		<description><![CDATA[During the 1960’s in the United Kingdom, Scooter shops would compete to produce their own unique and individual scooters based on either a Piaggio Vespa or an Innocenti Lambretta. These scooters were often tuned with their own unique paint work and their own identity and then put out on the track to race! &#160; One [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the very least, subsequent use of the Union Jack in the Gear boutique sunglasses of 1965 and John Entwistle&#8217;s jacket on the cover of The Who&#8217;s My Generation in 1966 can be directly traced to Geoff Reeve&#8217;s similar experiments with sunglasses and silk screened fabrics in the early 60s. The art-clothing connection of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Indeed the concepts of motion, action, and speed that were inherent in the paintings and designs of the early decade were quite closely mirrored by the modernist culture. London&#8217;s Situationists particularly attempted to redefine the contents of the canvas not as pictures but as events and the recording of a sequence of actions. Names such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does it make any sense to associate mod culture&#8211;ostensibly known as a working-class ethic with strong emphasis on the materialistic- with the elitist and cultured atmosphere that the word &#8220;art&#8221; usually brings to mind? Direct connections might exist or have existed: ex-art school types who are/were mods, bands like The Creation who fused art school [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the history of musical trends in mod culture is easily chronicled, any attempt to strongly classify bands or music as mod is flawed in its premise; there is no mod music per se, just music that mods have traditionally liked and listened to. To view music as a more fundamental or necessary component of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere on the way home from school or work, the mods went &#8220;missing&#8221;-they were absorbed into a noonday underground of cellar clubs, discotheques, boutiques and record shops which lay hidden beneath the straight world. Kids collected records obsessively, being as passionate about it as the acquisition of clothes. It was important to hear something first, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As part of an almost an inevitable backlash given the pre-eminence of baggy and grunge in the early part of the decade, the pendulum swung again as British youth rediscovered the ideologies of modernism. The watershed event will most likely be remembered as being Blur&#8217;s release of Modern Life Is Rubbish, an album that signalled [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The post-punk return to modernism of the late 1970s was mostly a fiasco, in hindsight doomed to failure as a result of its essentially derivative nature and lack of original talent. Largely energized by the first ever full-length commercial film about mods (Quadrophenia), the bandwagonesque set of bands that sprung up (The Lambrettas, Merton Parkas, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first wave of modernist youth emerged in or around London in the late 1950s. Most commentators agree on certain basic themes: mod was predominantly working-class, male-dominated, and centered on an obsessive clothes-consciousness which involved a fascination with American and Continental styles. The Dean in Colin Macinnes&#8217; Absolute Beginners is a typical early modernist: College-boy [...]]]></description>
