would never have happened if it were not for this early Post War Modernist Movement. Finally these young working class kids needed transportation so they could get to and from., The Italian Scooter became the easiest, cheapest and most fashionable way to do this. Eventually, kids all over England Scotland, Ireland and Wales got tired of the same old London Mod Scene and a very select few started hanging around the US Air Bases waiting for US Soldiers and Canadian Soldiers coming over to serve bringing their records of which most were Blues Soul and rare music. This started the Northern Soul movement as London continued to over play the obvious number 1 hits from Stax and Motown, the Soulies wanted more and more un heard Soul music and B sides from these amazing singers and from the singers that never made the Top ten Radio list. To Omit this extremely Vital part and beginning of MOD is to completely ignore the True Origins of MOD Keep The Faith-from an expert on British Sub Culture

Cool video, and I love your coat! Very Mary Quant! ❤

[@raventoocute3006]

I really enjoyed the video. I really feel for you when it comes to the background noise the neighbors are creating. Just a note, but maybe go to a park and try to find a quiet place.

[@patriceromero3432]

Your video is smashing ! And I do love how you are dressed ! ❤

[@sleepychild1015]

I absolutely love your content❤❤❤

[@beingotherworlds6756]

I've just stumbled on your channel and I really enjoy your videos! Very informative and interesting. I was wondering: what era is that dark wooden cabinet to your left in the video? It looks art deco to me but I could be wrong!

[@2244ntho66]

Hi! great job on the video, but at 3:36 you are showing a picture of the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood/Los Angeles. Johnny Rivers had a residency there when it opened (January 1964) and recorded a live record during that time.

[@nvm9040]

The 60's offered so much in the fashion scene that represented the youth culture that was emerging through the Mods and the swinging 60's as a whole Glad when Britpop emerged in the 90's because the 60's came back into the culture through the music and fashion

[@user-mc5pl8js9h]

Emma, could you do a video on the popular 1960's Beatnik style? Please include more footage so it's like a real doco.

[@user-mc5pl8js9h]

Love it❤

[@peterscholes5864]

I was a mod before I knew from being a young boy my mother listened to soul music and rocking and roll

[@them3lster]

Anyone recognise the young man in the suit at 1.52? ...A very young Mark Feld a.k.a Marc Bolan❤

[@EmmaRosaKatharina]

Yes!! A little Easter egg for all Bolan Fans 💌

[@them3lster]

Happy Easter to all those celebrating - we had our celebrations last month.

[@hollybolly7073]

Danke für das Video! als Modette sind das meine Wurzeln 🎯 (bin u.a. in dem Buch SkinsModsTeds des Fotografen Oliver Sieber). Sehr lustig damals... Wir hatten viele Accessoires wie Schirme u.a. dabei und hatten Settings a la Blow Up im Sinn... Es sollten dann allerdings OneShot-Portraits frontal, ohne zu Lächeln! werden... Emma Peel, Modesty Blaise sind auch noch Ikonen Buchtipps: I'm One 21st century mods/Horst A. Friedrichs 🎯 Fahrradmods/Tobi Dahmen 🎯 Baby's in black/ the story of Astrid Kirchner and Stuart Sutcliffe/Arne Bellstorf

[@tudormiller887]

The only other British subculture that rivals the Mods are the Hard Mods (Skinheads) 👍🇬🇧

Oh dear god no. Reading an essay from a high school project..but to be fair I've heard worse.
