Mods and Rockers

Redirected from Rockers (youth movement)

The Mods and the Rockers were two British youth movements of the early 1960s. Gangs of mods and rockers fighting in 1964 sparked a moral panic about British youth.

The Rockers adopted a macho biker gang image; the Mods adopted a pose of scooter-driving "sophistication".
