The mod subculture began with a few cliques of trendy teenage boys in London, England in the late 1950s, but was at its most popular during the early 1960s. Mods were obsessed with new fashions such as slim-cut suits; and music styles such as modern jazz, rhythm and blues, soul, ska, and some beat music. Many of them rode scooters. The mod and rude boy cultures both influenced the skinhead subculture of the late 1960s. The skinheads were a harder, more working class version of mods who wore basic clean-cut clothing styles and favoured ska, rocksteady, soul and early reggae music. .. At the beginning of the 1980s, some of the followers of punk rock became bored[original research?] with it and wanted to make it more stylish and introduce elements of glam. By 1981, this trend resulted in the development of the New Romantics, a group whose preferred music was synthesiser electropop. New Romantics tended to be slightly campy and fey, and visually there was an androgynous vibe to the subculture,[citation needed] regardless of the individual's sexual orientation. Clothing styles demonstrated a return to the freak scene's roleplay of fashions from previous eras or imagined future ones in order to use fashion to create a time warp.[citation needed] According to the music press at the time,[not specific enough to verify] the New Romantics identified themselves using a number of alternative terms including "Futurists" and "the cult with no name." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 mins (2015-07-14 08:50:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "La «culture populaire» à l'épreuve des débats sociologiques http://documents.irevues.inist.fr/.../HERMES_2005_42_60.... by D PASQUIER - 2005 - Cited by 4 - Related articles Le culte de la «culture populaire» n'est, bien souvent, qu'une inversion ...
