I heard that all mods are gay is this true? Forgive me if im wrong im only 5 and my brother told me that mods would get together wearing nothing but big leather boots and put there pee pees in cereal boxs
I'am an original from 1969 and i can tell you I remember at fifteen in 1969 the culture was coming into my school with 1/4 inch Bovver turn-ups in your strides and the proper skinhead haircuts coming in so much that a lot of my mates were banned from coming into school with that look! and when I left school I couldn't afford proper DMs that was for the boys who could pay that sort of money, all I could get were old army surplass hobnail boots but they did the trick and was the business : )
This looks good, was a Mod in 79 but had Skin mates who I'd go football etc with, had some crossover with parts of the fashion & we liked some of each others music as well, my Skin friends liked The Jam & i liked Ska / bluebeat reggae
My daughter thinks that me on the left 0:40 O.o The other lads look seriously familiar as well, might be in the lookout for a new flighty as my old MA1 is beginning to lose its padding a bit.
I am a skin who loves to watch late Victorian footage of Britain and Ireland back then and, surprisingly, I have only seen one dark skinned person in many videos from that era. I have been told that the black man has always been here!
Great video :) was looking at getting a pair of docs had no idea they had anything to do with 2 tone and ska/punk but I suppose it makes sense with the skinheads. Love Pauline Black and 2 Tone in general, actually super happy Gorillaz went and got her for Charger and have gone into Dancehall. Fashion really has come full circle and love that the music has if a bit more modern too. Punk is coming back more, dancehall is massive and dub having a comeback and Grime is basically the new punk. Shame the politics had to come with it ;)
people forget that original skinhead are a distillation of the american ivy league look brought to england by john simmons in the late 50s ,have nothing to do with working class or being hard
indy 56 yeah back to rude boys and fashion, I get it's a doc ad so they skipped over the shoe changes. i really doubt America had much to do with it. Maybe rock n roll teens were the first teenagers which was global but after that the subcultures split off.
Estevão Aragão After the Beatles invasion of America England really broke away from American influence .and set the trend for the world in fashion and music for decades to come .
Time for a revival because this style is timeless.
The bars in the narration is just 🔥. I haven’t simultaneously danced and been woke in a while.
This is not a fashion! Is a Way of Life! Great vid! I'm waiting the full film!

Pauline Black still looks beautiful. She never ages. Much love 1990 Skin for Life!

Saw her with Gorillaz at the o2 and she's still got the moves :)
That's racist to call Pauline Black. 📞

What utter bollocks, its the next gen from Mods with a slight west Indian influence, they wore different styles before it started to go highstreet.
