Mod Style originated in London, during the 1950s & 60s. A mixture of British scooter culture, African American soul, Jamaican ska, British beat music, and French/Italian fashion. Mod is an easily identifiable and often mimicked fashion.
Mods used motorscooters, such as the Vespa, for transportation throughout Britain. The scooter rally and hangouts cemented the Mod in British popular culture and many still view the two as one-in-the-same. Fights with the Rockers, who the Mods considered as a going-no-where and out of date crowd, produced a view that Mods were violent scooter riding youths.
