Homonym: Mod (Modern)
"Mod" refers to a subculture that emerged in the United Kingdom during the late 1950s and 1960s. It is characterized by a distinctive style that includes tailored suits, stylish haircuts, and a love for music genres like jazz, R&B, and British rock. Mods often rode scooters, particularly Vespas and Lambrettas, and were known for their vibrant social scene, which included clubs and dance halls.
The Mod movement also influenced fashion and art, leading to a broader cultural impact. The style was marked by bold colors, geometric patterns, and a focus on modernity. Over the years, the Mod aesthetic has been revived and adapted in various forms, influencing later subcultures and fashion trends.
