I think a strong case can be made for the essential britishness of the mod
movement. The fact that they amalgamated italian suits and scooters,
american music, ska, french loafers, etc. into a unique worldview that
survives to this day is amazing. That's not to say that americans, swedes,
spaniards,and canadians can't be mods or mod sympathizers, I just think that
the britons have a strongest claim to modness.
When was the first siting of an american mod? My guess would be late 70's
early 80's.
