MOD: FROM BEBOP TO BRITPOP BRITAINS BIGGEST YOUTH MOVEMENT

Richard Weight tells the story of Britain’s biggest and most influential youth cult. Beginning in the Soho jazz scene of the 1950s, a uniquely British amalgam of American music and European fashions went on to reinvent itself through the decades, adopting new fashions and music - the Small Faces, the Who, the Kinks, the Jam - and making them its own. Mod has become the DNA of British youth culture, leaving its mark on glam and Northern Soul, punk and Two Tone, Britpop and rave.
