Mods and Rockers

Hi Geobloggers!

I will write about a documentary of BBC of 2014 called "Mods and Rockers", this documentary talks about two subcultures of middle of 1960 on  United Kingdom, the Mods and the Rockers, both born in postwar period (after second world war) like expression of youth freedom.

The "Mods" or "modernists" focused in fashion, wore suits, and music like soul, ska and blues, and they rode motor scooters, while the Rockers centred on motorcycling  and the rock and roll music as well as they wore  black leather jackets. Both subcultures was confronted and were looked down upon socially on that period.

 I think that this documentary is very interesting because I don't known much about the modern culture of England, and these subcultures are still alive, although aren't very popular, exist many people around the world that follow these styles, specially the Rockers, some people still rode motorcycles, wear black leather jackets and they meet for go across the city at present.
