Mods never wore DMs . That was Skinheads attire in the late 60s / early 70s . They listened to Trojan Ska and mixed with black people, the same as Mods did in the 60s.
Very strange documentary. Wannabes but well filmed and edited. Shame abot the content. Mods came on the scene in 52 to 54 as Ja,z modernists. Beatnicks riding scooters who adopted the ivy league / french look. By 59 had evolved to R&B , influences were 1930s to 1940s chicago and delta blues , hence by 1962 you had The Kinks by 64 all over with High Numbers, The Creationanfred Mann etc. Then it was psychedelia . Small Faces Byrds etc. Yardbirds
1979 : Cool
2022 : Comedy
