Most Mods these days dress like Suede heads from early 70ts

I’m a mod, an individual…just like all the mods 😂. Anyone dressing like this after 25 needs to grow up.

Sexy... All of it!

“God is in the detail” - Mies van der Rohe… get it right, saddo

The cinematography, editing, etc. Well executed. Hit this one out of the park. You captured the moment, the looks and lifestyle. The whole feeling. This video makes me want to get into the mod look. Well done.

Load of nonsense. I used to wear this crap for 20 years and it’s so square. Now it’s just jeans and t shirts and I’m glad for it. Pathetic scene. Narcissists like love island crap

Very poetic and a rejoice for the the old to accept the young a move forwards to rejoice in our history and move forwards as Mods have to. Thank you for this video

Weller is still grooving hope for mods everywhere.

I came to see PW but just got his voice instead!

Cool. Weller chatting modernism. Very fucking cool.

Where was this vid

Some of the older and or more hardcore mods may tear me a new one for this, but they can go ffffffffade away. As a Youth growing up in the middle of Oklahoma, Mod was always something that whether I was in my metalhead phase or my punk rock phase always had respect and admiration for, as I knew punk had so much to owe to the Mods. But as I’ve gotten older and gotten away from wearing denim and leather and studs in chains, Mod culture and the whole idea of modernism seemed to click with me more and more, as I noticed how awesomely alien the look the sound in the ideal for living was in the middle of flyover America where the country and cowboy culture rules all. Mod felt like something was following as a British descendent that was a British subculture that had no some context or overtones of colonization and imperialism and as a Native American of the Mvskoke tribe, those are themes prevalent in so much European art forms that is a turn off to our people. But Mod was different and is different. The other crucial thing about mod that I will give immense credit for in my personal growth was that all the R&B and soul in Motown/Tamla I had no interest in as a headbanging teenager I suddenly went back to and realized that One of the most amazing fundamentals of mod culture that sticks out above all other European and American subcultures is that even if you don’t adopt the clothes or the hairstyles or the complete package, mod establishes an appreciation for the music, art, and culture of Black people, and to go with the whole modernist thing and made me want to listen to current R&B and current music in the black community worth looking for as well as all the greats that the mods looked up to. So even if I’m the only one wearing a green parka over my suit for hundreds or thousands of miles, I will always try to carry on what date so I can of the Mod way. BUT… I cannot do the checkered short sleeve button ups, Sunday school teachers wear those kind of shirts over here😭🤣

Absolute BS, I was there and they didn't look like that

Choon in nxt week tae see how jack gets oan but ay

Mod for it 😉

I'm curious about the garments and outfits that 1960s Rockers wore, but there isn't really any information about it. Dies anyone know of any resources or videos about how British Rockers dressed during the 60s?

Paul Weller 1980s period was very stylish.

Careful dancing- your shoe lace is untied…

Need a bigger wardrobe

Alas, this England doesn't exist anymore.

I recognise a few faces here , new and old

It's trite to take a boring saying and apply it to everything!

"CLEAN LIVING UNDER DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES." MOD is not about who has the most expensive clothes. Mod is about who insists on being sharp, short hair, DJ or musician of great music, and continuing to be MODERN. For too many geezers, it's a nostalgia cult. Weller said in the 90s that techno would be the "new Mod music" and his albums like "Fat Pop" continue to grow. The geezers who drink pint after pint and try to get away with a Fred Perry polo & 50" waist Levi's still want to hear nothing but The Jam.
It's not just about what you're into, but what you're not.

Prepare for a life spent learning how to look down on people who have the sartorial details wrong. Prepare for elitism and snobbery. Get ready to pretend to understand French independent cinema and enjoy obscure jazz and garage music. Prepare to embrace narcissism as though it is a mark of pride. Mod is empty and the people who get pulled into it see that eventually. It's what people who don't believe in themselves subscribe to.

And then there was bowling shoes...

I think weve lost something from working class street style which was all about improvising due to limited clothing budgets. Now it seems to be get the label and your good to go. Its so unimaginative.

It's a bit sad isn't it? The originals walked it and talked it. The subsequent generations followed like sheep. They refined the look to how they think it was or should have been. The past is great looking through Rose tinted glasses, the whole point of modernism (clue in the title ) is to keep up with current trends. Not to hark back to what yer granny/grandad were wearing 50+ yrs ago. Gotta admit though, they did look sharp...

44 yrs now. It’s the only way to be. Away from the numbers!

tops !!

Just came across this. Nice, real nice.
Second generation mod. It's amazing how much of it stays with you throughout your life.

Once a mod always a mod. I became a mod in 1979 aged 16.. I am now 60 and still a mod.. And proud

Seems like its all nostalgia except to the first. If they never aged they would be wearing the newest fashions and sporting the best new bikes and sounds. I always loved the look but it now seems like a costume.

Sad people who don't have the courage to live in the present, and would prefer to hide in the past.

Anyone got opinions on which is the best jacket?? For mods always

thank goodness he decided to wear socks again

Lets all look like estate agents 😂

What are the venues in this, other than Bar Itslia ?

Always good to see the mods still about being one myself I'm happy people are still a part of the mod subculture.

Outside a Hollywood venue late 90’s in a long line to see Pulp, 2 long scraggly hair guys, started bitching at people in line in thick English accents “AINT no quadraphonia BUNCHA WANKAS!” So classic. Peoole in general have never looked worse. Been like that a long time. Mod is a nuanced whisper thing,, everyone shouting with their “looks” today. It’s obnoxious and juvenile and many look old enough to have adult kids themselves.

....and woe to them who dare transgress....

Vespa scooter, stylish italian clothes & parka, modsound - clean life in mod

Che schifo di moda esiste oggi importata dalla musica rap Qi mods 🇮🇹🛵🇬🇧

Yeah 🧿

"God is in the details" is a quote by American Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe … the only thing I would change.

Everything is fake now - even the Mods. I remember the late 1970s Mod Revival... that was the last gasp of true Mod culture.

Very fitting the Masonic one eye for the Devil.

This is the real english style!
