The favored music of Mods is varied rather widely but, for the most part, shares the characteristic of being danceable.
The clothing has a vintage, well-taylored, and peacockish look, favoring bright patterns, plenty of color, brands like Ben Sherman and Fred Perry, and slim-cut, three button suits (preferrably Italian) in the style of the sixties. Mod is a dandified youth subculture that developed and was strongest in the 1960's, but has experienced many reincarnations since then and is still very much in existance.Īs with many subcultures, the defining characteristics are clothing and music, both of which become an obsession for Mods.
