Mod is a gangster-inspired high-fashion punk movement that first rose in the 1970s and 1980s.
Are you sure about this? I associate “mod” with the late ’50s and early ’60s — as in “mods vs. rockers,” the early Who, Vespa scooters, ska and blues…
Crud, no, you’re right. Sorry, I had a brain event there. It’s hardly like 1960s mod is that easy to miss, either. There was a mod revival, though, in the 1970s, that WAS tied into punk subculture. That’s the one I was thinking of.
