GET BACK // Q: Are you a Mod or a Rocker?

The Mods and the Rockers were rival subcultures in the UK in early 1960s. The Mods were sharp and fashion-forward. Feminine with a bit of androgny mixed in for good measure They wore Slim clothes such as deep Chelsea collars & tube skirts. Bouffant Hair styling, Cocktail dresses, Clean lines, oh my! In terms of music bands like The Who were Mod favorites. They danced all night with a generaly polished, urban image. They embraced modernity and fashion. In contrast, there were the rockers. Influenced by 1950s rock and roll. Slicked back pompadours, Leather jackets often decorated with pins. Simple white tees underneath. Think classic rock and roll bad boy. They loved motorcycles and good ol' fashioned American rock and roll like Elvis and Chuck Berry. These Images were shot on a roll of ilford HP5 that expired some time in the late 80s!! I found it in the school darkroom
