it's a mod mod mod mod world

Indonesian mod revival band!

Japanese mods!

Swedish mods clash with Swedish rockers!

They do this every year apparently!


Apparently there's Mods in California today, or so someone told me, but all I could find was these things about the Eighties LA mod scene

and for dessert, the original revivalists, the class of 79
