Talk:Mod (subculture)

message: The lead says that beat music (I assume this means Merseybeat and variations), was a music style associated with the mods. I am not a mod expert, so I hadn't known that. Soul, ska and R&B, I was aware of, but not Merseybeat. So I looked in the article for more information, and there is none. The only other mention of "beat music" is in relation to the Beatles: "Although the Beatles dressed "mod" in their early years, their beat music was not popular among mods, who tended to prefer British R&B based bands." 
The statement in the article that mods preferred R&B to Merseybeat style music is closer to my casual understanding. I did do a quick search for "beat" and "mod", but nothing significant came up. If the mods were associated with Merseybeat or any other form of "beat" music, it might be helpful to explain this in the lead with appropriate sources, or remove the mention of beat music from the lead. 
And it might be helpful to identify what "beat music" is. Is it meant to mean Merseybeat? SilkTork ✔Tea time 18:29, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a case of the lead not matching the main body. I added most of the music section and my reading clearly indicates that Beat music was not popular among early mods, in fact rather despised. The easiest way to fix this is probably just to take it out of the lead.--SabreBD (talk) 18:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Beat music

message: The statement just added about the Maryland band The Modd (in revival section) may have to be removed.  It is completely usourced. There is no Wiki article for this band.  I can find nothing about them on the internet.  I'm sure they are a good band, but we have to know more about them in order for them to be included here.  I went ahead and made grammatical corrections in the statement about them, but once again, it will have to be removed if someone cannot come up with credible references.

thread_title:  Statement about band The Modd may have to be romoved 

message: My hazy recollections of these "cultures" are this.  The mods were middle class kids still living at home and attending university, or advanced cooking classes like Robin Tripp. Scooters did not require parking permits at these institutions. Rockers rode big bikes, Trumpies and the like, as they'd been working in scrap metal yards since age 12, and had constructed the bikes from junk parts. Skinheads rode scooters, usually Honda 90s by then, in the 1970s for a different reason. Some gangs used scooters to ride through traffic jams banging immobile cars with sledge hammers. The said cars were being driven by ex-mods taking their kids to school.27.33.81.127 (talk) 08:51, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Hi, i dont mean to bother or be intrusive but i feel the small scale continuation from the 90s - 2010s should probably be covered. 
Alongside this there has been a large online presence of mod fashion from around 2020 but it is very hard to get decent sources? I think this should be mentioned in the wiki page but im new to editing and cant do it justice really. Thankyou - i have a sort of drafted paragraph if it helps anyone start Brit1115 (talk) 21:11, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Online prescence 

message: I don't have time to write this paragraph but I just watched an interesting show (Music Box) in which Nik Cohn cites the mods as a large influence on his article Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night which was turned into Saturday Night Fever. It would make a good paragraph and interesting reference. 2601:482:4200:3310:47:D051:B520:21FC (talk) 04:50, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
