Mod is a British youth subculture of the early to mid-1960s and was briefly revived in later decades. Focused on music and fashion the subculture has its roots in a small group of London-based stylish young men in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz.Significant elements of the mod subculture include fashion (often tailor-made suits); music (including soul ska and R&B); and motor scooters (usually Lambretta or Vespa).
