Mod revival refers to a cultural movement that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, inspired by the original Mod subculture of the 1960s. It was characterized by a renewed interest in British fashion, music, and lifestyle, emphasizing sharp suits, scooters, and a love for R&B and British Invasion bands. Key bands of the mod revival included The Jam, The Specials, and The Who, who blended elements of punk rock with the classic mod sound. This movement not only influenced music but also impacted fashion, leading to a resurgence of vintage styles and a focus on modernist aesthetics.
