I remember reading an article from a website many years ago, which featured an ex mod and ex rocker talking about those times. They also mentioned that there were occasions, especially at the seaside resorts, where reporters would pay them to stage a fight, so it would give the newspapers a story. Depending on the scale of the staged fight, the payment for the mods and rockers could range from giving them a really good night out, to a down payment for a new scooter or motor bike.
😂 That's so interesting!
They said that about my own, the Ted's, so I don't know how true that is. The Ted's had one excuse, WW2 psychosis, their world being destroyed in childhood by war 9:-Y
brilliant we grew up love it im still mod and im 66 yrs old great documentary absolutely loved it and put so elegantly
Great! Happy to hear from you 😊!!
Hi there Amanda I have been a mod from 1977 when I saw the jam on top of the pops and from then on I was fascinated by finding out everything that I could about mods in the sixties and have loved it ever since I really enjoyed your video and hope to see more from you thanks and keep it up darling xx
That's so cool! Happy you liked the video 😊!

Hey Amanda, sorry to tell you but, you are wrong on at least 2 statements on your video: The Rockers were not an evolution of the Teddy Boys from the 50s, the Rockers were an evolution of the Ton-Up Boys from the 50s. 2nd: the term "rocker" was a term hurled at the ton-up boys by the Mods because they listened to 50s Rock-n-Roll music and not the music the Mods listened to.
Brilliant 😊 Thank you for sharing...
@@amandajaynewoodhall I owe you an apology, my original message was quite terse and a bit rude, there was no reason for me to come at you that hard. I do apologize.
Great video, youre beautiful Amanda 😍❤
Bless you 😊 Happy you liked it!
What a charming young lady.
Thank you for your kindness 🖤
I'm 61 years old (???) born in 1962 and love the 50's specially the music bikes and cars. They had a Little more style than the 60's. But now it's the 2000's and nowadays youngsters miss everything the elderly youth had then.😂😂😂
That's true 😊!
@@amandajaynewoodhall watch the 70's movie "Quadrophenia". I have it in my house while I'm a Rocker. It's hilarius.
@@henrysonnemann2597 Yes!!! Good shout 👍
@@amandajaynewoodhall I know. I was 16 when I saw it for the first time. One good sight on what happend with the youngsters (teenagers) from the 60's.
@@henrysonnemann2597 It's fascinating!
I always thought we got our look from the early modern jazz scene, and Italian, Jewish youth who worked in the rag trade .
Thank you for adding that! 🖤 Really interesting
@@amandajaynewoodhall theres more to the mod scene than scooters parkas and Brighton
@@CarlJones-in8pm I'm sure! 😊
@@amandajaynewoodhall you looked into the scene a little more you would see the early mods took the tear boy jacket kept the box shape shorten the length to create a bum freezer and narrowed the lapels and keeping the straight almost drainpipe trouser, female MODS were masculine Tom boyish in style little make up short boyish hairs cuts
@@CarlJones-in8pm Hopefully that will be helpful to somebody looking for more details... Appreciated!
Yes, started with the Teddy Boys, the Godfathers of Todays "Hoodies""Chavs" and "Scallys".
I like that! 👏😊
Still no damn turtles :(🐢🐢🐢
