What a great interview.
An attitude within an evolving lifestyle
Big up Eddie for this. That's why it's called 'MODERNISM'
It was never ever called modernism , an internet fiction , mod only stood for modern (fashionable) and A MOD was just a term the media used to describe juvenile delinquents , me being one of them.If one wants to be accurate,we never called ourselves mods,it was others. People who designed houses like Gropius were Modernists because of their modern minimalist design methods such as Deoo,Unlikely the modernists of the early to mid 20th century wore Fred Perry's and got arrested for rucking at Brighton like we did in the 60's haha.
Reg Webster Phew, thanks for confirming the rules! Youth cultures are free and choose to morph with or without the permission of the originators, that's the beauty of them. The idea of sound and vision changing peoples perceptions and outlooks is all that matters.
He's not talking about how it was reproduced after somebody watched Quad and that other pretender Weller,he's telling everyone what it was all about in the 60's.We had no rules,that was something invented by people who thought they could be the same as us if they bought a book.Just typical 80's opportunism , the decade of poor replication,Showaddywaddy Teds , Specials rude boys and Weller comedians.
Reg Webster I find him very positive, he's describing how diverse, far reaching and enduring Mod in general is. I think this can only ever be a good thing. I know loads of grumpy old men that can't stand Piller/Weller/Secret Affair etc. and that's up to them. I don't think Piller is professing to have been in London in the 50's right when it happened but I do feel he or anyone with a connection to it is entitled to ruminate about what Mod is. I love that it means something slightly different to everyone. Me and my dad always talk about all things Mod when we catch up, we disagree about certain things but essentially our bond is an appreciation of music of a certain aesthetic (some of which he introduced me to when I was younger), some 'mod' and some not in both of our opinions! I can't think of other youth movements so endearing. For that reason alone I'm happy to listen to anyone's opinion on what it is. Stay hip and thanks for the discourse
No such thing as a mod til the press kicked off after the riots in 64 , the term was never used unless you want to include some obscure modern jazz reference , which had absolutely nothing to do with teenagers in 64.Trying to tie people like Cliff and the other quiffers to us is ridiculous , may as well say we all started after the war in razor gangs.It was never a movement,a movement has a motive , being in a gang , being anti fashion and authority is just a stage in a certain kind of kids persona.Teds,Razor Gangs,Rockers were very much in the same ilk,just a different time and place as well as outlook. It's typical of a generation that could only emulate to try and make out it was about clothes and music,it wasn't and anyone who says it was is a fake , there's plenty of those on the internet. The term 'Sawdust Caesars' sums it all up , plus the quantity of vids and pics that are available from the media at the time, i f I thought that in 50 years time they'd have said we we were some kind of cool fashionable Continental jazz loving pioneers like those Uni gimpies , then I would've been something else. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing , as far as this stuff goes it's more like an epidemic,people hero worshiping people who weren't there and the people that were would laugh at anyone who tried to worship them. Teenage working class rebellion is not a movement and as far as grumpy old men are concerned...I was an angry young man , now I'm an old one.
A very broad church unlike the Labour party....
haha 'a progressive modernist forward thinking movement' , I thought we were just trying to pull birds, have the odd rumble and a good laugh on our scooters that we bought ourselves because we were just working class kids who didn't know our place !!!! When the shit starts spreading everyone seems to get some haha , I never heard so much as this in one vid.
len peters That’s cause you weren’t a mod. You were just following the crowd
Seb I concur You either get it or you don't without trying to sound to pedantic!
Load of old bollox mate , plus it was never a movement , if you were there at the time you would've known that !
but he isn't talking about the early 80's replicated attempt by pop groups and kiddies in parka's , he's talking about something he never experienced,he's just repeating stories from a few trying to make a name for themselves. Just convenient history yet again and somebody living off the proceeds.
Reg Webster I completely agree. The whole revival scene and anything after is just fancy dress. The real mods were early 60s. The bbc panarama documentary shows tho that they were aware of the movement. However they just see it as temporary. One kid even says I’ll be done with this in a few years when I get married and settle down. I won’t have time for it.
Seb Would that have been around circa 58?
@@jonathanhadley2555 No the short documentary was around 63.
Reg, I often read your comments on my things and I just want to get one thing straight. We aren't like you. We never pretended to be like you. We were people that, at the age of 15, stole whatever we thought you might have done and reinvented it for ourselves. personally I couldn't give a fuck if I know nothing but just a couple of points. My dad was a mod in 1959. My mum ran the Small Fan Club. I became a mod in 1979 by wearing a parka and a target T Shirt. Finally, I have a much much better record collection of soul, jazz, R&B and beat than you can ever dream of BUT the important thing is always to remember that Mod is whatever you want it to be. Personally i don't think an old fella going on about how shit people like me are is particularly interesting and I suggest that you get a life and start to live a little. Apparently there's a Scene reunion coming up. Probably not good enough for you though? All I think of when I see a 16 year old mod is - go on son, enjoy yourself - because that's all we ever did. If you don't like it, so what? Good luck.
