Mod culture.


I found a resemblance between the former picture (The Mod target) with the latter picture (The Royal Air Force target).
Save you from all the wonderings. They both have no relation.

Lately, I see quite a number of youngsters displaying the Mod Target either on their clothings and even vehicles!

What the heck for, may I ask?

Hold it. I am not condemning Mod. I am trying to imply how our local teens follow cultures oh soo blindly. and foolishly.
How many of them poseur know the history behind Mod Culture?
Huh huh huh?

Heres some facts about Mod culture.
a. Mod is short for Modernism
b. Mod originated in London in the late 1950s and peaked at 1960s
c. Mod rides around in scooter
d. London - based Mod boys dress in suits, neat, narrow trousers, (and) pointed shoes
e. Mod girls displayed a boyish femininit (with)...huge, darkened eyes and thinness.

Basically they just adore fashion and are wll-groomed.
Unlike local teens MOD who wears black all the time.
Oh! and by 1967, Mod style was seguing into hippy!
Hah! Beat that you monochrome teens!

"Huge, darkened eyes and thinness"
Sounds familiar?
Well. Bring in the Mod sixties fashion!
Say T.W.I.G.G.Y people!
