	Mods and Rockers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mods and the Rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the early 1960s.
		Rockers, wearing leather jackets and riding heavy motorcycles, poured scorn on the mods, who wore suits and rode scooters.
		In the comic, the Mods were represented by the "Originals," who rode hovering scooters, while the Rockers were represented by the "Dirt," who rode hovering motorcycles (Gibbons, incidentally, was a Mod, perhaps leading to the less than flattering name given to the Rocker analogues).

	Mods & Rockers - Nostalgia Central
		Mods were the smarter of the two and wore sharp lightweight suits or smart jackets over polo necks or Fred Perry shirts, and donned US Army Parkas to ride their Vespa and Lambretta scooters to a club to dance to fl Soul music.
		The Mods were originally an exclusive group of fashion-conscious men, but by 1963 the term 'Mod' had taken on a much looser meaning and could be applied to most tailored youth fashions of the period.
		Every Saturday night the Mods and the Rockers would dress themselves with great care, groom their hair so that not a strand was out of place, go out on the town and beat the shit out of each other.

	Situationist International Online
		The mods and rockers began attracting attention in 1963; the mods as a developing group (they were actually beginning as early as 1962), the rockers as a yet-unchristened continuation of earlier strains, the teds and, more particularly, the ton-ups (the two terms are now used synonymously).
		Rockers were barely a group as such; they were put together by the mods as 'them' figures, hot, breathy, archaic squares to the mods' ice-cold, up-to-the-second hipsters.
		The leaders of mod fashion were changing and re-fashioning clothes overnight to keep up with each other; the situation became so desperate towards the end of the year that the reigning 'faces' simply refused to allow new faces to take over.

	Mods & Rockers
		Brake explains why the mods existed by writing "for this group there was an attempt to fill a dreary life with the memories of hedonistic consumption during the leisure hours...the insignificance of the work day was made up for in the glamour and fantasy of night life." (Brake, p.75).
		Compared to their opposites, the Mods, the Rockers were usually in "more routinized unskilled work;" (Brake, p.76) and were "bad-boys against the the Mod's clean boy image.
		Without the publicity that was given to the initial clashes with the Mods, their weakness would have become more apparent and they would have metamorphosed into another variant of the tougher tradition...in a different way, the reaction also kept the Mods going.

	The Space Age
		The rockers’ Technician, Gillian, upset that the Doctor has taken over her laboratory, ignores his warnings out of spite, and is badly burned when she tries to take apart the ray gun and shorts out its power pack.

		The mods plan to attack the rockers’ bar with their new ray guns, and Fitz is disappointed to see that Deborah and Vince are participating in the rumble as enthusiastically as the rest.

		The ballet is choreographed to a score adroitly arranged by Ian Macpherson from songs written by three of the Beatles, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison.
		'Mods and Rockers' is bound to be compared with 'West Side Story', if only because its wafer-thin theme also involves two rival gangs, but to press this comparison is to miss the point.
		He threads them onto the slender narrative of a Mod girl being carried off, Galahad-style, by a Rocker on his motor-bike, and the perhaps surprising result is a ballet of enormous vitality, and one, typical for Darrell, full of human observation".

		Nevertheless, there are probably many epiphenomena of perception--analogous to chords and octaves, rhyme and rhythm, hue and saturation, complementarity (of colors and also flavors, as in Chinese cuisine), stereo and other 3D effects, endlessly, as well as whole senses--that we are missing because of our sensory limitations.
		Perhaps we can call these ordinary humans Antique Rockers and the automutants the Functional Mods ("Antique Rockers" because their bodies will be creaking furniture and they will inherit this rock long after we Functional Mods have left).
		As with their namesakes, as many people ridicule cosmetic mods today, perhaps the Rockers will reject the Mods as effete or alien.

	SN 4880 -Folk Devils and Moral Panics : the Creation of the Mods and Rockers, 1964-1967
		The focus of this study was on the genesis and development of the moral panic and social typing associated with the 1960s phenomenon of Mods and Rockers.
		It looked at the ways in which their deviant behaviour was perceived and conceptualised; whether there was a unitary or a divergent set of images, the modes through which these images were transmitted and the ways in which agents of social control reacted.
		Behavioural questions, such as the emergence of the Mods and Rockers' particular styles, were explored but the primary concern was in the variable of societal reaction to this manifestation of youth culture.
