Contemporary male Mods

Here is a couple of pictures of contemporary Mod 'icons' and celebrities who are helping wave the flag of Mod in todays culture and i believe are an excellent example as to how there has been a impact of the Mod for it to be still be in our culture today which i really what my essay is all about. I couldn't really be bothered writing a great deal about them so i'm pretty much just going to say who they are. Its pretty evident through their appearance how they are Mods so i felt i didn't need to say much!

Bradley Wiggins 

Martin Freeman

Gallagher Brothers 

Miles Kane 

Paul Weller the 'modfather'

I definitely have an idea of what Mod style is and to recognise what contemporaries there are in our British culture today is a good exercise in realising that the culture is still alive, an argument i will be making for my essay. Its also interesting to point out that with the exception of Bradley Wiggins who is a professional cyclist and Martin Freeman all the other examples take place musically but it just goes to show how important style and image is to musicians.
