Not another Uni dissertation on mod - is there anything left to say? And
unfortunately answer is both yes & no - I mean the debate on whether various
later movements are 'the mods of today' goes on, with no answer, plus the
fact that mod and the changes of the 60s came along first changed everything
after.
I guess it was inevitable that something would have happened in the early
60s, just due to sheer numbers of kids with money for first time ever (in
the UK), but it wasn't neccesarily mod (if you want a comparison for your
essay, you could compare to 50s America where the teen boom came much
earlier). Also, it certainly couldn't have happened much earlier in the
K - the nearest comparison would be the 30s fast set / flappers / etc, but
they were all very rich to start with.
