Bowie was a Mod, what he wasn't is one of the stars at the time....but he was a Mod....he was into the clothes and the music just not musically prominent....that was later for him when he came into his own......and he stayed a MODernist throughout his life.
What you're trying to say Swiss is that if you are famous for creating a whole new persona and music for yourself you can't have been anything else previously in your younger years....he was a Mod prior to him coming to the fore.....now fuck you tiresomely thick cunt for not understanding this.

Can't you read English? It's not just about style as I said. It's about musical tastes as well. It's a lifestyle being "a mod".

Surely Bowie was a narcissist who jumped on any and every musical bandwagon in order to further his grand scheme of becoming rich and famous and shagging beautiful women.
That's not to say he didn't make some great music, but I think it's a fair appraisal. In one way it's a relief he's dead, because it takes some of the limelight off Freddy Mercury as a massively over-rated dead poof. Just one less play of Bohemian Rhapsody or Killer Queen would be a blessing.
Macca and Dylan soon - then we can forget the pair of them.

Exactly Anon, also the stupid cunt Swiss doesn't realise how long it was about... it was started in the late 50's by 'MODernists' who listened to modern jazz.......he goes on like he knows shit and really knows fuck all whilst listening to young adults house music......Bowie was always a modernist even after the Mods had faded away.....

he was a mod, then he was something else, then he was something else. if it's as simple as your style and what music you like I'm not sure how can ague against it Swiss.

Snide you really are a thick cunt not to understand the difference between a niun and an adjective.
Roger Daltery and Steve Marriot were mods not Bowie. Being "a mod" is about dress code and also music preferences like Tamla Motown, Atlantic Music, Ska and the pre-punk music of The Who, The Small Faces, The Kingsmen etc.
In the late 90s we had mod look revival but I wouldn't call the Verve mods.
Fucking simpleton.

Went for the 10th Glastonbury in a row this year, best place on earth, wouldn't miss it for the world.
Highlights: Hak Baker (sings a song about 'Sunny East London' could well be a West Ham song), Little Sims (Superstar in the making), Little Dragon and Paul McCartney was like watching a piece of history.
The best parts are in the little moments walking around and in the crowd and the late night debauchery. We did a human centipede for example hahaha

Side ,
Careful mate. If we can't agree what 'mod' means, wait till we get started on R'n'B. From the Yardbirds, Stones and the 'Oo, to all that shit that get's call R'n'B today.

I never got the Mod thing as I grew up with punk.
Harking back to a 60s culture just seemed a bit silly.

Come on now. This isn’t the first time someone has said something daft on here and then painted themselves into a corner over it, and it won’t be the last. This discussion is going on longer than Paul Weller’s pathetic, feathery sideburns.

It’s more the term Mod (modern for their time) than the look Soldy. I’m saying we’ve all (those that were into both music and clothes) tried to be a Mod and the only stand alone on that has probably been heavy metal over here although I’m sure there are more. I’m also open to discussion here and trying to say the ‘Mod’ could have had some longevity the fact you probably won’t except is that Depeche MODe were part of the Mod movement of their own the early 80’s more so than your rehashed version of the 60’s Mod….anything that was new and groundbreaking of the time can be considered a Mod thing it was just never termed it as I guess they liked their own naming of it.

Hang on Sidey... you saying you expected the Mod movement to gravitate to spiky red hair lipstick and platform shoes?? 65-67 the movement was on its way out in London... yup North it still flourished... you can hardly say that the kids that in the early 60's clicking fingers to Howlin Wolf'... dancing to Tamla ... and watching Georgie Fame were gonna start following Ziggy.... known fact... the Mods that were around either went to fuck all or went the harder route... suedehead/skinhead...

Bowie flirted with everything that’s how he stayed ahead….he was what the Mod should have been…..modern for their time. He left it behind whereas the term should have moved with the likes of him…..it didn’t and ended up a rehash about a decade later….

Bowie may have flirted with mod imagery but in no way was he part of the wider movement. If you ask anyone to name mod icons the dame's name would not be mentioned.
