Blog Site Analaysis- (This is a MODern World)

This blog provides a forum for lovers of the Mod scene and lifestyle, both previous and current.

As you scroll through the blogs it is obvious to see that Clothing, Music (and its Artists) and Mod histories are the most talked about issues. There are a lot of topics that are posted for discussion for example the history and influence of the New Wave movement and its influence on the mod music scene.
The term Mod revival is debated a great deal among the people who would term themselves as modern day Mods.

Scrolling down further and after much debate it is summarised by the majority of the bloggers, that many of the mod revival bands were influenced by the energy of British punk rock and New Wave music. The revival was led by The Jam (whose frontman Paul Weller is nicknamed The Modfather), and included bands such as Secret Affair, Purple Hearts, Squire, and The Chords.

Many of the blogs then go on to talk about the 1990s Britpop genre that displayed obvious mod influences, with bands such as Ride, Oasis, Blur and Ocean Colour Scene (who have collaborated with Paul Weller).

These are just two examples of the issues that are mooted in detail on the blog site.

This blog site serves to prove the point that at its peak the Mod movement was particularly mainstream and that Mod has spread around the world, but now mainly exists as an underground scene.
