The
mod revival was a
music genre and
subculture that started in England in 1978 and later spread to other countries (to a lesser degree). The
mod revival's mainstream popularity was relatively short, although its influence has lasted for decades. The mod revival post-dated a
Teddy Boy revival, and mod revivalists sometimes clashed with Teddy Boy revivalists,
skinhead revivalists,
casuals,
punks and rival
gang members.
