Which would you have been? :spin2:

From Le Wiki:

Quote:

The Mods and Rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the early-mid 1960s.

Gangs of mods and rockers fighting in 1964 sparked a moral panic about British youths, and the two groups were seen as folk devils. The rockers adopted a macho biker gang image, wearing clothes such as black leather jackets. The mods adopted a pose of scooter-driving sophistication, wearing suits and other cleancut outfits. By late 1966, the two subcultures had faded from public view and media attention turned to two new emerging youth subcultures — the hippies and the skinheads.

Musically, there was not much common ground. Rockers listened to 1950s rock and roll, mostly by white American artists such as Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran. Mods generally favoured 1960s rhythm and blues, soul and ska by black American and Jamaican musicians, as well as British R&B/beat groups such as The Who, The Small Faces and The Yardbirds.

Mod for me. Loved the look.

rocker. i prefer the style of music and i practically live in my leather jacket LOL.

Probably a mod

No way could I pull of gelled back hair and leather jackets lol

Rocker, but I like the mods music more.

Both riddiculous.

Wheres the luv for the New Romantics? Hairspray and leather pants don't come for free, you know.

I think i'd have been a rocker but idk lol:P

Mocker

I love the 60's singles released in the mod phase
Soul music really was great

I love rock always have done

Stacey voted Mod. I bet it's because shes just big into the whole Mod culture, and it has nothing at all to do with the fact that she has this chavvy twelve year olds phobia of 'moshers'.

Now we talking.

I remember when I was about 11 or 12 I was into The Specials, Selecter, The Beat etc, I had a fishtail parka with a union jack on the back and loads of patches of groups and badges with the black and white two tone, It was far too big for me and nearly came down to my ankles! So I will have to go with mod.

Rocker. Love 50's rock n' roll. The Mods looked better, but what a bunch of pansies.

I chose Mod but both have aspects which appeal to me.
