Mod / Modernism is a movement which includes, but is not limited to, dressing sharp in 1960s-influenced attire, listening to mod / power-pop, ska, soul and jazz, and often jetting about on Vespa or Lambretta scooters. The 1979 revival brought Mod into the spotlight, with The Jam at the helm. Music is a blend of soul, power pop and punk. Also, some elements of jazz and reggae may be incorporated.
