Taken at the How Weird Festival last May of this year. Going back and revisiting old files which brought me to these little guys sprinkled around the festival grounds. Fore ever watching with the hindu dancing shiva. These guys reminded of The Mods of the late 1950's-60's. The History of Mod Mod is one of the social subculture that originated from London, England in the late 1950s. The term mod derives from modernist / modern. In the 1950s, the term Mod used to describe modern jazz musicians and fans (because of modern jazz is a mainstream music at 1950s). The Subculture grew in a difficult economic condition, but The Mods still need to maintain their perfection of personal style and fashion. The youths of the early 1960s were one of the first generations that did not have to contribute their money from after-school jobs to the family finances. As mod teens and young adults began using their disposable income to buy stylish clothes. Sometimes people call them "fashion-obsessed and hedonistic cult of the hyper-cool" or "swinging London". Many Mods used a scooters for transportation, usually Vespas or Lambrettas. Scooters had provided inexpensive transportation for decades before the development of the mod subculture, but the mods stood out in the way that they treated the vehicle as a fashion accessory. They are obsessed with fashion, pop music, including African American soul, Jamaican ska, and British beat music and R&B, and Italian Motor Scooters.
